My job has brought the skill "people person" to a whole new level. 
You'd think being a people person would be to be able to get along well with your bosses, colleagues, agencies... heck, even the cleaning auntie. Right? 

But what if they threw 30,000 stranger mummies your way and told you to make it work? 
I've got a "Digital Marketing Executive" title to my name, but I deal personally with at least 100 mums on the daily. After only 1 year 9 months, I've dealt with strangers who fake their identities (I still do not know why), mothers calling other mothers "b****" and "s***", counselled close to a thousand mums on their personal problems and so much more... Perhaps the only thing digital about this is I'm always chatting with them online.  

Perhaps, if I had a degree in Psychology, maybe I'll be able to handle this wayyyy better. But I don't. I have a degree in Management - Business Management. 

All I have to say about this is, it is true. Humans will never be satisfied. Even if they are leading perfect lives, they are always going to create a problem out of nothing. There will always be something to be unhappy about, no matter how insignificant it is to me. And in doing so, it makes another human's life miserable. In this case, it's my life. 

Go away strangers, stop making my life miserable.
