Hehehe (link via Rae, who lived through the very same hell as me)…
It’s no secret to anyone who knows me well that my many years dealing with the public shaped my personality in a very meaningful way. Believe it or not, there was a time when I actually liked people and had faith in humanity…
OK, maybe I’m overstating that a little, but I really was much less cynical before I started interacting with the public for pay. Even now, when I haven’t really waited on a customer in a retail business in about five years, I still can’t shake the notion that a high proportion of the people I’ll encounter in the course of an average day will be blathering idiots…
It’s depressing sometimes, especially since I’m usuallly right…
