As I sit here at the front desk and type....I've been thinking at work, WAY TOO MUCH, and I've come to a conclusion about many things here at the work place. Many of these things simply defines people in general, but are sometimes more obvious at work. Now, I work at a small Pilates studio in Chicago, as a front desk receptionist/computer mechanic/pay roll adviser/care taker/greeter/teacher. My roll is spread out here at my work place and I don't get paid as much as I should to do all of these things. Yet, I work very hard and I spread myself too thin here. No problem, because one day I too would like to be a full time Pilates instructor. One day, I too would like to not sit behind a desk and answer a phone and maybe get paid to do what I went to college for. Have to climb the ladder where ever you are.
My coffee is now cold and I sip it anyway. A teacher, that can't stand me, just walked out of her class (as I sit here and pretend to be working). Last night she complained that I was not doing my job and now she smiles and tries to have a conversation with me. I keep typing.
I do my job! I do my job very well! In fact, if she knew how well I did my job, she just might hate me more. I just gave her a weak smile, to keep the peace around this place.
Another sip of my cold coffee.
I should probably talk to her and tell her what a bitch she is. No, that would be causing bad energy in this place. That's the last thing that I want. I could sit down at her feet and kiss them. Then, ask her if she'd like me to Swiffer around her feet while she's teaching so she can have a clean floor to stand on. No, can't do that... it's just not in me. What to say? "Um, I hear you've been having a rough time? What can I do to help?"
I don't know. Maybe I'll just keep sipping my cold coffee and ignore her.
