Decisions Decisions…
You know, being grown up is kinda tough. At times I really wish that I could go back to playing with barbies and stuff. That was just so much less complicated, and things seemed so much simpler. I was sure of what was right and wrong. What I should do. What was expected of me.
But these days things are just a bit cloudy. I’m OK with the new job. Its a very different environment from what I’m used to, but the people are kind. The work self is not ideal.
I realized that I’m just not someone who enjoys working with clients all day. I have dealt with clients before, but mostly on e-mail. Conversing with clients over the phone though, is a whole different story. Explaining to them why certain rules are there, and how I cannot bend the rules for them. Apologizing for other people’s mistakes, and cleaning up the mess.
I do have another opportunity which I’m thinking about. Its the same as I’ve done previously, and I know some of the people who work there. Its ideal, just far from home. So I’m a bit torn.
I’m sorry for neglecting this blog. I will again get myself into the habit of writig regularly. For now I have to get busy with some work. I accepted an odd filing job before I knew that I had work, and now I have to juggle both. *sigh*… I’m just sooo tired!!!

Working with clients over the phone isn’t exactly as easy as most people think. It really takes effort to talk to people and have them believe your voice that you’re not just trying to get them off the phone. Tone speaks volumes when it comes to telephone conversations.
I understand about the work being so far away factor. When I lived in Los Angeles, I had to drive up to 3 hours to get to work. And that was one way. I spent a lot of time in the car in those days.
Hard work, my friend. Take care and be well.
