Oh my goodness! It's only been ages since I've even looked at my blog... Well, I'm back- at least tonight and with lots in my head.
So I was sitting in my favorite place on earth today when and elderly man (and one of my favorite people) asked me if I could see auras. He explained what they were to me and that different colors had different meanings.
I honestly haven't heard much on them, but as for myself, rather than seeing an aura I think a person's personality shows through strong enough either in their eyes or face. Sometimes you can look at a person and just tell that they are a sweet and kind person, others you can see that they are just playful and are the type to play jokes on others. And then there are those that you can't really tell what they are like until they surprise you. It's the kind that aren't very pleasant you really have to watch out for.
This week at work I received a call from this type of lady. She had an unusual question about mail which I didn't have the answer to. I simply told her my coworker could return her call, however, my caller didn't give me her phone number but proceeded in asking me a multitude of prying questions that had little or nothing to do with her original inquiry. At length I finally asked her why she wanted to know but unfortunately this seemed to set her off and she snapped back wondering why it should be a secret. The uncomfortable inquiries and my failure to respond as she desired left a very angry woman on the other end of the line. Her voice gradually continued to raise causing my heart rate to go up as well. I continued to be calm, trying to soothe the lady without becoming too angry with her at the same time. I failed at various attempts to end the conversation and she refused to leave her number for my coworker to call back. I referred to our website and in return she fired off that if she had a question I had no right to give a website. Finally when she demanded that I stop being rude I simply told her I felt she must have been having a bad day and asked her what I could do to help her have a bad day. I think she was silent for an entire minute... that's a VERY long time when you are waiting on the phone. I began to wonder if she'd hung up and I hadn't noticed so I asked her again for her number. She yelled that I didn't have to insult her like that and then abruptly hung up.
Let me tell you. Talking to people like that make your work day SO lovely..... Um, no. Not really. I looked down and my hands were shaking and my head felt hot and heavy.
So moral of the story- aura or no, just do your very best to avoid the rotten eggs of society.
