Exhaling...

Well, today was probably the most frustrating day I've had at Wal-Mart. But I'm happy to report that I've gotten through it with most of my sanity in tact. I couldn't have done it without my dear husband. I came home for lunch and he let me sob and cry until before I knew it he was making me laugh again.

Things at work are just crazy right now. We are remodeling so departments are scattered at random places around the store. Everyday I walk in and the store looks completely different. So of course, most costumers are confused and a bit agitated. I get a lot of eye rolls and very few "thank you's," but I can deal with that. What really bugs me are the temp hires, the people in charge of the remodel. They have always annoyed me but today I actually had to work with them.

My area was moving, and because I have a shoulder injury, I have to do things a certain way so I don't hurt it worse and Wal-Mart doesn't get sued. I suppose these remodel people deemed my way too slow and started taking over. I won't go into it, but no one at the store has been more rude to me on so many occasions in just one day. And been so childish about it, although it doesn't surprise me, seeing that they are probably all college students or recent high school grads. I hate teenagers. Even when I was one.

And of course, when I stand up for myself, I'm the one who ends up looking like the cat strangler.

But Matty makes it all better. I'm so lucky to be with someone who understands me, but doesn't take my side just because we are married, and he has too. I'm so glad we laugh at the same things, because lately I haven't been laughed with often.

Tonight he gets off at 9:30, so we won't have much time together, but we are planning a romantic evening of Chinese take-out and Netflix, before I have to go to bed early to go back to Wal-Mart in the morning.
