Getting Over the Hump-day

I am thankful that today is Humpday... although I feel as though it should be Friday at this point, as this week has somehow managed to drag on relentlessly, to my dismay it is not...

Do you ever find yourself annoyed by your day? For instance I am quite annoyed with every day this week, I am tired of answering phones at work and talking to people who don't listen or care or just doubt that I am listening or that I care and I am getting frustrated from other's frustrations.

Like the transferrance of energy, these angry and rude customers calling in day after day and week after week are slowely wearing me down. They somehow manage to transfer this anger and frustration through the telephone so that I go home feeling that way myself despite not having anything to be angry or frustrated about.
I really believe that in life you get what you give, I always try to be decent to others and treat them with the same respect I in turn would like to receive. Unfortunately not everyone is like this and there are always some Debbie Downers in the bunch but overall I would like to say that when I give "happy" I get "happy" and it's nice. This week however there hasn't been any transferring of "happy" and I really just want a break from it. Maybe it's because I didn't get a full weekend off and I am now paying for it or maybe it's my monthly 'friend' who is deciding my mood at the moment but either way I just want to go home, lie in bed and read a book while leaving everything and everyone (mostly everyone) outside my closed doors.

I must say I am thankful that this is a temporary position, although I very much enjoy being around everyone I work with and it is a really good environment I definitely don't enjoy Customer Service... although I have come a long ways from tearing up at the first customer yelling at me because he wasn't happy with his services - I definitely don't feel that I am a good fit for being the "Go To" person.
In some ways I think I'm like a sponge and any negativity or anger that is presented to me is sucked in and I take everything personally so that at the end of the day I am so overwhelmed that I feel like breaking down at times.

This is one reason I am so happy to be going to school and creating my own path. One comment my Massage Basics teacher made was that "In the last 40 years of doing my job I have never had anyone leave my massage table unhappy, and that in itself has made my career very satisfactory" and really who would leave a massage unhappy??? A statue perhaps... but no person I know would and that is a refreshing thought.
I very much look forward to starting this new journey and hopefully it will be just as rewarding and satisfying as I think it will be.
