Journal Entry 4

If someone approaches me without using my name it makes me feel annoyed unless the person dose not know my name. However, If they approach me without using my name and  they are not being negative I can over look the not using my name. When they give me the cold shoulder, especially when i .am trying to discuss something important irritates me. As well as when they will not make eye contact with me while I am having an important conversation with them.  As for someone approaching me with nothing but complaints, I have a daycare parent that does this all of the time. At first I used to always assure her that my goal is to help every child succeed.  I always tried to be sensitive to her concerns. I have always tried to be proactive in trying to make sure she had nothing to complain about. After seven months of having her as a daycare parent I have come to the conclusion that I can not keep her happy. She is one of those people that always has something to complain about. So, when she comes in everyday to pick her son up and she has new complaints I listen to her and tell her I will do whatever it takes to fix the "problem". Her husband is the total opposite of her. He comes in happy everyday and never complains about anything. In the beginning I used to lose sleep at night over her until I figured her out. Now I have no trouble sleeping due to her and her complaints.
