Deja Vu

Do you ever have one of those days where it's going all wrong, you have several "I'm surrounded by idiots!" moments, and you just can't wait to get home and hide in your room? Well that was my day today. First thing at work today one of my fellow associates yelled at me for running my mouth about her, which I never do by the way, but every time she sees me she accuses me of doing just that and goes to management and "tells on me". Why she keeps doing it I have no idea because all my managers know I don't do it, but whatever floats her boat I guess. To give you a sampling of the customers I dealt with today here is one of the more intelligent conversations I held: I'm called to the registers to ring, I call up my first customer and there's a receipt on the counter, and she says to me before I even get my hands on it, "That's not my receipt, it's not mine." It was literally all I could do, this was towards the end of the day mind you so I was about done with people in general, to not reply, "No s***, Sherlock." We won't even get into my drive home. Needless to say I took the long way home so I could drive my frustrations out. Well during my long drive I was thinking about my day, and different witty comebacks I wish I could have said without getting fired, and all the other things in my life that are frustrating, because when doesn't a bad day at work make you think of all the horrible things in your life? Anyway, a thought popped into my head, it was a status I had written on facebook 3 years ago now, and while it didn't immediately make me all smiles it did help calm me down some. The gist of the status was that God has me in the palm of His hand and no matter what happens I'm safe and taken care of there. Nothing going on in the world will affect me unless He decides to let it to accomplish His perfect will, even if I don't know or understand what it is. Completely different circumstances today than when I wrote that 3 years ago, but it's still just as nice to know today that somebody (God) has his stuff together, knows what He's doing, and that no matter what's going on there is a purpose behind it and it'll all make sense and get better sooner or later. My goal for the rest of the week? Take deep breaths and smile and wave! The weekend is almost here and I have the whole thing off, I think I can last 2 more days :)
