two faces, no wait three, a flower and yes, my ex-logic teacher had a bizzare nose

well I’ve had an odd day. very odd. It was one of those ‘two left feet-pulling when the sign says push-uh oh I just transferred $5000 from and to the wrong account’ days. Yep, I am definitely guilty of having little or no faith in people, of carrying grudges and making those annoying paper clip chains that everyone cusses about. I am the person that is too slow in the city but too fast in the country. I admit that sometimes I’m the person that farts in the supermarket. You know, THAT person. Not just two faces but three and there’s this clever little thing I can do with my mouth when I am faced with someone I cannot stand but pretend to like because they’re my boss, teacher, coworker, customer etc. I smile rather than shoving something large up their nose.
I had an awful, no-good, very bad, terrible incident with a customer yesterday. She withdrew money but after I sent the tube to her she had a COW, no wait, something larger, a TRUCK, a small YACHT. You get the picture. Apparently she received 90% of her money. So what, I thought. 90% is better than 40% (my wonderful disposition would make Mother Theresa proud). So, I ask my boss what I should do because I gave the lady a strap of the requested money. A strap is 100% accurate especially since I counted it twice in addition to its accuracy. My boss told me to count down my drawer. I did. I balanced. My boss told the lady that the money must have been dropped or something. The lady told her that she should check my pockets. She also asked for my name. I was mortified. I was wearing a low cut shirt and I started breaking out in hives (I do this when stressed and normally do not wear low cut shirts but my mom and grandma convinced me that I look beautiful in it). As we were closing the bank that evening another coworker of mine came waltzing in with a very muddy ten dollar bill. He found it when he was walking out to his car. I called the lady and told her that her money had been found and that I would deposit it immediately. I also apologized even though it wasn’t my fault. She said some very rude things over the phone which I will not disclose. I left work in a very crappy mood. WELL today she stopped by with a flower and a note apologizing for her rudeness. Because I do not get there until late afternoon I did not get to see her but I was completely shocked by her apology.
Also, we went offline today at work. I do not completely understand what this means but nothing was posted, we couldn’t close out properly and we had to wait around for an hour to see if we would go back online. We never did. It was a mess.
I have a political science test tomorrow. Shouldn’t be a big deal. As the two of you know I failed my logic test and ran crying to the bathroom. Why? Not because I failed the damn thing, but because I did not know who Robert DeNiro was and missed 2 valuable points because of it. It was injustice dressed in an ugly jacket with a reptilian nose. I do not know why I let other people get to me so much. But apparently it is quite obvious that there are others like me. The proof was in that little note I received today from yesterday’s unruly customer.
