today is trying to kick my ass

on the way to work this morning, i was changing trains at central. as i do pretty much every day. and every day the trains are packed because people are only going one stop and stand right in the door way so they can make a hasty exit at town all. i was standing at the door, checking if there was enough room for me to get on, when the guard's whistle blew signaling that the train was about to depart.

all of a sudden this guy came up from behind me and pushed me in the back. this action caused me to stumble onto the train and cause a cascade effect of falling people. but it also meant that it created room for him on the train.

i was too busy regaining my footing to turn around and abuse him. but as i took my earphone out of my ear to say something to him, i heard a guy say "what kind of low life scum are you to push a woman?" the creep had no response. instead he turned with his back to us and didn't look at a single person for the rest of the trip to town hall. some people are like that.

then at work, because i'm the new kid people are trying to take advantage of me. of our customer base, there's about 20 people who call regularly, like multiple times a day. some of them are trying to see if they can slide things past me that the other guys would knock back. i'm starting to learn to watch out for those ones. but even worse, a few are blaming me when the others tell them they've done something wrong saying "but mel said i could do it like that." even though i've never spoken to them.

also, we take calls for another department because apparently they are too lazy to answer the phone themselves. they are also apparently really crap at their jobs, because we get several people a day yelling at us because we can't answer their questions just offer a call back that never happens.

and there is a ladder in my stockings. and the same thing happened yesterday.

however, apart from the things mentioned above, i am enjoying newjob.

i keep having dreams where i am yelling at people. people who piss me off in real life, like my grandmother or my evil neighbour, or one of my friends who is just the narcissistic person i have ever met. i frequently have dreams where i'm screaming "not everything is about you" at him. it's surprisingly cathartic.
