Pick & Choosing My Battles!

Torrington, Connecticut
November 4, 2015 11:26am CST
Its been a very long day of many ups and downs! I have been struggling to stay positive all day and something always comes up. I have been literally picking and choosing my battles all day and its been weighing on me. I have been taking pressure and dealing with rude customers all morning and been biting my tongue and trying to brush it off. Staying positive is harder said than done thats why I prepare myself mentaly for days like today and I simply pick and choose my battles from now on.

I feel you, I also feel for the other girl in the office with me. She chooses her battles with a husband and wife boss all day long and one asks her to do something their way and then one asks her to do it their way and she has to choose and pick on what she is to do because she knows one is going to get upset. She always says to me IDC and justmoves on with doing what she is told and at the end of the day someone will get mad but everyone just moves on and makes the rest of the day better by leaving work and moving on with their family.

The sad thing is people think they have a right to be rude to you and you have to take it.

It is the wind that made them customers grouchy. Yup that is what made you have to pick your battles today. Yup...Blame it on the wind. Have a better day tomorrow.

You have to brush it off because people can be so difficult to deal with. Don't let them get to you.
