I'm going through early menopause becuase of my hysterectomy and I just can not deal. Its hitting hard today. God bless america! I help people find jobs and sign up for work training programs and the people that have been walking in today are ticking Ticked off, Off!. Its so loud and nosey. guys coming in with thier boxers showing holding up the front of their pants. Girls coming in with.... well if you could call what their wearing clothes. Job seeking tip number one: Dress for success!. I had to kick out a couple early for hardcore making out in the front of the building. DH came by to drop off my little fan because the heat is on in here and I keep getting the sweats. Some young girl almost lost a tooth winking at my DH and asking if he is single. I was like " Excuse me little girl he is married!". DH had to usher me into the office before I made an ass of myself. I felt like everyone was talking at once and I was getting dizzy. This woman came into my office and laid an egg meaning she just sat her happy butt down and let out some loud chair vibrating farts. She says " excuse me , hey better in than out". deep breaths tick deep breaths this is work put on a smile and keep it going. Luckly my boss took pitty on me noticing I was just not myself an let me off the hook for the day.

I can not stand people!

Hang in there girl. Working with the public definitely sucks at times, even when we're feeling 100%.

I once had a lady (dressed very well, I might add) clip her nails while talking to me about her bill. Seriously?!? Little nail particles flying all over, hitting my keyboard. Luckily a coworker realized I was about to blow and escorted me away lol.

Ticked,

I hold the record for shortest interviewing process in the company. We needed a new receptionist and I got stuck interviewing.

First three I refused to talk to (thou shall not show up in jeans, or flip flops, or a skirt so short that IF you sat for me to interview you, I'd be seeing bush.

Second batch never made it through the door, rejected from their resumes/ applications. Once guy misspelled his NAME: unless of course Smith is suddenly spelled Smtih

We had a 50 year old guy show up, (way over qualified) had been laid off for two years, desperate for a job.

Dress pants, shirt, TIE, socks and dress shoes.
Hired him on the spot.

I can teach ANYONE how to answer a phone, file, etc. But you just can't teach self respect to morons.

I'm on a combi hormone patch. It has saved my life...and perhaps others as well :). My co-worker and I are both on the patch. Now when someone gets excited or a little annoyed around here...we say 'you know there's a patch for that'.

I totally believe that menopause should be a viable defense for many crimes.
