blind old ladies

These weeks have been absolutely insane. There was my birthday dinner, and random stuff at work.

I wish not to reveal my age, as I am getting to the fact where i feel old. but I am not there at all. After my dinner w a couple of friends. Me and a particular friend hung out afterwards. Stuff happened, right now I just want to forget it happened. My particular friend and I talked about it and we decided it would be best just to be friends. I feel good about this, because I would I hate to loose this person as a friend. Lets put it this way, if we dated and broke up, we wouldnt wnat to be friends.
Im going to stop here about this, but its been on my mind alot and I had to vent it out.

At work, there were a series of events that took me by surprise.
today for example I was at the cash rep w another employee, who is a very patriotic american. This guy went through her line and brought the kite runner. And she was like Its a story about a boy in the Middle east. When the customer left I explained to her there is a big difference between Afghanistan and the Middle East and people are insulted by this. She went on to say that she did not have to care about it and it didnt matter.

Low and behold, there was another customer in my line who was listening in and was like all americans are the same, its a shame dont you think. I looked at the customer and smiled.

I agree its ashame that Americans do nt know their geography, I could explain it like this. No American would say that America is part of Canada. Thats how it feels when people say stuff about how Afghanistan is part of the Middle East. Im glad that the customer stood her ground.

Another incident that baffled me was this OLD lady, I am saying OLD because she was difinantly old. Well getting to the point, this old lady was in my line and had ordered a book. I am like Its not back here I ll call the manager. Then she gave me a weird look and said SPEAK english. I was like, I am speaking english. She was like well I cant understnad you, Speak english.
Seriously, some people can be rude. but I decided to look at it another way. She was half blind.. and a person w particial vision would have sensorial hearing loss. making them prone to not understanding other people. Even thought I found her remarks offensive I took a deep breath and I just talked to her. Asking how she was, she turned out to be an interesting lady, and I feel bad that she has to go act like that to get what she needs. And I am sure people take it for granted that she is a rude lady,

Other matters tmr, I wonder what kind of poeple I ll meet tmr. I am starting to notice how customer service can have an affect on where you shop and how you treat people. And it can apply in a lot of different ways. My job where I sell plastic, customer service is vital and its what makes it a great place to shop,

today francesca is leaving, she is a friend of my sisters. I am going to miss her great italian cooking. It was the bomb.....

good night world. I have another day of work ahead of me. Enough of the mumbo Jumbo.
