Today is the day I almost blew it away and call it off.
Working in this industry, is like riding a roller coaster. So many ups and downs, sharp turning and sudden breaks that makes you so high and yet so nauseas.
We just have to accept the fact that there will be assholes and jerks out there who LOVE to make other's life difficult. And it is just unlucky for me to be the one handling them. My blood pressure meter just blew off when they used the manager card to pressure me and looked down on me just because I seem inexperienced to them. Just because I look young and seems like I am a part timer doesn't mean that I am one. I admit it myself, I still can't handle my emotions well when it comes to this kind of situation. For me, it is simple. I know what I am doing, and I know I did the right thing, so I will stand on my ground.
I was so angry and pissed off at that point because I did no mistake, so why are these people like that? Why must I be embarrassed like that? I keep analysing and analysing on what could have gone wrong and have I done anything wrong. But the answer is still the same. I did not make any mistake. Then all sorts of negative thoughts keep flashing through my mind. What am I doing here? I have studied so hard all these while to be treated like this? Why do I have to lower my self esteem and integrity for something that I have no wrong? Why am I still here?
My manager and and Assistant Manager had my back and they understand that it is not my fault. I am just unlucky, that's all. After cooling down my fire within 5 minutes, I went back into service and still smile to other guests. Talking about split personality.
This is just part of the service industry. You just have to suck it in and let it go. There will be people who tries to step on you and you just need to be one step higher than them.
All in all, we need to remember the good ones, and forget the bad ones. Keep reminding yourself the reason why you are here, and what you want to achieve. Then move on, or just try to move on. This is part of the journey.It is ugly and bumpy, but the fruits at the end of the road is sweet and rewarding. Hopefully. haha.
Let's just see how will my journey be from now on.
