And one more for today
Since customers come and go, and even Rude Queen-Mum-Wannabes eventually have to leave, I have to say that customers aren't the most challenging part of my job.
Colleagues are. Because while customers leave, I see colleagues again. And some of them are (like people in every profession) tough to get along with.
And so, here's some advice for all of you:
Once you're 26 and none of us are in highschool anymore, then please stop acting like you're still the queen of the cliques. You're not. Don't get offended when your quest for power diminishes into blatant manipulation, yet you can't get under my skin.
(Because I've had other jobs than this one. I've had some truly frightening and intimidating colleagues, bosses, and clients. In comparison, your little sneakiness and pettiness is nothing. Think your little scare tactics can get to me? Try sitting through parent conference after parent conference, patiently explaining to hostile parents that Little Susie isn't passing my class because she's a lazy lying sneak when I'm barely 10 years older than Little Susie herself? Hah! Then you learn where Little Susie learned her lazy lying sneakiness! Double hah. You've got another think coming!)
