minor annoyances

A text message at 7:45.  "Sry grl, I can't come in 2day, my kid is sick."  From cashier that was supposed to be in at 8:30. 

"Vivian, we're out of low fat mayo." 

"Vivian, the toaster keeps going out."

"A customer found a blonde hair in her food.  Yes, I told her that nobody with blonde hair works here.  And yes, her hair is blonde."

"Oops, I accidentally gave out that order to the wrong customer.  Vivian, can we please make it again?"  

"Excuse me ma'am these lids don't fit these cups."  Hmm, they sure don't, sorry let me call somebody about that. 
"Sorry Vivian, they were supposed to get rid of all the old stock.  I'll send you some new lids next week, you'll just have to make due until then."

This is what my job looks like.  Actually, this is only one side of my job.  The down side.  The crappy part.  But I watched House MD today (even though I told Louis I wouldn't watch any this week, sorry babe) and realized that her job as Dean of Medicine is much harder.  Much harder.  Some days, I feel like I have everything to complain about.  My day was soo crappy I tell Louis.  But other people have it much worse.  My job is pretty easy and pretty awesome most days.  I forget that though.  I dwell on the hardships and the annoyances and the petty and forget all the good.  There are far more good days than bad. 

Don't we do this so often with God?  We forget that he's been with us thorough all good times and forget all his blessing.  How we have many many good days and disaster strikes and we ask where is God?  How could He have allowed this?  Why?  All good things come from above.  Disaster and calamity come from him too, for He is over all things.  Shall we receive good from God and shall we not receive evil?  (Job 2:10)

God is always good, despite my circumstances.  I must remember this.
