Ups and Downs

It's been a really CRAZYYY week last week with a lottttttt of ups and downs that would take me the whole day to list all of them. Furthermore i dont think it's good to ponder over these things over and over again (the downs especially). The important thing is, i have learnt a lot about the real world. The world that i have been living in for almost 19 years wasnt as bad, wasnt as challenging, and sometimes the satisfaction derived wasnt as satisfying either. In this working world i have entered for 6 days alrd, taught me a lot of life lessons. Im exposed to VARIOUS kinds of people, be it customers or my colleagues. Yes, i was taken aback at the start, i felt inferior and weak, like i do not know myself. But the again, to think positively, im learning something precious. As my friend put it, it is good that this job at ikea is challenging. I would be able to develop myself better, have a more mature thinking and stop being a gullible person. Yesterday was the ultimate. I got to open my own counter without anyone assisting me! I panicked at the start and did about 2 mistakes which require my coordinator to come down to my counter to settle the problem. After that, i calmed myself down, istighfar a lot, and i managed my counter well right till the end:)
Ive met many kinds of customers and i find myself enjoying talking to them. Ironically, it's less tiring when there's customers as compared to when there's none. I hate to wait. The aches on my shoulders and back seems to be more painful when i take a rest cos my mind is more aware of them. When there's customers, i dont need to think about them. Just scan and scan and scan and ask questions and handle money well. I hope Allah will grant me strength and patience, insyaAllah:)
I guess i wont be able to go out as often from now on, with this hectic schedule including tuition sessions etc:/ so sorry atiqah and zul, for not keeping to my words:/ i dare not make promises again, but let me tell you that i will try my best to spend my next day off with you guys! After i make several good impressions, i hope my boss will be able to help me haha. Thanks for understanding my friends:)
