A Dream From The Air Conditioned Nightmare

There is nothing worse than waking aggravated from a well deserved rest exhausted because you had a nightmare about the Job and Place you're exhausted from day after day. Yes. I had dreamt of work. I've had these "nightmares" as of late and it's very annoying knowing that in a few hours, I have to go back there for better or worse! The "nightmare" in question was about a telephone call I received at work ( I get these annoying customers calling our Job from time to time. It's part of the ecology of the business) about an item in our store. I stutter once from frustration and the customer turns t a complete asshole, mocking my handicap the entire conversation! You see, this is a constant issue I have to deal with every waking hour and working in a place where you have to communicate to people has a devastating effect upon me psychologically and I assume I will never be rid of it: that fear which hits you when you see the words that will eventually breakdown mid way between thought and verbalization. What's more interesting, and oddly comforting, is that birds also stutter (I saw this on the Discovery Channel)!
I get teased enough at work about it, now I have "nightmares" about it too..... It's late. I still have a few hours before work. I'll try to get some sleep.
