Once, Twice, Three Times A Teller
So I'm hanging out in the drive-up at the moment covering for a teller who's taking her lunch. I've been doing a lot of teller work lately and boy, I've never missed dealing with the momos in customer service more. I'm not trying to bash tellers. On the contrary...I don't understand how the hell they do it day in and day out. There's the stress of knowing that you are responsible for thousands of dollars during the day. There's that constant fear of being over...or worse...short in your drawer. (I was $100 short last week and it was never recovered. Can pretty much kiss my promotion goodbye for awhile.) I consider myself a pretty intelligent human being...but when I'm a teller I feel like the biggest boob! I'm slow, I'm nervous, I make stupid mistakes. I just feel so out of my element. When I had that difference last week, I took it real hard.
Anyhoo, so I loathe it over here in tellerville, but we're short staffed and I'm trained, so I help out. I miss my CSR desk! So..the drive through is kinda dead at the moment (I think I just jinxed myself...it'll get real busy now, watch) so I figured I'd come and post. I'm going to the therapist tonight, so I doubt I'll get the time to post later.
To any of you who are wondering, yeah, I'm still in my dark, bad place. There are some extra things bugging me since my last post, but nothing I can go public with just yet. Maybe soon. I don't know. Things are so upside down right now I sometimes wonder if everything is just a dream. Maybe I've been sleeping and I'm not really 28, married with two kids, and all that. Maybe I'm still 16 and this has all been one long dream, spelling out the future for me. If I woke up tomorrow and that was the case, would I do things differently to prevent the mess that is my life? I doubt it. Having my kids is worth the mess I've created. If I hadn't dated that scumbag Chip I wouldn't have my daughter. If I hadn't gotten married when I did I wouldn't have my son. And if I didn't have my son I would have never met some of the great people I know now. Circumstances...everything happens for a reason...yada yada.
Ok, sorry for rambling. Ellie will be back from lunch soon enough, so I better jet for now. I'll try to post some more tomorrow. Till then....
