One On Anger

Defining anger is like trying to define love.  There are just so many ways.  Here is one for this moment.

Anger is a frustrated demand of unagreed conditions imposed upon others resulting in affliction and troubled difficulty and hardships. 

One Bad Apple

I noticed some extra charges on my account so I called customer service. For all these years I have only had good experiences with Wells Fargo. Today I was disappointed, maybe I was overdue for one after 19 years maybe I ran out such good thing. It took 4 customer service person, 3 calls, 2 very long holds, getting disconnected twice because I was on hold too long that I expired, it really was another way of getting hung up on except you are tortured with having to listen to bad music first, then finally they cut you off after you patiently wait your turn. The third person I was passed to was a rotten apple who really should not be in customer service. She really sounded like she did not need to hang on to her job in this bad economy. It is terrible for all these years I have defended Wells Fargo customer service while others complained about banking services in general, one rotten apple just ruins it all.

Some People Forgot the Cheer in Holiday Cheer

Tree and presents were up and done in Thanksgiving weekend. Christmas cards via post snail mail are all sent out. In the past week I made two rounds of 17 dozen cookies. I have my 3rd round tonight or tomorrow and the last will be next week. I am feeling a bit tired and under the weather to do the cookies tonight, so tomorrow then. I have a bit of cough. I could use a nap before badminton tonight.

I think there are lots of people who are stressed out everywhere. Driving becomes an issue, must spot out road rage drivers and avoid them. They are dangerous and scary!

I was at the post office today and wanted to let the elderly go first before me. I turned around to see who was in line, well, there were lots of elderly. I didn't know how to proceed, who do I pick, it was a long line half were elderly. So I let the postal workers take the initiative to do so and they didn't. It didn't work out as planned.

Some times

I went to visit someone going through rough times right now. I really didn't know what I could do to help her. I had many things in my mind in terms of ideas. But when I got there I realized some times the best thing you can do for someone going through traumatic rough times is... wash their dishes, clean their house, take out the trash, pour them a cup of tea, stock their fridge and be a good pleasant company. Don't tell that person what's wrong with them and how they need to fix it from my point of view. Some times, good company is all one needs to warm up the heart and the house that seems to be in the cold dark ages.
