Now that I look back at my old attempt at writing a humor book, I begin to think that it's not all it should be. I think it's because it's been over a year since I even touched this material and I'm a different person now. Maybe it's just that I'm stressed out because of my job and the holidays, which go hand-in-hand. Maybe it's that the material just isn't as funny as I thought it was - although I still love the "might make manager someday if I can keep out of jail" line.
This has been a week from Hell. I am firmly of the opinion that everybody in America needs to work in customer service for a minimum of 3 - 6 months. This would give everyone some much needed perspective, which a lot of the people I've been waiting on this week seem to lack. I know it's the holidays, and that no one really likes going Christmas shopping, but Dear Lord, I haven't seen this many (pardon my French) arrogant, self-important, demanding, inconsiderate and unreasonable assholes in my life! (my mother-in-law, who reads this site pretty regularly, probably gasped at that last comment.)
Like I said, it's been a tough week. I've gotta get out of this job soon, or I'm going to go nuts.
I feel a little better after venting that emotional energy. Besides, I do have my Christmas shopping done and I have the Christmas holiday weekend to look forward to. That, and a loving wife, and everything will be fine eventually.
Take care,
~Rob
