Had a really frustrating old client today. He’s known for being difficult, and even though we’ve explained the process multiple times, it’s the same argument every time he comes back. It honestly feels like he just wants to argue for the sake of it. You can tell he doesn’t like how things are run, but since we’re the ones handling it, he has no choice but to comply. One of my coworkers finally gave up, and I ended up having to explain everything again. I am under the weather today, and I’ll admit I lost my patience too. We got into an argument. I mean ARGUMENT. Both got frustrated, and so he went back to my coworker, and I stepped outside just to breathe. Working in government is tough. You really want to help, but some people are just impossible to please. Even when you try your best, they still think you’re not helping. I know I could’ve handled it more gracefully, but today was just one of those days. And now I still can’t seem to rest even if I want to.
