It has been one of those days. Has something like this ever happened to you?
I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the rudeness of people. But I always am. When you work hard doing things, you expect people to respect your space, respect you.
But they don't.
Here is what happened to me.
Someone, I don't know who, walked by my desk at a fast clip and caused a small whirlwind making the papers on my copy holder to go flying around haphazardly landing in my chair and on the floor.
Did anyone notice this occurrence? No, no one noticed. The culprit is oblivious to what has taken place. Why, you ask? It was probably a cell phone call, one of many they receive in a day. Then they ran past my desk to go find some privacy to answer their call.
To them it is as if they didn't do anything at all. They don't pick up the papers they have caused to fly around. I mean, isn't it only polite to say "oops" and help clean up the mess you've made? Are they really that much in their own heads that they don't see the chaos they cause in their own wakes?
If it was me, I would at least say I was sorry and place the papers back on the copy holder.
I pick up the mess someone else has made and I put the pages back in order. I wondering yet again why I am even here if no one even respects me enough to pick something up when they blow it over.
It is very frustrating.
In Genesis 21:22 the scripture says:
"God is with you in everything you do."
I try to remember this scripture when dealing with things in my life. Then I ask myself how do I want to react?
Do I scream and say, "What is wrong with you crazy people?" No. I just pick up the mess and move on with my day. It is just one of a million little digs I feel is thrown at me. But I still maintain my positive attitude as much as I can. It can be very tough when you are around so much negativity in a day. But I try to remember this one thing: God is with me in everything I do.
