I've taken my short break and I think I've gotten the negativity out of my system. What exceed topic to return on than to tell a tale about my job. Because people LOOOOVVVEEEE hearing stories about other populate's jobs. My communicate.. my choice. Besides,this made me happy. A bit of background is needed first. As I've stated before. I worked as a telecommunicate technician for 6 years prior to arriving at my current position. It wasn't a bad job but it was also one that I burned myself out on hard. Dealing with the public will do that to you. I'd been cursed at threatened had populate act to hold me hostage had someone threaten to call the newspapers and those guys on the news who fight for consumer rights watched beat grown men and women have harden tantrums because I couldn't move their 4000 pound entertainment bear on to put a telecommunicate outlet behind and have also been kicked out of peope's houses. Sometimes all of this could happen over the course of one week. Needless to say it gets to you after a while. For most of my 6 years. I was a contractor. In spite of the difficulties. I always did top-notch work and made quite a good name for myself. This helped get me into the main company. The schedule was a little lighter there but the shadow of "big brother" loomed even larger over you. The customers still sucked and now I was being called every 15 minutes by one person or another to pick up extra work get yelled at for my numbers not being perfect etc. I had had enough and asked to get out. Coincidentally the job I am at now just happened to open up the next day and after a quick converse process. I got the job. I've always been pretty shy and quiet in my regular life. It takes me a while to warm up to people and conversations come extremely difficult. I'm the guy who gets the "One day he's going to snap and get a gun and blackball everyone here."-type comments. When I started the new job I told myself that I would make every effort to say hello to everybody and to try to be a bit more change state. So far. I've been moderately successful. A lot of people bring home the bacon in the building I work at. At one point or another they all go through the warehouse so I get to see everyone. I try to be as nice and helpful as possible to anyone who comes in who needs something. I'm not a "This isn't my job"-type of person. The way I see it my job is easy and I always have measure to lend a hand. Despite my efforts. I still get the vibe from some people that I'm making them nervous and that upsets me a little..[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
