Cleansing my Soul

I don't know who reads my blog, other than Jessie, but I will still let you know this post comes with a warning:

*****My blog is my place to vent, rant, and just let loose without judgment from anyone. I have not sinned, I am a thankful, blessed woman of God, but there are times when we just need to say what is on our minds....this is what this blog is about for me today.****

We can be just going along in life and reach a point where you are tired of always doing and saying the right thing; just tired of being nice to rude, belligerent people....TODAY IS ONE OF THOSE DAYS.

I don't want to be nice; I don't want to smile at mean people; I don't want to be calm and soothing on the phone. When people call and get ugly with me because I cannot accommodate them, I want to yell back, "It is not my fault you chose to ignore your teeth for 10 years then decided it was my problem because they are falling out of your head and I should make an appointment this afternoon and fix them immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!" No one wants to take responsibility for their bad choices or decisions. It is always someone else's fault. I don't want to hear complaints; everyone is having a hard time....that is what "difficult economic times" mean; it is not just you, it affects everyone.

I want to hit stupid (yes, I said "Stupid") people....I had a teacher, of all people, ask me if Room 274 was on the second floor----I wanted to say, "No, it is on the 74th floor, the 2nd room, that is why it is numbered like that." I am the frontline person on my job...I take pride in garnering information so that I can answer any question asked of me....SO I DON'T NEED SNOBBY TEACHERS COMING TO ME TALKING TO ME AS IF I AM A 1850'S BACKWOODS SLAVE FROM MISSISSIPPI JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A DENTAL EDUCATION AND I DON'T....I have an education, but I will never let people know exactly what I know....and I know a lot. I do a good job; I am not saying this being conceited....my boss tells me on a regular basis that I am doing a good job and I am irreplaceable....so get your nose out of the air, teach these kids like you are being paid to do, and get out of my face.

I cannot believe I am asked time and again, "Do you file charts by the first name or last name?". Go figure....kids are being graduated from high school and do not know their alphabet...yet they are in college, getting ready to go out into the real world and work on humans. I have met some 4 year olds that know their alphabet better than some students.

I am not finished ranting, but I feel better already....so with that said, "God forgive me for feeling this way...I know you know our hearts, and I want to have a pure heart, to treat people right and to be found worthy in your sight. Forgive me for having these feelings, and help me to let my light shine in the midst of the darkness I face daily. Lord I love you and praise your holy name." There, all done.
