My Spring Break

In a way, I was very jealous of the many other students who had the means and opportunity to go away for their Spring Break. Many fellow classmates that I called to do something when I wasn't working were away. While others were going to parties, traveling out of town, and spending time with their boyfriends and/or girlfriends, I was dealing with the lady from Southaven. She likes to buy her clothes from T.J.Maxx, wear them for about three weeks (sometimes not changing out of them), and then try to return them for a refund. She has been doing this since before I came to work there and still she hasn't been able to successfully return a single item of clothing. More often than not it is because of the smell that radiates from the garments.

Then, there is Mr. Reed. Mr. Reed is a man who personifies the phrase, "misery loves company." If he is not happy, then he wants to make sure that everyone around him is as equally unhappy. And he is unhappy most of the time. Oh, and he loves to come shopping at my store. You would think that a person who obviously dislikes people, who he considers to be so incompetent (even when we are not), would keep his sour puss ass at home. No such luck.

And finally, there is the company I work for sending down one ludicrous dictate after another. I have never worked for such a backwards company in my life. Wait, I did work for Wal-Mart twice, so never mind. People ask me why I still work for this company if I am so unhappy. The answer is simple; I am good at what I do. I have most of my adolescent life and all of my adult life thus far in customer service. It is what I do best, the only thing I know how to do, professionally speaking. That is why I came back to school. I wish to have a career that minimizes my interaction with the general public.

Anyway, I hope everyone enjoyed their Spring Break. Perhaps next year, I can enjoy mine the way I want to.
