I guess I'm still cranky! I'm really trying not to be, but I'm just cranky! I work in a job where people are sick. Sometimes they are REALLY sick. Like DYING sick. Sometimes they are just ... Well ... "shoulda stayed home and dealt with it, get over it everybody gets a cold" kind of sick. I don't mind SICK people. I don't mind people who are REALLY hurt and in need of medical attention. It IS what I do! But SOMETIMES I get REALLY TIRED of the WHINY people who really just have a common cold and come to the ER! I don't understand people who bring their kids to the EMERGENCY room because "well they weren't feeling good last week so I thought I'd have them checked out" ( Oh yea, and those ARE the people who don't pay copays by the way!)
Or the people who have a "headache for two years" but INSIST they have to be seen IMMEDIATELY!
Normally I just deal with the whining and let it go. But every now and again the whining in my life just gets to me!! It's at work. It's at home. And sometimes it's even here on the boards. I was not sympathetic to someone who was upset and vented on the boards. Instead of saying "oh, I'm sorry. It's ok" I saw the OTHER side and stood up for it. I expressed my opinion and as I expected I got blasted. That's ok, it's what I expected. The sad part for me was when I apologized I felt like I was slapped in the face for it - with another WHINE!!
I really needed to vent here. I NEEDED to WHINE! So now I'm done... well for now! And hopefully I will stop being so cranky because I have to start getting my behind in gear for a trip coming up in LESS THAN THREE WEEKS!
I gotta do something to increase my whine tolerance! Maybe I outta start drinking more?
