Use your words......or at least most of them.

      As most of you all know me  you are very aware of my job... and the type of people I deal with day in and day out. ( this includes you guy's that are my fellow co-workers). Any how today at some point I had a "particular person" sit in my section and managed to entirely criticize everything that was wrong, but failed to explain what was the real problem. At some point I had a great vision, a vision you would see in ..I don't know Lizzy McGuire or something . I wanted to scream at the man and Shout out loud USE YOUR WORDS SIR, then slam his tortillas down on his table and run away and then be free with rainbows and butterflies.....but that was just a cute fantasy , and reality was " Sir what your saying is your food is cold , and you need it re-made. I can do that for you just give us 5 minutes and I'll have it out in a jiffy" Gosh I really wish I could have had that one moment of freedom of slapping a person , and reminding them that sometimes if you could politely talk and , then respond on what you are needing , I could get everything taken care of , and there would be peace in all the land. But no.......so as I ranted and raved over how this man talked to me ... then ranted and fired up more over more and more tables, not using the right words or tone for that matter to someone who handles their food.... what a Friday night!
      When I got home tonight, after having a crazy frenzy of energy that I guess like's to appear in and around the end of my 12 hour shift I sat down and opened my Facebook and caught up on the news. Read over some really sad and tragic event's and some event's that are worth rejoicing . I realized something about my whole "terrible" day....it really wan't all that terrible. As  much as I would like to complain about this and that , and all those silly what not's . In reality my small complains about how someone talk's to me or what tone of voice is used, is really something not to get  upset over. Yes; I don't like to be treated like I'm unworthy of your attention. Although let's take something from this experience, some people will give the advice of "just be rude back to them " this will bring you some sort of short term joy. But, what about taking that person's negative output and switching it to something positive. I can't say I do this with every situation , because sometimes it's OK to complain about something , it's in our human right to be able to vent our feelings. Nevertheless taking someone's harsh words or tone and turning them into something for the greater good and perhaps this is something we need to try more in our lives. This doesn't just apply to my job, but an everyday level. I guess what I'm really trying to get here is genuinely trying to be happy no matter what the outcome is maybe the key to personal happiness. As hard as this sounds , maybe this could be done. I guess for now on I'll USE MY WORDS more directly in the positive range so this way someone else could pick up this positive energy and continue to pass it along. Maybe you could do the same, and turn any negative energy into something that is more positive than it was before.
