Customer Service Rep AKA Punching Bag

I've been at my new job a week now. Honestly it's not as bad as the title suggests. Sure, I sit at a computer taking crap from people all day long, but how is that any different from being in an internet relationship? At least there I'm getting paid $10/hr for it. Much more tollerable than my previous job, and actually almost enjoyable. And when it's not.. I just drown my sorrows in a pot of coffee, put my headphones on, listen to music, and ignore everyone in the office around me.

Blah.. there's a guy in the office that fancies me, which is always nice.. but he came up behind me yesterday and rubbed my shoulders. I didn't even know how to respond, so I did nothing. I don't like being touched by anyone, especially someone I barely know. I haven't had any form of physical affection in months.. not even a hug, so it felt really unusual to be touched.

My mood has been pretty good the past few days. I've established a routine, and I'm going into a job I don't absolutely detest or dread. I'm also gone from the house 12 hours a day, which is a HUGE relief. Anything keeping me busy is a Godsend. It takes an hour and a half to get to and from work each day. An hour and a half. I sit on the bus with my headphones on and watch the world go by. It makes me feel almost human to have a proper full-time job again. To have a need for an alarm clock and to be up and out my front door before the sun's even risen. I love the early morning hours and I'd missed them recently.
