Is it me or does every state worker have THE WORST attitude EVER!?!?!
Think about it...when was the last time you walked into a DMV or some other state agency and were greeted with anything other than, "take a number and stand in line" or "have a seat" or "may I help you? (but spoken in a tired and aggravated voice)" or silence/roll of the eyes/dead stare.
I mean, what is the problem?
Last week, I had to call a local health department in metro Atlanta to get a copy of my birth certificate. "Hold," is how the woman answered the phone. Ugh!
After several minutes, when she got back on the line, she already had an attitude. From where? Who knows. But it wasn't me, we hadn't even talked....so why did I have to suffer? I made sure to use a pleasant voice, but everytime I asked her anything, she sighed or smacked her teeth, and answered the questions with a tone that shouted, "ugh, you should already know this."
Then today, I had to call a local health department in the Shoals. I won't list which one since I live and work in this area. However, it was the SAME thing. A woman with a freakin bad attitude for some reason. Did a co-worker upset her? Is she mad at her boss? Did she not sleep well last night? IDK - but I do know that I had to pay for someone or something that wasn't my fault.
All I'm saying is....be thankful you have a job and be pleasant with people if they are pleasant with you. Is that too much to ask for now?? Gosh...

I am so tired of the attitudes! I cannot understand how someone with steady employment (and may I say that government workers have more stability than the general public) can have such an aweful attitude. I think they should learn how to be appreciative of their jobs because there are so many people out there that would happily take their place!
