One of my New Year’s resolutions is to show compassion towards others, and it’s proving to be a difficult task. I think part of it is that I deal with people on a regular basis and I frequently see them at their worst— they’re sick or in pain, or they’re caring for a family member who is sick or in pain. I try to recognize that. I also recognize that the average layperson has no idea how things work in my line of work, which is retail pharmacy. They only know they need their meds. I try to recognize that too. But for ****’s sake, people can be so stupid, rude, ignorant, and inconsiderate. And unfortunately, I work in a setting where I’m typically seen as a peon, not a person (retail, in other words). I’m just very burnt out and tired from everything. It’s not just work either— people being stupid, rude, ignorant, or inconsiderate in my personal life bothers me too. All i know is that when I make a conscientious effort to be considerate to someone, I expect the same in return. On Meetup I was scheduled to go snowshoeing on Saturday the 28th and I was really excited about it; I wake up and find the organizer moved the event to Sunday the 29th. I work Sundays, so I had to change my RSVP. I asked her why she did that— she says she got availability for a Meetup event with Habitat for Humanity that Saturday so that’s why she moved the snowshoeing event. While i recognize what a great organization Habitat for Humanity is, that just angered the **** out of me because of how she had completely disregarded how it would affect my availability and probably other people’s too. I don’t know. I’m just really struggling with this. I realize that it’s probably not great for me to be constantly wanting to tear my hair out by people. But for crying out loud, I hate people.
