One of the things I’ve been dealing with is not blurting out that I have cancer, especially when a client is lamenting their lives, you know, they work too much, they’re tired, their children/husband/boss expect too much or doesn’t understand them.  Yes, even tho I’m a computer tech, when you’ve been dealing with the same clients for as long as I have, they can sometimes think of me(us) as counselors of sorts, or a type of friend.  It’s all said in passing during the call and happens to most of us.  I listen and coo at them.  Or a store clerk asking how I am and I just say ‘fine’.  I wonder what all these people would say if I ‘shared’ my problem with them.   Oh to only have to worry about being tired or overworked….
Lately clients have been asking if I’m getting holidays this summer.  All I says is yes and leave it at that.  If they only knew…
