Boy did yesterday kind of get away from me. Was in a pretty somber mood for most of the day, not sure if it was the new meds or just the fact that I don't like my communications teacher and I walked blindly into a test in class yesterday. Then, after a decently uneventful day at work, one of my coworkers straight went off on me for what I see as no reason. She said she asked me to help her with something and I just blew her off.
For one thing, I never heard her make the request. It caused some customers to wait longer than they should have, but things happen in the retail business. She knows I've just started a new med and she tore into me saying she'd been on meds for 24 years and that was no excuse for disrespecting her. She wouldn't even accept the fact that I didn't hear a word she said about asking me for help. Oh well, she'll get over it.
Mmmm.....chili cheese fries.......
The triumph I felt during and after this situation was apparent to me right away. I didn't get flaming posse off when confronted like I always do. I may have raised my voice a bit at one point but for the most part I handled the situation a lot more calmly than I'm known for. As her manager I had every right to hand her a write up for what she did, but there was no point to doing that. I did call my boss to explain what happened and she called the store to talk to the coworker. I don't know what was said but I'm sure I'll find something out tomorrow.
Last night was decent. The girlfriend and I talked like we used to. Felt good.
Guess I better get to class. Until next time.
End of line....
