Appreciated
One of the things I really like about my new job is that I feel really appreciated for the work that I do. I never truly felt that at my previous jobs. I keep getting compliments from the other staff for working so hard- something that I've never heard from former coworkers, no matter how hard I worked. And the consumers seem to appreciate the things I do for them. One of our more grouchy consumers that I thought never really cared about what I did for him said "thank you" last night after I helped him get his pajamas. Another one said last week, "I don't know what I'd do without you Elton." (He can't pronounce Allison) Most of them really seem to like me and appreciate what I do for them, as well as the attention that I give them. It's so rewarding.
In past jobs it was just about getting through the shift, dealing with crap, and getting a pay check. This job is so much more than that. I'm really happy that I chose to work there.
