This week I am trying something new with the chart. Tell me what you think!

My nasty caller for the day on Friday (Fridays are always
wonky, and some days like today try your patience) brought to light two things. First, a realization of how much my “stable” job hangs in the balance easily tipped by some rando
caller who decides to complain. Some people I work with are really good at
shifting the blame to the caller and the caller's personal problems, but I take the
complaints personally. It’s not the
first time, but it just makes me wonder. Which rando at the top of the food chain will be the one that leads to me losing my job. It's happened to others in my line of work.
Financially, I might be ok for awhile, but
psychologically, I would not be okay. This happened at least 8 hours ago, and still I feel uneasy and anxious. I have some PTSD from the way I've been treated in NC and this recalls some of those hidden memories. If that lady only knew how much that discord has impacted me already. That feeling of always knowing something
random can change the course of your life is a lingering one. Something that may not have occurred
the day before, just yesterday may now have such a profound impact on my tomorrows.
Another thing I realized is how much I've come to lean on this blog. I use this blog to
express myself in a raw, unedited way - not there now, but getting there. This realization also makes me wonder if I’d ever be able to truly monetize this blog if it meant catering to
yet another customer base.

Love the chart! But what does "BM this morning" mean? It's probably really obvious but am tired and brain refusing to work it out:-(
ReplyDeleteSorry you had a nasty caller. In my previous dept my role was often that of stepping in and dealing with the nasty ones if they started on my staff. Massive adrenaline rush once all over. As much as I may have appeared calm and managed to deal with nastiness, always felt shaky afterwards and definitely takes time to get over. And I don't have anything in my background that makes these encounters more painful. Feel for you. Remember they are the ones with the problem and what goes around, comes around.
Tuppenny! yay, it's you. BM is bowel movement, #2, you know i struggle with the constipation. sigh. this is 30s (at least for me).
DeleteYes nasty callers make me question everything about life :/
Still difficult to get over...if ever. I'm so glad you stopped by today!!
Hmmmm.... BM issues and a cereal diet?! Can't be connected can they??? Maybe an increase in fibre in your diet (aka that rotting fruit and those lovely recipes) might help? Although I appreciate I am not a doctor and cannot diagnose from over the pond!
DeleteYou're definitely right. I just don't like eating that stuff. My diet is a work in progress. Any time I'm not eating just chips and cookies is a win for me!
DeleteSomeone once told me cookies had plenty of your 'five a day' in them. Wheat = 1. Chocolate comes from the coca bean = 2. Sugar is from sugar cane = 3. If it had raisins as well = 4. Butter = came from a cow that ate grass = 5. So, there you go you are eating your five a day!! And most chips are from potato. You just need some greeeens for fibre!
DeleteHahah! You're bad :)
