I haven't worked in years. When I had my career I absolutely hated every second of it. Apparently, I was successful, but hated the work itself. Still, I was always pleasant, in good humor and positive, because I was paid to be there. However, I would count the minutes until the weekend each and every day.

No but my resting face or concentrating face must look grumpy because everyone thinks I am.
I am grumpy on Monday mornings. I have my longest commute, with the most traffic on Monday. I have a meeting after this long commute. I have to see my boss who is a bad boss.( though he has been out since Jan ) I am grumpy on Monday mornings.
The rest of the week I am rarely grumpy. On occasion if I have an issue I’ll be frustrated which may or may not lead to grumpy. But mostly I’m just concentrating so I don’t miss something.

No, I'm not grumpy all the time at work. I'm sure I've had a grumpy day here or there, but this is honestly one of my biggest pet peeves. I really, really have a hard time when people start out from a place of negativity. ESPECIALLY if they are dealing with customers on a daily basis. If you don't like people and have to be so negative and sour, get a different job where you don't deal with the public.
We have one agent who immediately argues anything anybody says. If you tell her the sky is blue, she will explain to you that it really isn't blah blah blah. It is so draining and off-putting. I dread having to deal with her.

I’m rarely grumpy at work and if I am, I keep it to myself. Don't you work at home?

I’m rarely grumpy at work and if I am, I keep it to myself. Don't you work at home? I'm teasing in a way. I just find it amusing. I think you've branched out recently cmpeter? I used to work in a seriously grumpy environment. I'm pretty cheery and I'd go down the hall saying good morning to everyone and some people wouldn't respond. I'm like whatever. I've heard that the one ultimate grump is up for a promotion and I just don't see how. Not ever a nice person AT ALL! It's ok though, I believe in karma.
