I work as a cashier at Purple Cactus in Jamaica Plain (yikes). It may not sound so pleasant but the truth is it's not so bad. I find it a great practice to interact with customers and I love meeting new people everyday, I definitely enjoy the part where they smile to me and say thank you for their meals. I also learned how to use a complicated register and how to process payments with cash and credit, which is a pretty good skill to learn. It is also a good way to learn how to deal with upset customers and learn ways on how you fix them.
We are also all one big Purple Cactus family. We all laugh and enjoy each others company and we work together as a team to not only get the job done but to make it easier for each other. I could say that working here is the funnest place I have ever worked in my life, everyone is super nice and cool to talk to and we all get along. We do not mind taking each other shifts when one can not work and we just love to help one another out. This is a huge gratitude at work because we all meet new people and we become a family.
I am grateful for all the things about my job. First of all, I am grateful to even have a job. My job can be stressful because the big boss makes it a bit hard for us and the restaurant gets really busy; however, we together as a team is extraordinary. We all love to laugh and enjoy ourselves like a big family and I am grateful to have such an amazing job with amazing people. In the future, I want to become a nurse because I am a very social person and I love to meet new people. I also want to help people and change others life and working here is a good practice because so many people come in and I take about 500 or more orders a day and its a good way to communicate and meet all sorts of people each day.
Overall, the gratitude at work is the skills I learned, the new people I meet everyday, and the amazing people I work with.

Kim,
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I think you did a great job, coming to several realizations about your current job. Working with great people really makes a difference and the skill of managing yourself and difficult customers will definitely spread to your nursing career, where you will inevitably interact with irate, frustrated people.
Awesome realization in your writing and sincere gratitude emits from the page.
Great design... great poem. I like your hip hop lady flow here. It's strong. Fierce. Powerful. Keep it up!
