Is this The Real World Everyone Keeps Talking about?....It can’t Be!

Usually I am the calm, cool, and collected one. Nothing really bothers me to the point where I get upset; I can actually count on one hand the amount of times I have been extremely upset about something.


Many people would say It takes A LOT to get me mad, annoyed, or even agitated, I can sit in a waiting room for hours without thinking twice about the wait, delayed flights don’t bother me, and I rarely let the stupid things that people do and say on a daily basis get me genuinely upset. For the most part When everyone else is complaining, or fussing about something, more than often I am the one trying to find the good in the situation, or calm everyone down.


Welllll, today was not like a usual day, because for the first time in a really long time I got extremely upset, so upset that writing about it full detail will make me upset, so I’ll spare the details!


The short version is I had to go to the hospital (in Brooklyn..ugh!) to take care of some stuff. Simple stuff, I just had to fill out some paper work, and get a physical. I left my house EXTRA early so I could be in and out, and make it back to Long Island by 11am! My morning what supposed to be nice and simple, BUT by the time I left the hospital by blood was boiling!!!!!! If I had to spend one more minute talking to another incompetent, rude, and unprofessional person I would have spazzed out! If I was not in a rush to get to my third day of jury duty( that’s a another Blog!), I knowwww my morning would have been a little more painful.


After venting to my mother about how disgusted and upset I was about my long and crazy morning she laughed and said “Welcome to the Real World”; she then when on to give a long lecture about how people operate in the workplace, and blah, blah , blah.

I don’t know if it’s naïve for me to think that most of the world functions at more than a mediocre level. But, I refuse to accept or believe at this point that most people function like the people I came into contact with today, because if they did this world would be in big trouble!


I hope everyone reading this knows the difference between a zoo, and a work place!
