When one job is so irrating, suddenly other jobs become walks in the parks! After subbing a bit in the school district, returning to my night job of waitressing, becomes effortless, almost a welcoming change.
For someone who enjoys her quiet time, perhaps I should reconsider my job choices - working with students as a substitute teacher, serving food at a restaurant, and working at an information center, where YES, people ask the dumbest questions. Is it a pre-requesite to leave all your smart brain cells at home before coming on vacation? Well, pre-req or not, many people do, sorry to report.
It's easy to mumble under your breath now, wow, she needs a vacation perhaps. But 1 out of 3 visitors manage to show their love for asking ridiculous questions. Example, nice lady comes in and asks if our ice skating arena is Olympic size... just curious. I am unable to find any sizing statistics for her, not even on the ice rink's official web site, but I offer to call. No that's ok.... whatever! Next joe that comes in, remember it's November now, and he and his family are here to mountain bike. Innocently enough, may I ask, before leaving home, did you think about where you are going and what you can do on November 3rd in Vail? Hotel guests, these are great questions for your concierge, keep it in house please. Or better yet think about where you are going.
Alright, I'm tired of bitching about these people and perhaps I was just as annoying when I was a tour guide. I hope I wasn't though, I tried not to be. I will admit I brought people to information booths and let them ask their dumb questions. So in a round about way, I suppose I angered the information booth gods, and now it is my time to deal should I say with the silly questions. Stupid question karma has returned to me.....
