Every work has difficulties and answering phones is one of them. Have you ever gotten a call and simply thought, how stupid can you possibly be? Well, we've all been there and here are a list of calls that make me laugh and scream.

1. Do you have eggs?

Keep in mind, at the time I was working at a place called "Eggs Up Grill", and this was so beyond crazy that I just wanted to slam my head against the wall. No, we just put it in the name because we like eggs, not because we use them on our menu.

2. Are you open?

If I answered the phone, its not because I was wanting to talk to another human being, but rather because I am getting paid. I don't live at work and answer the phone just for fun.

3. Can you reset my password?

It's not the question but rather the following dialogue. "Sure, what is your information that you have for the account" "It's not safe for me to give you that, no." well, as most of you can already assume I can't reset an account if I don't know who its for or have confirmation that you're the right person.

4. Is this (insert job name here)?

I just greeted you with the name of the business so no, I lied to you and I'm really at the Krusty Krab, would you like a Krabby Patty? I mean honestly, its customer for many businesses to greet you with "Hi this is (job), my name is (_____) how can I help you?" So personally I find the question odd, I mean did you pick a random number to call and hope?

5. The lovely telemarketers

Yes, this can be the most excruciating part, having to listen as they ask for someone and you know that they don't even know who it is, because they ask by title.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
