I can't stand the phone anymore and I am a receptionist, so that is not good. Also, I can't deal with people anymore either. I hate how people complain about every single little thing. I can't take it!! How do you guys feel about your jobs?

Oh honey! I'm a cashier at Wal-Mart and I know your pain!! I've got people who want to tell me their life story, complain about things I have no control over, make jokes that I've heard several times a day, ect. These kinds of jobs makes you really hate the 'public'. Where are you a receptionist at?

What a dantastic discussion. Sorry I didnt see ti sooner. I think you just summed up the workday blues there in 3 lines. Unfortunately I dont have a computer in work - as I work in a kitchen so I will never have the pleasure of venting these blues so well. SO are you still in the job? Are you still just as miserable?

If you are not enjoying your job - try to get something else. Unfortunately, you will probably find that there are always moaners and groaners - that's just how us humans have become - but at least in different job they will be moaning about something different!

Wow I had no idea it was like that. I mean I know people complain, we all do it but I've never worked in that public of a job that I couldn't just change the subject . I think it would drive me crazy aswell. I guess though I have had my fill of complainers but Ive found now that I work for myself I don't deal with it much and the ones I get I try to change the subject quickly. I sympathize with you. bbsmiles

I would suggest yoga or personal meditation of some sort for calming. It can really help as well as isometric exercise. It is a way to temporarily shift focus and assist your stress levels.
