it's been awhile
well it's been forever since I last posted... and this will probably be the last one for a while. Life has been rather busy. Work and School have started up in full swing. I think that I might be digging my own grave for this semester. Working, as well as taking a complete full load of graduate classes is already about to kill me. It's cool though. The Lord will get me through it. :)
Today was probably the worst day I have had in a long time. I really don't know why... but I woke up and I was just so emotional. You know those days where you just know it's not going to be a good day for some reason. Well... so here's the story. At work today some older man came in wanting to cash a check. Well, procedures are... you ask for the customers identification to make sure it is their account, before giving them money. So we are talking having a nice conversation... and I say... sir, may I see your license. Well, at that point, all hell breaks loose. He proceeds to tell me (YELL AT ME so that the whole branch and everyone in the branch can hear)that he was the first one to open an account at amsouth (and amsouth opened in like 1874 ... so we know this fella is gotta be old from what he is saying...)and that no one has ever asked to see his license before and that he should close out his account because I asked to see his license. Okay so at this point he is yelling at me. (which I don't really understand because his license was in his front pocket... it's not like he had to make any effort to show it to me.)So then I ask him how he would like his money back and he just starts yelling at me again telling me I should know. Then he asks to see my manager... and goes back there and starts yelling at my manager about me asking for his license. Well... I mean I know I am not supposed to take things personally.... but I honestly can not figure out why someone would get sooo upset about asking for identification. I mean seriously.. it is to protect them so that no one comes in under their name and tries to get money out.... THEY SHOULD BE THANKFUL! SO then I have the next customer... and she's just trying to console me... and is like it's okay it's okay... and then everyone in the branch is calling my line and saying it's okay you did the right thing... well for people to do that (I know they mean well) it just got me all worked up again... so right then and there with the customer in my line.. I just start crying. I was like oh really how much worse can this get. And I couldn't stop the tears... I was trying but they just kept on coming. Finally, I pulled myself together and finished the next customer's transaction... with many apologies. People are just weird... I have just decided that I just don't understand some people. They make no sense to me. But that's okay... I just love them anyway.
So let's see... any more news. I just started up in a small group at Church of the Highlands. It's Song of Solomon... and it's going to be AWESOME! I already can't wait till the next week's session.
School is a lot of work... does anyone want to do my papers for me? It would be much appreciated. :) Well I need to go to bed. I miss everyone! :) Keep me updated!
