Is it Friday yet???

I went to school for four years to become an elementary school teacher and what am I doing now.....Working at an insurance company. When I was five I wanted to be a scientist, when I was in middle school I wanted to be doctor, in highschool I wanted to be a nurse, I went to college to be a teacher, and now I sit at desk, get screamed at on a daily basis, and pay claims that probably shouldn't be paid, work like crazy all day to come home and think about work constantly....Wow...So much fun!

Today was a good example of why I sometimes want to come home, sit on the couch in my pjs and eat chocolate. I walked down my row of cubes and said good morning to the co-workers that sit close by me. I was very nicely ignored as I walked quickly past them to my desk. I sat down at my desk (I couldn't technically see my desk, but I knew it was there under the hundreds of papers and refrigerator parts that lay all over it) and put my purse in it's spot next to me in the extra chair in my cube. I glanced at my phone which had about 20 missed calls from the weekend, which translates into about the same number of angry consumer's on my voicemail. As I was turning on my computer I could hear the girl behind me talking about the birthday gift that her boyfriend had given her over the weekend. I slowly glanced over my shoulder and I saw a largest ring I had ever seen in my life on her finger shining under the fluorescent lights. Right then, I knew this day was going to be sooooo great.

After I was situated. My phone rang. A rep from downstairs was calling. He proceeded to tell me how my consumer was screaming at him telling him how I was the worst adjuster ever and how I never doing anything right. Needless to say, my supervisor got this call. My day pretty much continued like this. On a good note, the claim with the woman who called me a f'in moron the other day will hopefully be closed tomorrow:)

Work is not all bad. I really like the people that I work with and I am lucky that I can call a few of them friends. However, to top things off today...I had a tiny little mishap with a person that I don't quite call a friend, but she definitely disagrees. Sometimes, you just need the line between co-worker and friend. This person just does not understand this line. I honestly can't describe in a few words how difficult this person can be and would rather not go into any details, however, it definitely added to my Monday.

Well...At least tomorrow is Tuesday...Let's see what that brings shall we:)
