for most of the time...i just wanna be appreciated...
even a small 'thank you'...
or be it a kind smile...
yes...that would have worth everything that was done...
day one at pc show sux...was being assigned to the Compaq booth which totally cocked up big time...right from the beginning of the day...i think all other booths of PC Connect had suffered some kind of suck-ishness...man...i wonder why the team leaders just have no leadership calibre...
okie...so...here, the whining shall begin...
we were told to be there at 11am...and so..dutifully...we did...except for zhihao (a.k.a felix)...who arrived slightly later....but still...he's not late enough to NOT witness the perm staff...having a briefing....setting up only when the crowd started to flock in...and so...a grp of abt 10 temps were waiting and idling...still haven't yet received any instructions on wat to do...
pissed....
and why am i assigned to compaq? when all its stuffs are kinda lousy to begin with...lappie and desktop specs are just soso...nothing impressive...no selling factor...okie...thatz probably becoz of my luck...since it's coupled with the location of the booth being in the middle of 2 other compaq booths by other shopz...
okie...wat more to add on to a lousy day like this?
almost zero salez..."i'll come back later" is the most often reply that i got...no! i'm actually okie with the reply...in fact....i should thank them in expressing interest and listen to me trying to smoke them out with stuffs that i dunno...
but the fact that no single one of them actually come back later...ouchz! (dun rub it in pls!!!!) it's...well...'encouraging'!!! okie...one did return after a short while larz...a very crappy lady...lolz...my 1st and last sale of the day at 2045? yeah..that you, miss...
wat actually pissed me off more were those customers that didn't even give me a 'stare' (okie..maybe not a STARE! but you know what i mean...) when i tried to talk to them in the most polite manner that i can afford to give....(pple who know me should know how cynical i can get...) yahz! was i practically talking to a wall...or just air then?
okiez...i do have my rule of thumb when approaching the pple...
1. pple on the phone...i dun disturb...
2. pple with ipods or any-crap-shiity-mp3-players plugged in...i leave them alone...(coz i myself tend to plug in my ipod shuffle when i wanna be dnd mood...i UNDERSTAND!)
3. pple who are looking at flyers that are not relevant to the ones i have...i dun kajiao....
so...these leave me with idle pple...with nothing to occupy that tiny 'world' of theirs...."omg! could you just like me into your world for a moment?!?!?! i just wanna share something ttz not so attractive, with you..."
of coz...there are always 2 sides to a coin...there are pple who are really nice to entertain me with a few kind words of 'thank you'...
the feeling of being appreciated is really wat pple need...
like the pple in simei care centre...even though they nvr express it...you can feel it...when you actualli go down to their place and make cards with them...some of them even make their way down to suntec world book fair to show support to the pple helping them...so swt!
yah...it's like when you organise gathering for friends..and some didn't even bother to reply...how would you feel man? totally unappreciated and sux!
like when i try my best to establish this friendship...hoping it can go one step further...trying to arrange for simple meals...and more often than not...the replies are...erm...sometimes...there's no reply even bah....
it's sad...but these things are happening...yahz....zs goes by...being unappreciated...when all that he wants...is just some recognition of his effort....
lolz...wat a long, whiny post!
i would like to leave with a simple note: it doesn't take much to make a person's day...a simple smile will do...
so...start showing some kindness to those around you...dun be stingy with that...it's not an expensive item to you...but it may worth a hell lot to otherz....
\be kind...
