Thoughts from Work

Going to leave for work soon. Today's my second last shift! It's a Cafe Matinee; I took Gina's because she was looking for someone to take hers because she had previous plans, and I just happened to be there looking for someone to give up their Cafe Matinee shift to me! I was originally going to ask for the Wednesday Matinee shift so that I could take a break on Tuesday (today), but that didn't happen.

People are actually going to miss me there. I didn't know that they liked me at all. Maybe it's because I'm open and honest with them, and I help them out all the time. (by open and honest, I'm not afraid to let them know that I don't know what's in the concession popcorn combos--though I know them now--because I was never trained on concession like I was supposed to be... just for an example). Hmm... I dunno. I'm really not much of a Team Leader. I still feel like just a regular employee, and I think that might also take into account for why people like me; I didn't get all bossy when I donned the huge blue Team Leader shirt.

Still, my leadership skills are nothing to be proud of, but I must admit that I think they're better than they were before. The new employees are always surprised when I tell them that I'm actually very shy.

"You don't show that you're shy" they say.

"I can't be shy in this position; there's no room for shyness," I say back.

Cuz you really can't be shy in a Team Leader position! You have to take charge and make decisions on you're own.

The one new guy on Floor was surprised to find that I'm quitting even though I'm "a really good team leader. You're crew really respect you and listen to your requests without complaints. We need more team leaders in the working work to have the same qualities as you where respect is shared among everyone."

Or something like that. It was midnight on Sunday night when he said that, but it was close to that.

It's just like, now that I'm leaving, everyone is telling me how much they like me as their team leader and they don't want me to go.

Isn't that always the way though?
