im kinda pissed off today.
i work at pos and there's this other pos member there. she's like fat, and well she kinda bugs me a bit coz she doesn't stop talking .. like she talks about crap and stops the customer a whole minute once they finish paying..
well anyway. i know i talk fast, like i mean slowing down i can but it'll just be weird... on my behalf anyway.
on the PA, i was told by her that a fellow team member complained that i sound kinda annoying on the PA and that i should slow down. She just said it was a "he", so i was guessing it would've been anyone in stationary or the store manager. she goes "oh yeah.. just forgot to tell you but yeah... just try and slow down a bit e.t.c."
i had to make an excuse up obviously, i go yeah i know, people have said i speak fast e.t.c. so it'll be hard...
she goes yeah... do you know why i pick up phones instead of you when you're free? coz your PA announcements are just that reason.
I didn't take it too hard.. but im like.. sheesh don't have to tell it to me like that, i mean if that's how i talk, that's how i talk.. i can slow down but likewise if someone else complains coz i speak too slow you can do the PA all by youself....
likewise everyone is entitled to a 15 mins break. she goes to me today, "i usually take 30mins break coz noone sees me lol". Likewise, my responses are usually muted so i go "yeahhhhhh".. i just thought to myself "well probably explains why i do wrong things when there's like 10 people in queue and im the only one at POS. I can go on PA e.t.c some fag might not like my voice". Well thing is, if im by myself at POS and 10 people are in queue it does get stressful, well for me anyway. The phone ringing and me having to pick it up and depending the call, having to make a PA annoucement doens't help either.
She has worked there since the beginning of the opening of our officeworks, so i really can't say much. like i said, i won't discriminate coz she's fat, but she does on my nerves alot.
I try to be more tolerant of people nowadays.. Im very intolerant.
There's also another team member in techworks, who's a female. She's usually muted, i.e. doens't say much and when she does her comments are kinda sarcastic. I think alot of the guys at my place know that lol, and the fact that her brother works there with her doens't help that lol.
I get on fine with her, just say the odd occasional hi and bye. The fat lady on the other goes to me the other day "well there goes happy out the door" im like "what?"
she goes "oh yeah.. i hate her. her comments are all sarcastic e.t.c." .. im like "yeah ok"... can you see my responses are always muted?
i just came to my own conclusions that if she's like that as a person, then obviously what she says is probably alright coz all can't be sarcastic.
but yeah... i had to say it to someone. yeah fine, you can tell me that i should try and improve on my PA annoucements, but the fact that she was being arty-farty about it just pisses me off. Every PA annoucement i did today after that, i used my low voice and spoke slower. sounded weird, but meh kill me if you don't like it. i can't please everyone.
im still on the 3 month probation. so i gotta be goodie e.t.c. I try and avoid having long convo's with the other managers and others, just in case i say somethin wrong and they'll hate me for it... bloody hell.
soryr for ranting, but i need to say it to someone. =(
lucky i got a later shift tomorrow and i won't need to see her.!
