Funny tale to tell though. Doreen, our elderly part timer, was working with me today. There's this customer who phoned when we were both helping multiple customers at the same time. She wanted to talk to the Assistant Manager. Doreen said that she's not working today. Yvette, she meant. The customer then said my full name but Doreen said I was with a customer and that she'd ask me to phone her back.
The customer was quite disturbed. "You keep saying 'HE' when I'm talking about a 'SHE'. Doreen explained that a lot of customers have been mistaken and that I do not take any offence. The customer replied "Well, it says here Assistant Manager and I'm sure I was talking to a young asian girl. She gave me this card herself!"
Doreen tried to explain. The customer was furious "Are you telling me I do not know how to tell the difference?" Doreen gave up and said that she'll let me call the customer.
My younger sister has been having trouble sleeping for the past 3 days now. She asked me to accompany her to her room to talk and to sleep there cause she doesn't want to be alone. I was able to calm her down with a few tricks of mine. After a while, she said "You can be a good mother, you know?"
I was glad to hear that. It's been a while since someone said that to me. Ahahahha! I guess I missed it. The fact that I am really valued in this family and in the store made my day. Hahahha! Wasn't able to play FFXII but it's fine. Did a lot of sacrifices today... but it's all good! Ahahahha! I am thankful for my family, for my co-workers/friends, for my 2 best friends, Erica and Dennis, for my close friends (Hoy Abril at Cammy, kasama kayo dito! Ahahahha!)
It's a good life... I just have to go through the turbulence, like I used to.
