Hell is my motel

[bhskittykatt]

So in addition to the Ultimate Customer from Hell rearing his ugly head, in the past 24-hours we've had:

(1) A rather heated domestic dispute where police were called.
(2) An attempted suicide where an ambulance was called.

What...the...f***??? Why are all these people descending upon me at the same time???

This is one of the most messed up weekends ever...

[Victory Sabre]

'Tis the season.


Sorry you had to deal with all that BS during your shift.

[Kristev]

Christmastime. It's always bringing something wicked with it.

[Andara Bledin]

Winter and holidays. A potent and dangerous combination.

^-.-^

[PepperElf]

cos dramarama doesn't take the holiday off...

[XCashier]

Seasonal Affective Disorder would be my guess.

I'm sorry this happened to you. Please, everybody, take care of yourselves this season.

[geek007]

I'm sorry that this is happening,

I guess the holidays seem to bring out the worst in people, and I agree with Xcashier, S.A.D can be issue with some people this time of year.

[Andara Bledin]

Seasonal Affective Disorder would be my guess.

Most likely. And, not only do we not have long enough days, but with the return to standard time, daytime workers end up getting no sunlight at all, which I think makes things ever more pronounced.

Yeah. I'm sitting at my computer right now, the room is freezing, and I don't care because the sun is actually out and glaring off the remnants of this week's snowstorm and it's making me feel marginally better in spite of this horrible cold I've got. I can't feel my fingers but I can see blue sky.

I only see blue sky on the weekends now unless I actually step outside the building at lunch. I leave home and get to work long before it gets light at this latitude, and when I leave work at 5pm the sun is long gone and the stars are out. When it isn't raining, that is, which it has been doing a lot of lately. I have been irritable and a complete bear to live with lately, for which the Hubster has already received many apologies, but it's like everything ticks me off no matter how insignificant it is.

I hate winter.

One indoor gardening place I used to deliver to had a sunlight light placed at his door. He offered it to anyone who needed to come in and get some light.

Always made me feel so much better.

I agree on the SAD, I use my aerogardens as bedside lamps .. they pop on at 5 am and get me up, and they shut down when it is bedtime =)

I loved it when I worked overnights, I could actually manage to gt some real sunlight ... I wish they would just do what Arizona des and have no savings time shite

[Sapphire Silk]

My department got moved into a new building 18 months ago. It's got big windows, and my office gets LOADS of natural light. Far, far better than the windowless cave I had as an office the first four years I taught here.

I'm not too fond of winter myself.

That's a really neat idea, and very good of him.

Winter does tend to drag on, especially in cooler climates. Funny, we moved here to get away from the boiling Phoenix summers, now we've got long, cold, wet winters! Ah well, no place has perfect weather year-round; just got to take care of yourself (vitamin D is supposed to be very helpful). And if you do start to feel depressed, please, seek help.

[zombiequeen]

I sit right by my lizard's cage, where her day-spectrum lamp is. Helps me out a lot to feel better and less depressed. Still though, I'm trying to convince hubby to go for a walk with me so we can get some sun and exercise.

[Antisocial_Worker]

Welcome, sister... We've been expecting you.

From time to time at the motel where I used to work we'd get these weird "conjunctions" where the shit and the fan would become the best of friends repeatedly in a very short period of time.

I've managed to block most of those occurrences from my mind, but I do recall that one such weekend from hell was capped most sublimely by a direct lightning strike on the building that fried half the circuits in the lobby and our biggest, most expensive suite.
