Work is Fun

So, my job is.... well, difficult at times.  I work with difficult people that often find themselves in difficult situations.  I often believe that if all my clients like me all of the time, I'm not doing my job right.  I'm the one that's supposed to push them when they don't want to be pushed.  I'm the one that's supposed to point out that perhaps the decisions they're making aren't the best, and maybe, just maybe, they should consider some alternatives.  This doesn't always make me their most favorite person.

As a wonderful example of this, one of my client's has taken over as the President of my fan club.  Things aren't going .... well.  And apparently that is all my fault.  I also suck because I keep intervening in his poor decision making.  Because, ya know, I'd like him to be ok.  Or whatever.

I went over to his place unannounced to check on him.  When I arrived, he was on the phone, so I listened for a few minutes.  I was unsure who he was speaking to, but he was very obviously speaking about me.  My favorite gem from the conversation:

She is dumber than nails.

Well, there ya go.  I'm dumber than nails.

I love my job I love my job I love my job....
