Any chance of cheering me up this morning?

[InTheBleakMidwinterIWouldSing]

My day has got off to a really bad start thanks to a delivery mix-up and horrible customer service experience on the phone. Completely trivial stuff but I wasn’t expecting it and I’m sat here in tears wondering how to salvage my plans for the day.

Please remind me that the customer service man probably has his own issues!! I’m bewildered after an unpleasant exchange.

All is not lost! The man was probably having a rubbish day.

Why don't you make yourself a cuppa and re-group for the day.

What have you got on?

If all else fails, here's a daft joke that's been making me laugh lately:

Barman: "I've just thrown the guy who plays that Bond villain out of my pub!"
Me: "Javier Bardem?"
Barman: "No, he can come back tomorrow when he sobers up."

You've answered your own question. His attitude/words had nothing to do with you. Take a deep breath. Don't let it get to you.
Maybe internally wish that his day improves and he overcomes whatever obstacles he's facing in his life. I do this after unpleasant encounters and somehow that shift of focus makes me feel better.
I'm sure your day will improve! X

If it helps here's my fat cat creating a cat room in dds new doll house.

When it appears to be something fairly trivial in the grand scale of things it might be worth looking back to see if there is an episode in your past when someone else treated you like that.
We are such complex individuals and our memories are just rammed into our brains any old how.
If it reminds you of another occasion that feels like unfinished business it might help you to heal it, or it might be a bigger area that needs more work to be done.

The good thing is you can approach this from an adult position of strength instead of a position of powerlessness and weakness.

Hope that helps.

Not sure if it posted first time

He maybe had been up all night with a fractious baby AND had toothache, and is sitting at work feeling bad for having taken it out on you.

I offer you this photo of a puppy laughing to make you feel better

I can't tell you how much these comments have cheered me up.

@Dowser you are spot on, I know that there's an enormous amount of stuff for me to work through but I'm just not quite sure where to start at the moment.

The missed delivery was partly (only very very slightly) my fault - story is far too boring to repeat here - and we went through all this stuff and I was pretty upset. Then it all calmed down again and I gave him my order number. He repeated it a few times as he typed it in. Then he said, "I do just have to repeat to you that it's your responsibility to [blah blah]."

I couldn't believe it. I said, let me get this straight, you had a client here in tears and she's now calm again and you want to start it all up again?"

He put me on hold!

Love the jokes and the photos

My rabbit hiding from the camera 😆💕 I hope your day gets better x

If it makes you feel any better, I launched into an absolute tirade at the poor man at the end of the phone for Dorothy Perkins when my order got messed up. It wasn't even their fault, it was Yodel who couldn't find my new house.

It was absolutely ridiculous, it was only a fucking dress at the end of the day. There has been a huge back story about moving into this house in the first place (ie I didn't want to), why I needed a new dress in the first place (eating my emotions and got fat) and my Christmas is just going from bad to worse with a terminally ill relative. I thought I'd been really good at keeping it all together, but when my dress for the Christmas party didn't turn up on time, that was the final straw that broke me!

If there is other stuff going on OP, focus on the real reason why you're upset. Deal with it.

Just got a notice of overpaid tax credits for 2017 (am not in the UK in case that sounds bizarre to some of you) saying I owe 1000 euros. Jeeez. I always keep on top of my taxes so that'll be XH catching up on his I suppose.

What a day
