I know I'm always complaining about my job, but this week has been extra bad, I swear. Ever second person I talk to either doesn't understand what I'm saying, either the terminology, or the words exactly. I'll say "D as in Dog" and they'll say "What? C? " ... or I will give them part of an instruction, and they will say "wait a minute, wait a minute", and they will write it down, then by the time we finish that set of instructions they've got it so $#*@ing confused they don't know what they're doing. And we start over again.
I have to learn how to relax again, somehow a couple months ago I could sit while someone spoke like they only completed grade 6 english, and calmly help them with their inane problems. Now I'm ready to jump through the phone and strangle them, or rip out their heart and feed it to my dog.
