Put a smile and avoid any unnecessary discussions . And make something to take myself out of this mode like drinking cup of coffee hearing a song  i like , order fast food in the break and eating with my colleagues .

Rule that I set for myself whenever I go to work is be an actress,portray somebody else and leave your BS to your house even if your whole world is torn apart. It will only take a second to ruin your career and yourself when you act like a BS so better to forget you are tired and grumpy and do your job and if you cant do it and handle stress and pressure then quit and find the best job that suits you.

first of all I believe that your feelings must be reflected to your relation with the customer

I believe also that feelings Can not synthesize 

 

my advice , if you are in bad mode , go away little bit , do something makes you happy , stop thinking any matter bather you , and continue  :_)

You leave your grumpiness at the door and put on a smile. If it gets too much during the day, take a short break to compose yourself.

Personally when i feel tired I usually try to satisfy customer needs cause talking to customers make be feel great cause communication with your customers is a positive side that reflects on you and let you provide good service.Sometimes when talking to your favorite customer relax you and change your mood , contacting with your colleagues push you up and change your mood completely.
