Am I the d***head?

I’m a kitchen designer, our company has a strong connection with a stone manufacturer. I talk to the drawing office team all the time, I’m also very positive, friendly and don’t take things too seriously. I always get a laugh out of them. Today I had to talk to a guy called Chris from another department.

We were making decisions about a job installation but it ended up that it really lay with my director and his manager to make the final call. I joked that we were just the middlemen and i will need to speak to my “Daddy” to get the final call, Chris then said, il have to get my “mummy” then etc etc. out of context it sounds weird I get it.

Half an hour later his manager phoned to say that id been rude and that her staff don’t appreciate being talked to like that.

The guy was joking and laughing with me then had done that.

Why are people such dickheads, life isn’t this serious. It really annoyed me. I understand there is a time to joke about and a time to be serious but I was only making light of the situation?!

My wife recently had a health scare and it’s got me thinking. I have a pretty decent job as a high end kitchen designer but find myself after 12 years being a bit bored of it now. Love it for its creativity but I’ve kinda had enough.

We have a 5 year old daughter and I am the “ultimate fun dad”, all her friends seems to warm to me and I love just hanging out with them - wife thinks I should start my own childcare service. If only after school and drop offs.

I’m not really cut out for the “corporate” life, this would suit my personality much better.

My new mantra is "I don't have the energy anymore to be anything other than who I am"

Thoughts?
