Lost Cause

Just a quick note before I go back into work - people in general suck. I've been thinking about this for a little while, and this is my conclusion. I'd like to be a glass is half full kind of girl, but day in and day out, people pretty much suck.
I only say this because I'm lucky to have exceptions float in and out of my life. Yesterday was a real downer of a day. At the end, I had this woman pretty much tell me that because I'm single I don't know how to deal with customers, especially men. There is a whole back story here, but the gist of it, I'm not feminine enough, in her opinion. Her rant ate at me for a few hours last night, and then one of my co-workers called me. I didn't catch the phone in time, but the message he left made me smile. He was going on about how he'd heard I was too manish, and if I was going to finally try and be feminine, to keep in mind the skirt I wore was in code. I laughed for ten minutes.
When sucky people are the rule, it is the exceptions that will always come up and surprise you.
I had no idea I was that lucky.

Yeah, most people do suck. But finding the ones that suck well, ah....that's the real trick.
