Stigma Bullcrap at Work

Do you ever tire of stigma? I know that I am a difficult person and I don't always do things right, but at work, I have a very good trait of getting the customer what they need and I care about the public very much.

So, yes, I am a pain in the ass, but I try to stay to myself and not interfere with other people and I always try to be polite on the phone.


I am the Adult Child of an Alcoholic and sister to three (all sober and well behaved) and like them, I work a program daily.

So, if I stay to myself and I dont' bother anyone and I am quiet and I try to be polite, then why are people still mean?

I'm not trying to be a goody goody. I'm just trying to do my job.

Because no matter what you do or how hard you try there are still ass holes and will always be ass holes everywhere. You just keep doing a good job and dont let them get to you thay are obviously miserable people. I take calls from doctors all day and they can be very rude as well. I try not to let it get to me but I know its hard and we dont deserve it. Keep your head up and know how awesome you really are!

People are afraid of what they don't understand. Happy, bubbly and outgoing just don't get us. How we can function for the job yet not be a part of "them".

There will always be mean people.
As long as you believe in yourself and like who you are, it doesn't matter what they think. Be true to yourself and hold you head up high,

There are mean people everywhere. They are a part of life.

Some people are just jerks and I find that the biggest ones don't even understand what they are being so rude about in the first place. Don't let it get to you. You are doing a great job!

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
