I can't tell you what a boost I get when a customer takes the time to notice my name and to chat, to actually treat me like a person and not just a faceless uniform. It can literally make my shift when someone takes the time to ask how I am or even just to say thank you. Everyone is in such a rush nowadays, and that's understandable, life moves so fast, but it only takes a few seconds to wish someone a lovely day or a wonderful weekend. That goes just as much for retail workers too. I've worked in the past with (fortunately very rarely) co-workers who are so rude to customers :/ If only everyone would treat others the way they'd like to be treated themselves? I'll bet you are someone's favourite customer and they look forward to seeing you in-store whenever you visit, bless you for being so sweet Janet, I promise it means the world.

Your ...Hi Heather, aw bless you for being so sweet! Your opinion absolutely counts dear wee friend xx Mum was lovely and I adored her, she was always there for me when I needed her most and I miss her terribly. You're an empath angel, and also the sweetest, kindest most caring person. I think that's what makes you such a wonderful therapist. You care about others a great deal and I know that you feel their issues too because you care so much but I worry that it must be exhausting because it must be so difficult to "switch off" when you care as much as you do. You are such a blessing to everyone you help Heather, I hope you know that, they're so lucky to have you but you have to take care of you too. Being part time would be perfect because it allows you to have time for yourself too. To be able to re-fill your heart with happy things, ever so important when you give to others as much as you do. I'm so proud of you dear wee friend, huggles always xxx Rosie's Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08607490839144049343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756507668316918987.post-49005376568083887292016-09-16T01:34:14.933+00:002016-09-16T01:34:14.933+00:00Going back to school sounds like a definite advent...Going back to school sounds like a definite adventure to me! I would not want to start again, but then I am a little older than 29 - HA! I do believe what you mom-in-law said about doing what makes you happy! My kids have worked in retail and I hear their stories of rude customers so I always try to read the salesperson's name and look in their eyes and thank them when we are done with the transaction. I know it startles them sometimes when I call them by name but it usually puts a smile on their face and that's what I'm aiming for!

I loved your post. And I do think you are v...Rosie! I loved your post. And I do think you are very interesting and I think my opinion should count for something :) I loved college so much too! What a fun adventure it is! And I so love your mother-in-law. What a wise woman! I wish more people understood this and I hope to understand this deep in my bones someday. People are often after prestige and sucess and wealth but it doesn't make them happy. Often it's simple jobs that make them happy. I'm terribly embarassed to tell people I never want to do therapy full time again. It just drains me. Once I am licensed I plan to only have a small case-load of clients and only work part-time if we can swing it financially. I have no interest in stressing myself out for the rest of my life. But you should see the looks on people's faces when they realize I don't want a promotion or have a desire to be a lead therapist at an agency. It's almost funny if I wasn't so embarrassed! Your post was so inspiring and gave me much to ponder oxoxo Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17146959036685280439noreply@blogger.com
