Sometimes, I wonder why some of my friends and family just don't understand that I work for the Customer Service industry. I wonder why, that in the 11 years that I have worked for the gym or the food industry, they still can't grasp that Saturday and Sunday are not my weekend. Even my partner of 8 years seems to have a hard time grasping this concept. AND he met me AT THE GYM! WORKING!

It's very irritating to most of us who work in the Customer Service industry when people query us as to why we cannot hang out/do something/attend an event during their weekend. Maybe because I have to work and I don't really want to go out afterwards?!?!??! Maybe because I may be tired or wiped out or overstimulated? Maybe, just because.

Most of us in the Customer Service industry also hesitate from taking consecutive weekends off because it is not fair to the other people who have to work in our place. Think of it this way: what would your boss say if you took off the two busiest days in your industry, two weeks in a row. Yeah.

I asked a co-worker, who has been working for the company for 19 years, when the questions/moans & groans/assumptions will stop. She said that she is still waiting for that moment in time. Great. Later.  ¶ 11:06 PM
