i write to myself on my facebook wall
Before anything, let me just rant about my first working experience for the past 4 days.
If you didn't know, I'm working at a dessert shop. The first day of work was definitely exhausting, though it was a pretty refreshing experience.
My boss (not exactly, but I still refer to him as my boss anyway) and co workers have been really nice to me. They told me that I was their first part time and thus, hold a 'sentimental value' to them HAHA. They're rather kind, forgiving my mistakes and clearing up my shit. But I don't make mistakes very often okay! My boss is the best yet, he spends his time at work napping and reading fics HAHAHAHA. (Y)
For the first two days, the customers I encountered were rather nice and easy to handle. However, as days passes by, I start to see the ugly side of humanity. It's making me resent humankind, in a way. While there are numerous friendly and understanding customers, there are also customers that ticks me off (more of scaring me) so badly. When all things seem like sunshine and rainbows, there has to be a hurricane that blows it all up.
First, there are customers who are incredibly demanding and hard to handle, pinning all faults on me. Yes, I do understand that they are customers and they do expect quality service and all but I'm just writing things from my perspective. If they aren't clear with their orders, I don't think that I should be fully blamed, though it is to a large extent, my error. Some customers do understand that I'm new and so forgive and tolerate me, but there are always some who nitpicks about everything, and ask abundant amounts of irrelevant and unimportant questions. Don't expect me to know that you have an allergy to coconuts so I shouldn't take your order for a certain dessert. No, I'm not god, I don't know shit about you and I don't have to. I'm just there to take your bloody order.
Also, there are customers who don't have a least bit of respect. Yes, I'm your waiter, I'm serving you. But no, I'm not your slave and I'm not there to be lashed at by you. If I did something wrong, yes, I understand why you are scolding me but when it's something that isn't my fault, I don't think I deserve to be insulted or criticized. You know, its funny how all the hard to handle customers are always the ones dressed up in suits, presumably holding high positions in their work. But that doesn't make you more superior than me. So don't look down on me or in some sense, push me around like I'm getting paid to do so. Is it higher education that shapes people into unreasonable beings with poor attitude?
Rantings aside, there also customers who bug me about the fish tank beside the shop. It really isn't something to be mad at. But it's just amusing to see the large amount of interest people have in fishes.
I know I sound so negative and critical. I once thought the world was a beautiful place with sunflowers flourishing everywhere. But now, I definitely see things in a brand new light. Underneath the field of sunflowers, there's dirt and grovel everywhere, soiling the scenery when viewed more in depth. But no, I'm not saying that everyone is a bitch or a bastard. Certainly, there are people who are kind and made me smile genuinely. But you know how the negatives always make the positives seem so dull and insignificant. Though it seriously made me afraid of interacting with my customers.
Even with all these, work is still very enjoyable. Shouldn't let all the negatives amplify and dim the positives right?
If you finished reading my rant or rather, the truth about society, thank you. You can now proceed to view overdue pictures in low quality with little captions.
P.S: Forgive all grammatical errors. Ranting and typing out what hits you doesn't coordinate well with using good and coherent english.
My teacher's wedding was really sweet. It's always touching to see a person's devotion to their faith, I don't know why either.
Pictures in a complete mess. Can I be bothered? Nope.
Great to meet my primary school teachers. Glad that they didn't forget the insignificant me, hahaha. I know, she's pretty right?
Bai lao shi! If there's anyone I would want to thank in my life, it would be him. I guess he's the one who really trained me hard to be a...... good (self-proclaimed) dancer. Without him, seriously, my dancing would be horrible.
My other dance teacher. She's awesome you know, the first thing she said when she saw me was that I grew fat. Thank you so much.
All my primary school teachers are super pretty lol. And then we look at Chung Cheng and sigh deeply while throwing pebbles into the lake.
