I think grouchy moments in grocery lines or driving are acceptable - although you might want to keep any gesticulations to yourself behind the wheel ;)Jackie Buxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02186723392553752533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233719410107288850.post-44491468751699120462011-05-02T18:58:18.220+01:002011-05-02T18:58:18.220+01:00What a great blog!! :) This was a fun read and so ...What a great blog!! :) This was a fun read and so true! There's just certain times that you absolutely should NOT be grumpy and I think handing flowers is one of them. I tend to be grouchy in those alone moments, waiting in the grocery line or driving. When I'm at homw is when I fake the smile, at least arouind my child. My husband might tell you differently! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233719410107288850.post-65282146017722976172011-05-02T17:42:47.128+01:002011-05-02T17:42:47.128+01:00Exactly!

Cheerful workmen are always nice though, definitely preferable to those who give sharp intake of breath accompanied a disbelieving look when you suggest that whatever it is you desire would really be quite an easy job and would take no time at all! Not pointing any fingers you understand but there was a time when I used to work with a few who had advanced level NVQ in the above!Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00367552544840531726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233719410107288850.post-42420950620227754592011-04-28T09:18:03.680+01:002011-04-28T09:18:03.680+01:00Hi Antonia!

If I am having a bad day I usually find being at work takes my mind off things anyway, and I'd never take it out on the customers. And when I get home I've usually forgotten whatever was annoying me in the first place :o)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986874444030474719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233719410107288850.post-55446934245883089362011-04-27T15:15:10.707+01:002011-04-27T15:15:10.707+01:00Aw!

I am mostly cheery but when I wporked in a shop, I found people really ground me down. I work at home now and today I am writing an article about Happiness so I can't really be grumpy doing that, can I? xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
