Work

Lets be honest. How many of us are sick and tired of our job. Be it anything. Office or retail. If we are in the office, we are to meet clients or customers which sometimes can be nasty and picky. It’s the same thing for retail. The bottom line is regardless of whatever job we are in, we are customers at one point and we are picky and nasty at times. I am picky when I am shopping. I have been thinking of quiting my job many many times. I don’t think of it each night but there are some days whereby I will think of it. I like my job and the company but sometimes politics can kill the whole working environment. Each day we get resumes wanting to join the company and I on the other hand wants to quit. Sometimes, I think I am a lunatic. Wednesday was my day off. I slept late on a Tuesday night. I have been tellling some of my workmates that I want to quit and they were like ” Why”. They persuaded me not to as they enjoy working with me just as how I enjoy  working with them. To my regular customers, I asked them to sign my tmbler. Some asked why. I said ” Next time, when I leave the company, I will remember these signature of my regulars who I dearly appreciate “. Some of their reply really melt me inside when they said ” What are we going to do, where are we going to get our beverage now”. I looked at those signature and I really appreciate them. I was talking to a friend on Tuesday night telling that I want to quit my job. While talking. we were sharing our experience of each coffee house of the company that he and I went. We had different experiences as he went as a customer and I went as a person working for the company but different store. He said this statement that changed my early Wednesday morning at 2 am plus in the morning on my day off that gave me a new perspective ‘ You belong to the barista who love thier job but not everyone enjoys it like you’. I said Thank You to him. I went on with my day off relaxing and going out. Today, I went to work feeling much better and energize. Of course after a day off. Half way working we had to pre-close and sanitize. Most people does not like to pre-close and sanitize because it dries your hand out but pre-closing and sanitizing is my hobby out of my job scope. Here I am thinking of his statement. I enjoy and love my job. Enjoying the glamarous part of making coffee and also the cleaning part of moping, bin run and sanitizing. Above all I love the A to Z of my job. Half way pre-closing today. I was like ” I am really hardworking today finding things to sanitize when all has been sanitize and one of my working partner said thats because you had a day off.  I was agreeing to what she said but also because I was encourage to carry on with my job. Aristotle said ” Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work”. That is my Raison d’ etre

In my room state of mind

I was sitting on my chair looking at my iMac desktop, I remember the song ” A New York state of Mind “. If you love jazz and blues, you shoud know. I feel so relax after listening to Billy Joel’s – NY State of Mind. Though I am in Sydney and Born in Malaysia, I am neither in Sydney nor Kuala Lumpur state of mind. I am in my room state of mind. Honestly, I am now on my earphones listening to New York Stete of Mind with my legs swinging to the corner of my table sitting down and relaxing to the night. I am at tranqulity and calm.

Full time

When I wasn’t working full time, I never understood why full time working people are so exhauted after a 6 days of work. I always wonder. This week, I finally understand why. My answer came after working 9 days in a row and 1 day off. Working full time takes the whole of you. I find myself coming back home just curling in my room. Not anywhere but my room. Sometimes, I just take – away instead of cooking. All I long is my room (heaven). I have one more week to my crazy crash working shift and I am back to my limits as I will be back dating to my books and assignments. Finally.
