It takes more than patience to be
able to work with certain situations.
I think it has of willingness than
anything else. I´ve learned that in life you will encounter situations in which
you must step OUT (really out) of your comfort zone. In which you must we stop thinking
about ourselves and how selfish we could be (as humans and idiots) in a lot of
situations. By now you are probably wondering “what in the world if she talking
about, she must be high or something along those lines”…but hear me out…
I´ve not always worked inside an
office, I do now. I´ve had worked all my working life with people. I have to
admit that I am a bit of a people’s person. At one point in my life I had this
crazy idea of being a Forensic Scientist but desisted after knowing that I
could be enclosed with cadavers ALL day long…… I think I wouldn’t have gone
crazy! SERIOUSLY (serious face on).
I need to see people, interact with
them, feel that I am making a difference on someone else’s life, and impact on
how their day might be going or even how their life its turning…I have these
need for knowing that I am useful and helpful. It might be a bad thing if you
think I am being selfish or need all the attention to myself but that it not it.
It’s more than that.
I’ve also had the blessing of sharing
work space with folks who don’t think the same as I do. They are complete jerks
when it comes to handling others. They have no people skills what so ever and irritate
me like you could not imagine. And I irritate them as well because of the way I
am… straight up. I don’t like or accept or allow anyone to treat anyone else
like a piece of junk, don’t like or tolerate people to think they are better or
higher than anyone else.
Why all of this? Today at work this
lady who we will call Apple got on my last nerve. She had been there for a
really long time. She is an accountant and has worked there longer than I had
(which really doesn’t affect me because I just don’t care, I still do my job). She
happens to be in charge of paying the drivers whenever they do a deliver and
have to bring back merchandise.
The driver calls me up because he
knows I will fix the problem and she is a pain, to make sure he is going to get
his money paid. I tell her why the driver it’s worried because she doesn’t pay
them as she is supposed to and her answer is “well I’m not going to pay him
now!”……… and some more …….
By now you are probably trying to
figure out how my face turned! Trust me Not pretty.
What? Are you joking me? Have you
lost it? You are not paying him? Why?
Because you said so! News flash it doesn’t
work like that! He is doing his job; you do yours and pay him his money. He worked
for it and you are nobody to tell him that he is not going to get paid because
you said so….
People like that irritate me because they
claim themselves professionals just because they have a Diploma getting dusty
in their house and ring on their fingers. Education starts at an early age and
most so called Professional don’t have a bit of it. I´ve found folks who barely
know how to write their name and who behave and have a great deal of Education.
Don’t be so quick portraying yourself
as bigger than other as if you don’t all use the bathroom for the same purpose…
Have you laughed today?
