#11 Just dump your shit on someone else

Did you even realize that it's December already? like really, i'm still standing by waiting for September. Fuck. Thats crazy shit. Anyway, so I really want to make more of an effort with my "what did i learn today" segment. Now i can't check where we left off, Eve doesn't give me that luxury...so we're just going to start with #11.

#11 What did I learn today?
I learned that...it is okay to dump your stress on other people. Now i'm not advocating this on a regular basis, but every once in a while it really is okay to share the stress. I'm not that kind of person, I will gladly take on more than I can handle, your stressors included. But when things are overwhelming and your boss asks how she can help--fucking tell her. There's no need to be coy and pretend you're Clark Kent. So I told her-- I hate working with improperly trained people, we need to get everyone on the same level to eliminate this sort of frustration. I hate customer complaints, because one of these days i will punch one of the complainants square in the fucking jaw. I hate being pulled in 70 directions,expected to be a hundred places at once, because there's only one me. Anyway, so after my bitchfest, she goes "okay, we'll fix it." just like that. So nonchalant. And i felt immediate relief, like taking a big shit after you've been holding it in all day. Wow. Sorry. No idea where that came from.

So there you have it. Share your stresses. Because usually something that seems so gigantic and frustrating, probably is not that bad. Sometimes all it takes is putting it out there.

Okay. I've done my good deed for the day, i've made the world a less stressful place. Fantastic.
