I don't work currently. But I keep myself out of retail situations. It's also good if I don't have to talk on the phone a lot.

I GOT YELLED AT BY A CUSTOMER YESTERDAY SAYING I WAS MOVING "TOO SLOW" BECAUSE MY ARM IS IN A SLING. SHE'S ALL "EXCUSE YOU. I HAVE KIDS TO GET TO SCHOOL AND I'M LATE!" MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T STOP FOR YOUR FUCKING 3,000 CALORIE LATTE THEN, BITCH.
OH AND A GIRL WAS LIKE "WHY DIDN'T THEY GIVE YOU TIME OFF BECAUSE YOUR ARM IS ALL FUCKED UP?!" AND I'M ALL "LOL BECAUSE MY BILLS WON'T TAKE TIME OFF BECAUSE MY ARM IS ALL FUCKED UP. DUMMY!"

Well, my coworkers are pretty awesome. Some of the customers are not, but mostly I find them to be pretty good, too. Maybe because they're almost all in 5th grade or younger.

I telecommute when I'm in a bad mood. That's not foolproof, because it's still possible to blow out a CRT monitor, possibly even catastrophically, by rapidly changing the video mode at frequencies harmonic with the magnets. This is certainly difficult to do remotely, but not impossible. Now that we've switched over to LCD monitors, it's pretty much impossible for me to spray anyone with glass over the internet, not that it was very likely before.

it's difficult
there is so much drama/politics/b.s. in my office, and we're a relatively small office (12 or 13 people - depending on if one person is getting canned soon as i'd been told they were).
i've found myself in the middle of much of it lately, and helping to manage/crisis-council various people's egos and personal beefs.
it gets old. quickly.

I stopped eating my lunch in the faculty room. All the men talk about sports and all the women talk about American Idol and other fascinating television programs.
I'M HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME RESTRAINING MYSELF.
