Every day I wake up thankful that customer service is behind me.

Meh, I'm pretty happy where I am currently. My last couple of jobs were more what people would consider "decent" jobs, and they were both absolutely miserable environments to be in. The last one was "Inventory Management" for a plant nursery that sold to commercial businesses like landscapers and garden centers. I was in charge of keeping track of how many plants we currently had, what stage of growth from new plantings up through ready for sale, which greenhouses or grow areas they were located in, how much loss we were experiencing from various things like diseases and insects, as well as projecting the schedule for plantings so that they would be grown and ready for sale when the expected demand came in. It was ridiculously stressful to begin with, as the entire business pretty much didn't run unless I told them what to do and when. Plus the owner was about the most arrogant and disrespectful boss I've ever had the displeasure of knowing. I've got some serious horror stories from that place.

Apparently, within a month and a half of my quitting, he lost more than half of his staff including the maintenance guy who'd been with him for over 15 years and the maintenance guy's brother who'd been in charge of pretty much everything that wasn't inventory or repair related for over 10 years. I randomly ran into one of the supervisors that was in charge of caring for the new plantings a couple months ago. She said they were down to less than half of the volume they were at when I was there, and the owner has been having health issues ever since because of the stress of trying to keep the place afloat.

I told him on more than one occasion that he didn't realize how much I did for his company, that I wasn't just "wasting time fucking around on the computer all day" like he claimed, and that if it wasn't for me working my ass off to keep everybody on the same page and on track to hit our windows for new plantings the place would fall apart real quick. He didn't believe me then. I bet he does now.

But here, there's just no stress whatsoever. The job is easy. The customers are mostly really cool people. And even the occasional idiot I make topics about is little more than a minor nuisance and generally leads to entertainment sharing the stories on CE and hearing about others who've dealt with similar stuff. It pays well enough to cover my bills and expenses, I get to spend half my shift being paid to watch Netflix or play video games, and I don't ever have to take anything home with me to deal with outside work hours. The social life is rough at times, being awake at night and sleeping during the day, but I think I manage that well enough for now.
