I was not even patient today...I work at a hotel and this lady came in to get a room and was smaking her gum and it was just getting on my LAST NERVE...my blood was boiling inside so i finally gave her a tissue to spit the gum out and she said No thank you...whaattt i was like well STOP SMAKIN IT PLEASE!!! Plus on my way to work I had some serious road rage going on because everyone drives like they have no where to go and dont even use blinkers...just cut right in front of you...so today..was NOT a good day...hopefully tomorrow will be better...Thinking Positive!:)

Ugh! I feel you on the gum smackers. There's a special place in hell for them. (I'm joking - or am I?)
By Trixiegrrr on October 25, 2009 at 10:44 AM
lol it was awesome that you gave her the tissue to spit it out! Did you really ask her to quit smacking her gum? I bet she didn't even realize how rude she was being.
I'm sorry you had such a frustrating day.

I am really trying. I'm just so exhausted and some people are just soooo stupid. I think I am doing a good job of covering it up.

today is an annoying day. everyone is on my nerves, so I have no patience today.

I was patient yesterday. I was extremely tired having the dog wake me up at 3am and couldnt go back to sleep. I lasted the whole day, worked out, helped my 5 year old with his homework and even cooked dinner. There were times that I wanted to flare up but I was able to keep my calm. Today I feel good, and I have remained positive and keep smiling to try and keep me from losing my cool.

I've had little patient at work the past few days.
By BloatedBetty on October 19, 2009 at 09:52 AM
I have been so far, my son comes home tonight and that is the true test. A 5 year old that cannot control himself. Me and a less then average co-worker are the only one's here today, I will try and not do all the work so that it is an even share. Less stress for me right! We shall see.

Today is my first day just starting in the afternoon. I am scrambling to get my house ready for a childs birthday party for 50 or so guests. Since I work full time, I have limited time in the evening to do this, especially with taking my son to hockey 4 nights a week, and a daughter who takes Tennis lessons. My main goal is to be a lot more patient with my children while Im trying to do all the mommy things I need to do, and stop getting so frustrated with them for just needing me to be a good mom.

So far so good.

Haven't been 'challenged' yet, but am anticipating a few of them this trip. I have until Dec. 4th to work on it. It's when I return home to my family that I will have to be dilligent and considerate. Truly a hill for me, but like they say, "No hill too high for a high stepper!"
By melmax on October 6, 2009 at 06:29 PM
I didn't get snappy with anyone about anything.
By gayle0478 on October 6, 2009 at 10:45 AM
I have been patient, however there have not been many opportunities to test my progress today.
By melmax on September 30, 2009 at 12:52 PM
I have been very patient today. I supported a family at a graveside service by singing, hugging, and just trying to bear up under the pressure of loss.
By Serpy on September 25, 2009 at 11:50 AM
*gritting teeth* (no just kidding, lol) I'm doing ok today. No blow ups, so yeah it's a good day.
By Serpy on September 23, 2009 at 09:47 AM
Trying today to keep that as my mantra "patience, patience". So far so good.
By Anonymous on September 21, 2009 at 07:29 PM
I didn't yell at anyone...only got frustrated at one student. That's HUGE!
By Serpy on September 21, 2009 at 12:05 PM
Oh it is so hard especially in dealing with some of the clients on my job. Woooo, so I just exhale after dealing with them and try to keep it moving.
