She really had no business interfering in the first place, which probably contributed greatly to my going off on her.<BR/><BR/>Hey, Steve, good to see you back.<BR/><BR/>Trust me, Pugsy, I don't feel that bad about it.

But if it REALLY bothers you, then I recommend that you "over-compensate" then next time you see her, with a LOT of hugging and gushy platitudes.

I'm sure she had it coming (my boss has but I won't give it to her!)<BR/><BR/>If she's normally a good customer then she'll appreciate you making it up to her next time. I agree with Kan that it's the same people who make me - not snap - I'm too timid - but make my back stiffen.<BR/><BR/>I hate that feeling wheni'medgy and I have no reason for it but I don't know what to do with myself.

Anyone who is too insensitive to notice that you are busy working; squirming and stealing glances at the clock while listening to them, probably won't have the depth to feel all that insulted or abused.Scary Monsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07696640067623584730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555288.post-62758981526555532542007-03-06T16:30:00.000-05:002007-03-06T16:30:00.000-05:00If you snapped at her then she had it coming.LOL, ...<I>If you snapped at her then she had it coming.</I><BR/><BR/>LOL, Kan. That's pretty much what my boss (who overheard part of the exchange) said. He said he was just hoping I wouldn't bitch-slap her, since that doesn't make for real good customer relations. He'd have gotten me an expedited bail hearing, though.<BR/><BR/>I want a sign like yours, TFG.<BR/><BR/>Ah, yes, Littlebird -- the June Factor. LOL.<BR/><BR/>YES, I can confirm that it's possible to be happy and cranky at the same time. You are indeed vindicated. And I'm happier.

People need to realize that they are not the center of everyone's universe. Take it from someone who snaps at people daily- they have it coming. I know this because it seems to be the same people who make me snap repeatedly while others have yet to ever make me snap. It is all in how they approach me.
