ReplyDeleteMany people that work with customers can easily get frustrated and take off their anger with them. Working with people can sometime be stressful but at the same time it can be nice. For example, if you had a bad day you some people take it off against the customers if they mess something up that took a lot of time for them to do. You have to have a lot of patience always and have a smile on. Even though we are humans and we also have feelings we should always try not to mix up personal problems with work.

ReplyDeleteAnother typical morning, after I wake up around 8:00am, fist at all I do all my grooming activities and then I have breakfast. It is 8:30am, I have to hurry up otherwise I’ll be late for class. I grab my backpack and then I start walking to college. Everything is so monotonous since I get out of my house until I get to college. During my way to college, the time seems if it were stopped, a second lasts as a minute and a minute as an hour. Usually this is the only time that I have to think without anyone talking or disturbing me. Finally I get to college, where this short trip ends. Eventually you get used to all this and it becomes part of your daily routine.
