One of those days

I enjoy experiences that could make for an interesting story. Today was just "one of those days" that wasn't terribly bad or anything, but most of my little stories from today make it sound bad. It wasn't. It was just one of those days.
1. This morning I locked myself out of my Nana's house and had to play hide and go seek with the spare key. She moves its hiding spot regularly, so this was quite the chore. Long story short, I had to fight through a thorn bush, an army of fire ants and a lizard (which left its wriggling tail behind)
2. A woman called me at the pharmacy asking if he had any Phenergan with Codine. You can buy Phenergan without the Codine, but druggies have somehow found a way to make the codine into some kind of recreational drug. We hadn't been able to supply it for a few months so I was shocked to find that we did in fact have it. But then we couldn't fill it because of who her Dr. is. It's not that her doctor isn't legit, but he specializes in control meds and the DEA just wont let us fill for his practice. Well I informed her of this only to be met with the words "You. Are. Lying." She basically went off on me telling me how legit her doctor is. All I could say was that "No I'm not. I'm sure your doctor is great, but we just can't fill his prescriptions." "If you don't want to fill for me, just say it. Don't lie to me." Click. Really? Are you really going to just call me a liar? Are you five? It was just comical because I was the kind of kid who, when asked if I had brushed my teeth, I lied and said yes, but couldn't fall asleep before confessing the whole thing to my mom and finally brushing my teeth. I seriously can't lie. So her blunt accusation was... ridiculous.
3. At the restaurant I was working the drive through window and this woman ordered a plate lunch and then one little 99cent cup of green beans and the same size cup (free) of BBQ sauce. Well I got distracted and forgot all about the green beans and the BBQ sauce and when I handed it to the lady she basically freaked out so I apologized and went to get the rest of the stuff but then I realized I didn't ring out the beans with the order so I apologized again and told her what had happened. I haven't really been in a situation like this so I just went with the side of me that asked her to pay the 1.07 that I initially forgot to charge her. She went on and on about how it was all my fault and how I shouldn't charge her. Of course once she said it out loud I realized she was right, but it didn't make her tone or her words any less hurtful. And I think that perhaps when I realize how wrong I am, that is maybe when I am the loneliest. Because at that point its like I don't even have an advocate in myself. So that part really sucked but at the same time it was way good.
There is something exhilarating about rising above the initial instinct to let anger or sadness dominate my actions. That lady was ticked at me and I used my agency to enjoy the moment and wish her a good evening. By "enjoy" the moment, I mean I was way excited to have something relatively interesting to blog about later. See, there is something positive in just about every moment ;-) I could have let those crappy moments ruin my day... but they didn't. My day was pretty darn good. But the good parts aren't really interesting enough to highlight. Best part of my day: going to institute and playing tennis after. Woot woot.
