I'm currently at work, I had a fairly crap nights sleep, the dog pissed on the floor, shower was cold, I think I put my foot in it with my ex who remains a good friend while trying to cheer her up and the milk is off at work so no tea or coffee for me.
All in all you could say that I'm having a crappy time of it today but part of me says "Look Nathan, get a grip, these are First World Problems!" ... yeah, I know kids are starving around the world, I know that Americans are exceptionally fat too, but that's not my problem, this is.
Then I get a nice work announcement, "...as the business has been struggling across the estate, we will be stopping managing pay for the hours that you manage the shop and not the Manager or Deputy. To soften the blow and balance this out however, we will be giving you a 2% pay rise"...oh how fucking generous of you!!! You are taking £90-£100 a month off me and replacing it with around £16 a month...aren't I just fucking grateful! ... but no worries... its ok, let's not lose our temper over this, its just business...they *SHOULD* be selling/closing the parts of the business that are losing them money (our part is in profit) but instead they shaft the staff, its just business.
...I'm managing to contain my temper, I'm a fairly relaxed guy, I try not to lose my top, I don't fight etc...and then the one customer I hate the most walks in, looking like a beardy waxed jacket borderline paedophile, "Cuntface" as he will now be known, proceeds with his usual Mugtastic behaviour...somehow I've not told him to fuck off yet, I'm not sure how to be honest.
I'm sure lots of us have days like this, the big question is, though, will penting up this anger/lack of tolerance towards idiots cause me some sort of long term health issue or can I punch Cuntface and say it was for the good of my health??
One thing is for sure, if I'm ever Prime Minister then punching annoying people in the face is being made legal!
