Of me and turmoil and pain....
I take things to seriously I guess. I need to learn to let things go. Simple things make me angry and annoy me. Things like:
A. Someone from another bank called me yesterday. She called because one of our customers brought a money order which he had bought from us over to their bank to pay for something. He hadn't filled it out. Thinking she was just trying to verify that he had bought it himself, I told her that he'd paid for it and he just needed to make it out and sign it. She said, and I quote, "YOU need to make sure your customers know how to fill out a money order." *blinks* Ok, now if it was me, I wouldn't have called the other bank, I would have just asked him if he'd bought it and then showed him how to make it out. She wasted my time, her time and his time to call and ream me for not asking him if he knew how to do what everyone else seems to be able to do without my instruction. OK..... so I fumed for a bit.
B. People who try to do the same thing over and over again, even though you have told them a million times that there is a regulation preventing the bank from allowing them to do so........
Ok, so maybe I need to learn to let things blow over. But it gets to me. And I guess I don't really have an outlet. I don't have extra money to play with or else my daughter and I would hit the movie theater or a restaurant once in a while to blow off steam. I would take her out to play a game of mini golf or just go to Bangor. But.... Gas is up to $2.60 per gallon, I have to pay $290 per month for my car plus insurance. I have medical and household bills to pay. So I settle for occasionally not coming on line, reading a book or playing a game of Mancala instead, or simply vegging. I need a hot tub or something, I need to find something more relaxing to do.
P.S. Mum is going to do radiation... 5 days a week, for 6 weeks.... costly both in gas and in payments to the hospital. It's going to suck. Plus the meds they give her to offset the damage the radiation does can cause uterine cancer....yay... as if breast cancer wasn't enough. *sigh*
