a short biography of a small fry
Recently, I saw few coffeeshop assistants, often wearing a smile and appeared all perk and enthusiastic. This let customers like me felt very at ease to watch them at work and to order drinks from people like them. It was then I find that I should make myself be enthusiastic about my job, not only I will feel happy, so will my colleagues and clients.
However, bringing this positive thought to work very soon backfire when tons of workloads attached with unreasonable fast deadlines are slapped at me. And when amidst of your hectic schedule, both relevant and irrelevant people came to ask you to do extra work. And you just do not know why irrelevant people can simply do that just because what they need is just what that is relevant to your job, that is how ridiculous. And when you try to push these irrelevant pests to someone else, it bounces back within minutes! Argh>O Anyway that unlucky irrelevant fellow certainly could not escape without being attacked by my hostility and thought that it was worth it just because I lie that I will help him in the end. Well, not really a lie, somehow just not that soon. Cannot really blame me, just because of a sentence “I need bla and bla.” I will have to use all my strength, waste my time to move and dig dusty, heavy boxes and boxes of files and document, which do not guarantee that the efforts will be paid off. You might just end up finding nothing and then use time and strength to put back boxes and boxes of dusty and heavy files.
At presence, the comfort in my work is that I am working with nice people. I find that working with nice people is very important because I am NOT very nice. So in order not to work in an environment where I might be ostracised, it is advisable that I do not change job yet. Putting myself in shoes of the people who call me at work, I certainly understand how dreadful it is to call and hear my cold, half-dead but murderous tone, which silently tells you, “I am very busy, I do not have time to talk.” Compare to another colleague, a very cheerful lady who always laugh heartily and talks amicably.
Maybe one day, I will be able to carry out the attitude of the coffeeshop’s assistant. They are certainly not well paid as bill gate and also a small fry as me. They surely do encounter unreasonable people who act like beast. It is definitely not easy. So naturally I can be forgiven for not being able to do that yet.
I am forgiven.
