wow, looking back,
i can't even believe it.
some of the things you said.
and thought.
Work was so much better today than on wednesday.
Wednesday I just felt like a failure.
I know, I know like working at blockbuster could ever be much of an acheivment.
But i was on the brink of a major breakdown that night.
I wanted to quit, i felt stupid, and i felt really distant from reality.
I thought i was doing horrible with everything i though everyone was juding me and i almost cried about ten times at remarks some customers made. they weren't that rude,
but it's like are you really-seriously?-going to take out YOUR bad day on someone that works at fucking blockbuster? Really? Not like i was in the mood to be nice to them, but of course i have to be.
However, after that disasterous day, i had work today. I was dreading it soooooo much.
At my surprise, I did a great job. My boss and I talked a little about how to "sell" to people, because i really needed the help. It's really uncomfotable asking people to buy stuff that you probably wouldn't buy yourself. But she helped me understand how to look at it differently-haha i sound so ridiculous, but i guess i just take my job seriously. Even if it is at blockbuster!
I was talking with the customers more like they were someone i'd already met, rather than someone i need to sell stuff too. I didn't care if i messed up my sales pitches to them, like i'm really gonna see them ever again-and if i do, for what five seconds the next time they rent Marley and Me or fucking Bedtime Stories?!
I just had a new attitude overall. We got some spiffy new shirts, and nametags, and i was just so much more positive today and bright. Mmmmmm it felt good to be that bubbly. Ha. I had an extra kick in my step and a genuine smile on my face and i was proud of myself.
And surprise, surprise! I sold a lot of shit today.
See?
Being causal with customers works. Hahaha this sounds so stupid, but i had so much more fun working today knowing that customers walked away with service that was the best i could make it.
I really, really did have FUN at work today. Wow.
i wrote sooooo much about my job.
at blockbuster.
and how i'm proud.
god! what's happened to my life?!
haha.
:]
oh! and just so everyone knows,
star trek was so good.
another thing i am amazed i'm saying!
but honestly, it was great from start to finish.
and I had low expectations-it definately went above and beyond what i thought!
