Our bruises are a-comin'
I can't stress enough how much I cannot stand people who escalate situations unnecessarily. This is a ridiculously common thing in my job. I can usually even pinpoint why they would, thanks to that analytical junk of mine. But I can't stand it. Especially when it gets to the point where I flat-out have to hang up on them. This has only happened a few times thus far, but it really irks me.
I am the type of person who has a genuine appreciation for resolution. I like to be logical. I like to reach conclusions. I like to provide people with resolutions.
With work, this can be either very satisfying because I'm able to give them what they want and/or more (which they had no idea was available), or horribly disappointing because there's nothing that can be done and/or the person is stupid/belligerent and flat-out won't listen, so I can't keep wasting time repeating myself.
There was such a situation this evening, and the stress got to me. I guess it's just the first time it's really hit me like that. It sticks with me a little. I mean, seriously..
Good point of reference..
When living with a significant other, I could not go to sleep if we had been arguing and there was no resolution. If it meant going to work on no sleep at all, that was fine, as long as we were at least working on it.. talking about it.
I just don't like to give up..
but I guess some people don't give you much of a choice.
On the bright side, I feel more inclined to get off my ass and work on setting myself on a path towards something that feels more like a genuine calling for me.
