yesterday was the worst day of work ever. I felt really depressed going into work and I didnt want to go at all. I felt burned out on everything, and I just wanted to go to bed to make the day end. All day customers were doing great at making me feel burned out on life. Then some guy covered in tattoos walks up and here is how the conversation goes:
Guy:(severely angry) give me the number to your district manager.
Me:(a little confused) Why do you want that number?
Guy:(more angry, almost yelling) You have a dragon fountain that I want, but theres no box, it barely works, and that girl tells me I cant have a discount! I want it now! Its my wifes birthday and I want it!
Me: Well technically we arent even supposed to sell the floor models. We cant give you a discount because it can be written off and we can be reimbursed, therefore, giving you a discount would lose us money. Im sorry but thats our company rules.
Guy:(threatening voice) Give me the number to your district manager now!
At this point im so mad im shaking, Im feeling more burned out on life than ever, and I managed to choke out a "hold on one second" then I walk away. I had to go to the back room and collect myself for I was seconds away from delivering a dropkick from off of the counter. I walked back out and gave him some number to our complaint department, then he angrily stomped out. This pretty much made me feel 10 times worse than I already did about being alive. Im usually good at handling these situations, as Ive dealt with many, but I was already feeling like garbage, and this didnt help.
Im sorry if this was boring or spam or whatever, but I had to share this. Im really bored with life right now....

Y'need to vent sometime; 's not healthy to keep it all bottled up inside. ... Lookit me being silly and offering advice whilst not taking it myself. *laughs* Everyone should try to follow a dream sometime, or at least commit one senseless act of beauty each day, minimum. *nods* Senseless acts of beauty and random acts of kindness.
