Somewhere that you may not suspect to come across rude people so often is in your work place, but it seems more and more these days myself and others are experiencing this.
I have always tried to get along and respect all that I work with, for one, because you know that you may be working with these people for years and I like to form relationships with those around me so that I may count on them for assistance, whether it's for job duties or may be it's just someone to talk to to work out a problem, share a funny moment or something longer lasting, a true friendship.
It maybe said too much, but really it can't be said enough, treat others how you want to be treated, it's as simple as that. Take a moment to think about what you are going to say or how you are going to say it, but if it does come out sharp, an apology is always the quick and easy fix. A sincere "I'm sorry" or a pat on the back and a smile sometimes can be all it takes to fix the hole it can leave.
It can't make the 'rude' persons job any easier, it definitely doesn't make the person that the rudeness is directed at easy at all. Think about this, if you are rude to someone, do you think that person is going to be so eager to help you the next time you maybe in a jam and really need some help.
We all have bad days, don't feel well, had a fight with your spouse, whatever it is but also when you take that
attitude to work with you, you are not 100% focus on your job duties. You hope that the surgeon that is holding that scalpel or the police officer in a car chase, is totally thinking about the job at hand.
I am not here to point fingers or say that I have never be frustrated with a co-worker myself, but I do try everyday to make a conscience effort to do my job the best that I can, I really am a people person and love
to help someone out whenever I can.
So the next time you are at work, tell your co-workers you hope they have a nice day, help them out whenever and with whatever you can, and keep your focus on your job and be the best of the best at it.
I think that this is my first real 'madness' blog I have written. I like to keep things light and funny, but sometimes you need to be serious and address the issues that need addressing.
EVERYONE, have a great week, make somebody's day, and make it count.
MMM

Gainesville Police Department, I know for a fact that even 43yrs later he is
still talked about and admired. Now that is someone doing the best at
their job.
