I can relate. I have worked in customer service my entire life. It drains you of all being.

I started working in dealerships at the age of 18. I learned very quickly and moved up the ladder to service manager after several years. Now being a service manager at a dealership is one of the most stressful jobs out there. Not only are you trying to please your boss, the customers, technicians, office staff, parts department and corporate..... you have to do it all with a *smile*.

Waking up at 5:30 to get to work by 7, dealing with the public who are already ticked that they have to be there, yelling and screaming at you on a daily basis because some other dealership messed up their vehicle, etc.... Trust me, this type of abuse takes it's toll.

After being out of work for 2 years I got a call the other day. I have been offered a temporary position working as a service writer for about a month. I can't do it. Just the idea gives me anxiety. The thought of going back and standing on the other side of the counter from the public makes me literally ill.
