It Hasn’t Been The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

I have dealt with the grouchiest people lately! If you read my blog, you know I talk to the public a lot. And I do mean a LOT. I have been seeing and hearing so much hatefulness through the phone and in person that I have just been wanting to scream at some people lately.

I have been slammed at work and getting yelled at by people who don’t know me. They get mad when I can’t help them. Then proceed to call me names. I thought it would ease up a little. No. Not even a little.

Then the other day was an epic day for bullshit and it was like someone had flipped my bitch switch. I think they thought they could just do a drive by with hatefulness and I wouldn’t say anything back. That is this person’s typical way of handling life. She is hateful to people and then runs and hides behind an authority figure for cover. Well, I haven’t been feeling real good about that type of interaction so I let her know how I felt…in detail and with examples. Let’s just say she didn’t get the resolution she was expecting and she wasn’t too happy about it. What really got me, though, is I was minding my own freaking business when she decided to pull this crap. Why did she feel the need to start something?

And I don’t get people’s attitudes right now. It’s the holidays for goodness sakes! I want to reflect on what just happened in Newtown, CT and what those poor people are going through. I want to also reflect on the birth of Jesus and the effect of that. I don’t want to deal with pettiness and meanness. It’s ridiculous. I just want to tell some of these people to grow up. The last thing I want this time of year is to have this crap of people acting childish and pitching fits and causing drama. Where’s this peace on Earth I have heard sung about? Goodwill toward men? Joy to the World?

That Crazy Moon

I am a firm believer that the moon affects our moods. If the moon can move the oceans, surely it can affect how I feel. I wondered why I was feeling so crappy last night. I checked the moon cycle this morning. The new moon is on Monday and I have found that typically about 2-3 days before the new or full moon I get irritable as all get out. I was ill as wet hen last night. My mood has not improved this morning. The only other thing that can get me this irritated is when my blood sugar gets too low.

Now I am not the only one who is affected by the moon. Wouldn’t that be funny if it was just me? The rest of the world is just as easily affected as me, though! I talked to a lot of people last night and a few were not too nice. I was like, “Are you trying to make me scream?!” I didn’t scream, but I sure wanted to.

I suppose the people I dealt with last night and this morning should be quite grateful that I have a filter. Otherwise I might have cussed them up one side and down the other. And I really don’t want to be that way, but I also don’t want to feel so angry that I have to wait until I am safely in my car with the windows up before I say all the ugly words I want to say. I wish my Mama could see that I really did listen when she told me that if I didn’t have anything nice to say then to say nothing at all. (well, to the person I want to say it to) She would have been proud of me. I only cursed in the car! Yay me! :)
