crazy

Long time no blog.
Well nothing interesting has really happened over the past month so I haven't attempted to blog at all. It's just the past few days that have been eventful. Not necessarily in the good way.
Had a terrible day at work yesterday. I think it was one of the worst so far. It was crazy person after crazy person and it all just had to occur at the same time. And on the weekend when you don't have the regular people in charge who know what's going on. Of course, Murphy's law. There was this ongoing problem that someone had and the son was calling and everyone of course had to be serving a customer (me included) and I had to answer the phone and explain things. To be honest I think I got to the point of even being rude to the guy on the phone because we've already done what we can within our capacity, you're creating a ton of problems and making us fix this and that the way you want it. We know very clearly what we are doing and have done, it's then on your end to make sure things work out on your side. And then this other couple came in and another complicated story arised where none of us knew how to do the correct thing. All this while the lady boss is on duty. Because of course it had to be super busy and everything just HAD to go wrong. In the afternoon this young couple came back to return something because it expired at the end of the month and it wasn't something that was going to be used regularly - got a refund and everything, which put a huge question mark on the stock management when the boss wasn't there. I was so frustrated I told this girl who was quitting I wish I could quit too.
I'm so tired of working now, and after yesterday I'm starting to think I'm really not cut out for this. I hate dealing with these crazy people. I know I shouldn't take it personally but to handle crazy people and the pressure to be on the ball for 6.5 hours every week is just so exhausting. Every saturday I get home dead, and it's one of my shorter shifts in the week, and no-one can say anything about it either. My face was completely black by the end of the morning and I think I probably burned my chances of getting hired for next year. Initially at the start of my shift, she was asking me questions about work and exams and all, and then the craziness happened and after that it was zero conversation really.
Looking back now, I really shouldn't have behaved like that and said that to the other girl (hopefully no one else heard me.....). If I can't handle the stress now, how am I supposed to manage it next year, and myself at that. I think it was also the frustration of not knowing things when I'm there almost every day of the week -.- Felt stupid, useless and just frustrated with the whole bloody situation.
It's also the holiday season now, one lady's going on annual leave (she has...relations and strings are pulled without her having to pull them herself lol), another lady's taking leave because she's moving house, one girl is quitting. The next 2 weeks are going to be nuts for me. Don't know why I agreed but I'm working tomorrow through to Sunday, seminar on monday and tuesday, wednesday day off, thursday back to work till sunday and then who knows what's happening the week after. And I'm meant to study on top of this. What?!!
Mega big sigh. Really sick of all this.
Oh and I also went whale watching today but that's a post for another day. Still feeling too ARGH to talk about anything else other than venting about yesterday's happenings.
