Wow, I just had the most infuriating moment at work... even worse than the phone calls I get or people that don't follow directions that I have told them time and time again and still won't do it correctly.
We have program here at work where kids are being dropped off for the day. We have two entrances. One is on the North side of the building, the other one on the East. The kids are suppose to be dropped of on the East side, since we have card access in the entire building and will get caught between the 2 levels of the building in the stairwell. So the mom buzzes in and tell me I have to let her in now, on the North side door. I start to explain to please go around the other side, and she starts saying she can't, she's running late to work. Her fault, not mines... But I let her in. And I proceed to tell her that she can go downstairs and keep knocking the door since I have to stay at my desk and can't help her out at the moment. She proceeds to tell me, " So you can get up from your desk to yell at me but you can't help me out?" GRRRR... Are you kidding me? I wasn't yelling... No way in hell would I yell at a parent or even at work... And I'm a recepionist. I can't move from my desk. Anyways, I was able to catch one of the program managers to watch the desk and I was able to leave my desk and go open the door for her.
I don't know how else I would have been able to do it different, I guess a bit nicer about it all but there's only so much paitence in me in the morning for stuff like that. Anyways, that's my vent for the day.
