Met up with the maternal for dinner as a prelude to my birthday, and it was an incredible night. We were chatting and laughing away while looking through the pictures from our childhood, often teasing each other over the ridiculous hairstyles which were popular 15 years ago, and the not so flattering nakedness of our chubby selves.
Headed off to the vicinity of work and was surprised by the crowd. It seems that there was live feed of a game or race.
Fast forwarding a few hours, let's just say the night ended off with a colleague fainting on the job, calling for an ambulance, closing the restaurant early, me helping out in my heels and mini-skirt, and an outburst over a runaway bill of $148.
All's well ends well? Not even close to that.
All I wanted to do at that moment was to just get out of there and fortunately, Remo being the trooper he is, came to get me and accompanied me to the hospital for a bit. I could see the fatigue on his face and that just reaffirms the kind of friend he is. A great one.
Reached home around 3-4am, ending up in bed at 6am and having to get up 3 hours later for work. Throughout the entire duration at work, all that went through my mind was whether it's worth it to continue staying, when the management doesn't exactly know how to treat people right. It isn't just about me, but the others as well. How do you expect people to give their best for you when you're capable of putting them down and going physical on them, even if it's for fun on YOUR part? There's something call SELF ESTEEM and RESPECT.
At the end of the day, one sentence resonates in my mind.
If you don't respect your staffs, then you don't deserve any.
It's really all that simple, but isn't it such irony how it's always the simplest thing which we're most incapable of achieving?
This is turning out to be such a joke. I need to be away from it all for a bit.
