week from hell

So this has seriously been the week from hell for me!  Nothing has gone right at work.  Been yelled at by crazy customers for 3 hours strait who just could not figure out why her money was so spread out over the 5 accounts she had opened the month before, so she closed 2… our security guard was waiting for her to say something hostile, get violent, or use one of the code words we have on our list of words we are aloud to throw people out for using, btw that actually exsists so if you are thinking about using questionable language next time you are at the bank, make sure noone can hear when you do it cause you might get kicked out!  We have a rollover time of 2 oclock each day, which just means we go to the next business day at 2, so everything has to be balanced by then.  Yeah I was by myself that day, had 4 ATM’s to take care of, the vault and my drawer and nothing got done until 4:30, WHOOPS!  I had all sorts of people breathing down my neck that day and honestly pretty much wanted to punch everyone!  Got it all sorted out the next day though so everything is gravy there, finally! 

We all go through seasons where nothing goes right and we get overwhelmed.  Sometimes I don’t know how to respond.  I try to at least keep my cool outside cause inside I’m screaming at the top of my lungs ready to tackle the next person that comes in the door.  What does God show us in these moments?  How much we can handle?  How strong He has made us?  What does He show you?  What is He preparing us for by allowing things like that to happen or days like that to occur?  To be honest I’m not really sure but I know I’m interested enough to find out!  How about you?  How do you handle days like that?

  1. my week was hellish too. I was just getting ready to blog about it actually!

  3. Sucks you had a bad week, i remember you talking about it – I think the week ended up pretty rockin though! :)

    Ironically, I look at it from the opposite spectrum in terms of what is unveiled to us in these moments. I find humility there in that the person I want to scream at is very much likely going through a ton of crazy emotional tough and trying times RIGHT NOW, and I can ignore that and want to tackle them, or I can love them and help them through this tough time of their lives, even if it’s as small as opening the door for them.

    However, having worked retail i can imagine a bit how you felt toward that lady and I can’t say I don’t understand ;)
