I'm having an "I am woman, hear me roar" kind of week. And I've gotta say, as much as it goes against my laid back nature, it's feeling pretty good. Monday morning, TCF Bank tossed me the straw that broke the camel's back. I went in to do our deposit and get change only to find that they don't have any quarters. Now, being a bank, one would assume they would have quarters. However, that's not even the worst part of this scenario. When I asked when they WOULD have quarters, the lady informed me that they wouldn't have any until Thursday.
Thursday. Yes, I said it.
THURSDAY. WHAT?!? You're a freaking BANK for god's sake. Do you not have other businesses that bank here? Do people not need quarters for laundry and tolls? And you're telling me like it's no big deal...NO BIG DEAL. Somebody should be getting FIRED for that crap! Sooooooo...anyway, I pretty much yelled all that right at the girl (with people in line behind me), because I've had more than enough TCF ridiculousness for a lifetime. Anyone that knows me knows it takes a lot to get me mad enough to yell...like...seriously mad. You've
really got to be trying. And once you get me mad, I'm even more mad that you had the nerve to go there. So anyway, after storming out, I proceeded to plead my case to home office yet again, where I finally started getting some traction...and then I called and yelled at the bank some more till they gave me the regional manager's phone number. (All of this EXTREMELY unlike me.) And then I called and yelled at him too. Sooooo...yeah...all that yelling that is very un-Megan-like turned out to be a great stress reliever. It was like I just flipped off every jerk tailgating me for the last six months in one fell swoop. And THEN, I came home and quit my part-time grading job. Woot! Between being short-staffed at work, me being sick, Millie being sick, etc., etc. the extra 20 hours a week of grading was almost killing me. But I felt like I had made a commitment and I should stick to it. But after my little outburst at the bank, I decided it was time to just think about what I WANT for a little while instead of what I SHOULD do, or what other people want me to do (also, very unlike me). So I quit! And I feel better already...no more crushing guilt over not spending every waking minute that I'm not already at my full-time job, working at my part-time job. So following all that madness, I spent a lovely day today...slept in, got a massage, went shopping, cleaned my apartment spotless, cooked some meals, and did some crafting (forgot to take a pic before it made it into the envelope though...brain fart!). All guilt-free...what a lovely concept...spending my one day a week off of work actually NOT WORKING. Who knew it could be so liberating?!? *sigh* So here's to taking care of business, blowing off some steam, taking some time for me and getting in some well-deserved relaxation time. Back to work tomorrow! Goodnight! :)
