Yesterday was a tough day for me. And I was not a pleasant person.
My University was shut down to snow/ice. Woo hoo!
Cept my husband had to go into work. So, I was freaking out. Very mad that my husband and to drive 1.5 hours in dangerous weather. He said the roads were fine, and that he would be safe...and he promised me he'd call me when he got there to let me know he was safe.
So, he forgot to call.
I ended up going berserk.
I called his phone, no answer. Called the tech shop, no answer.
I called Customer Service, and on the first phone call, a guy picked up the phone, laughed into it and hung up.
After that, I kept calling back, frantic to get in touch with someone just to know that my husband was safe.
But this jerk at customer service kept lifting up the phone and hanging it up, without saying a word to me or giving me a chance to say anything.
I kept calling different phone numbers, and finally my husband answered his direct line.
I blew it.
Told him I was so upset, I'd been calling frantically. Told him about customer service.
Etc.
I felt needy, out of control, and panicky.
Not fun.
He handled it very well.
He apologized profusely. Told me he completely forgot to call as things were chaos right when he walked in.
Gave me another phone number to call. (Course, I called it later and it said, "Sorry this number has been disconnected." So, will have ask him for another phone number as that one isn't working.)
Then, before he left for the day, he called me and apologized again. Said it was his fault for not calling me like he said. And that he was so sorry for causing me to panic. He must have listened to the messages I left.
Dang, I hate losing control like that.
But, guys, you'd have been very proud of him!
I recovered from it, told him I was just relieved he was safe and that I couldn't wait to see him when he got home. That perked him up! I could tell he started smiling again...it's amazing how you can hear a smile on the phone.
Anyway, he handled my freakout well and gave me more positives for my journal.
