Satisfaction Not Guaranteed

It really is quite amazing how much mood is affected by the weather. And yes - I know this is a boring topic that I have overwritten about countless times before, but the evidence continues to mount and the consequences never seem to lessen, so why not revisit it? It's not like I'm just rehashing thoughts about an incident long past, I'm typing about how my life is being affected today, and today it's being affected by the rain.
This isn't just me I'm talking about, by the way - it's the mood of the general population and the resultant attitude and atmosphere. Take my work environment as an example. When people arrive here on holiday, they expect to get holiday weather. Now, as I've said before, that is not something that either I or my employers can control, but that doesn't stop paying customers from blaming us for it and speaking to us accordingly. They also seem to think that the opportunity for enjoyment onsite ends when the clouds appear and the rain starts. Which is ridiculous. We have a multitude of facilities and activities that are not dependent on sunshine or dry days, but it seems that a drop in temperature makes people reluctant to enjoy themselves, even though we're providing possibilities, and they take the lack of decent weather as a personal affront. Which, again, is ridiculous.
All I can say is - (although I would never actually say this to one of them) - that if you want to bask in 30 degrees Celsius, book a holiday somewhere that regularly has that temperature. And if, instead, you come to Suffolk in June, then be prepared to wear a raincoat.
