Ok I guess its time to actually post some possible profound and enlightening.
this question has been on my mind lately as i deal with tons of people everyday that "have a huge problem" and this is an emergency" and i really really need to talk to him"
i talk to people everyday that have a situation to be solved with their kitchens or flooring or some sob story that i have to sit and listen through. I wish i was allowed to say sometimes "woodsman couseling service how can we screw up your day anymore than you are possiblly making it sound."
Why do people feel the need to have to sound so mad or so important when they call to get something done? Do you think if We prayed to God in a hurful mean tone that "we need a problem fixed or it has to be done by this date or I will sue you"
no.. you go to him with humility and and love and in the most silent reverent moments.
These builders that call everyday yelling and griping at me wouldnt get the cold shoulderfrom the people they are trying to contact if they were just to call and talk to us with a little respect. if we talk to God like he is someone just to get stuff done for us... i wonder what he thinks about that?
I make sure that everytime i answer the phone i have a sweet innocent tone so that my emotions arent hurt by someone who feels like they have the right to chew me out for no reason. I have been told my the meanest of guys that even our hardcore warehouse guys are afraid of that i am the highlight of their day and always look forward to hearing my voice on the other line... if there is always a constant bad attitude exchanged between each other you never have cooperation. If you have a gentle relationship with God and not talk to him like he has deadlines to be met and care about his feelings... hmmm makes you think huh?
One thing that i have gotten from thsi job over the summer... I will never work in the home building buisness... no one is ever happy nor satisfied. For my emotional health i want to be surrounded by people who have respect and dont treat you as if your a deadline or someone they can walk all over just to get things done for them.
10 more days... (no wait i have to listen to sob stories the rest of my life.. haha what am i complaing about this for...lol
