11/22 Update

November 23rd, 2005 at 02:50 am

Hmmm, feels like it's been a while since I posted. It's been waaay too busy at work. What is it about the holiday season that makes people be so mean to customer service workers? Seriously, customers have been driving me crazy lately! I mean, I know everyone is starting to get stressed out about the holidays, but seriously I would like to help you if you would just stop screaming at me!! Sometimes I wonder if people ever think, "You know, maybe I shouldn't scream at this nice girl behind the counter, she didn't mess up my account, and if I'm nice and tell her the problem, things will be fixed that much faster." I don't think it even crosses their mind . . . Eh, I guess the people that are nice make up for it, but still.

So, other than that things have been alright. We're planning a pretty low key Thanksgiving. I only have Thursday off (who says bankers have great hours?), so we're having dinner with some friends. We're in charge of the stuffing and dessert. I'm thinking pumpkin pie, but since I've never made pumpkin pie we'll see.

Spending has been not so hot, but still close to my new goal . . .


Spending:

11/21

13.03 cigarettes

11/22

3.00 snacks at work -- did I say someone screamed at me for a half hour? yeah, stress snacks Smile


-$48.32 in budget (til this Friday)

(new goal: stay within $40) - well, I'll take $9 over . . . just have to be more careful with the next two weeks

    I can sympathize...I am not in customer service now, but have been in the past. I think everyone needs to work at a service job for at least a few weeks to experience the other side of the counter. It was absolutely amazing to me to see how people treated me and my coworkers. Hang in there!

    My DH works inside customer service for Starbucks. He told me that the hardest thing to get used to is no one will call him because something worked great.
