Work - Do or Die?

I'm not feeling very happy now. In fact I'm feeling rather tired. Rather pissed. Very irritated. And my whole freaking body is aching. Then I wonder why am I feeling so "out" and it all boils down to a mail I just received. It's a "love letter" from a client. Not so much full of loving words I would say. More like words with nouns like "you must", "I expect you", "give it to me ASAP". All very self-centred words I would say. Usually I would just take this mail and meekly accept it's demand and fulfill its commandments, but today I'm really tired. I just finished a meeting with another customer that ran on and on for almost 10 hours, and then I come home to find this demanding mail. So I cracked. I lost my cool. I did what a customer-oriented personnel should never do - I told the guy to f**k off. *Gasp*

OK...I fantasised that I could tell the customer to go blow his own dick, but I am such a politically correct person most of the time that sometimes I really hate it. So anyway today I just told this nice email writer that I really don't think his demands are logical or fair to me, and that he should really consider getting his head examined if he expected me to do all he asked for free. Just not his luck to catch me on a day when I am having PMS. Yeah...we girls can always blame it on the PMS. "Ooops, sorry, was I rude that day to you? It must have been my PMS" :)
And all will be forgiven......

I know customers always think they are right. When I am a customer I think I am always right too. If I paid for it, you are my slave and you do what I ask you to do. BUT since I always seem to be getting shitty services anyway, guess it's only fair that I provide some shitty services too. I know I know, this should not be the culture. I always try to remind myself that EMOTIONS SHOULD NEVER LEAD BUT FOLLOW INSTEAD. But it sure is tough to follow that rule. Especially when everyone seems to be out to irritate me :( Maybe it's just all in my mind, or maybe my customers should get a day in my shoes for once to know what's it like to feel sooooo trapped within, sooooooo suffocated, soooooooooooooo wanting to escape to a nice island. I pray for release from this cruel world. DO YOU HEAR ME LORD?!! Let me go please .......
