We gotta fight fight fight fight
If there's anything I've learnt/realised this holidays, it's that whenever anything is completely unjust in my opinion and gets me angsty just thinking about it, it is best to bite back. i dont mean facebook-flaming the other person (because it doesn't quite make a difference to the situation; rather, it just highlights your fear of confrontation). Rather, just do it right back in their face, at the moment they try to impose their unreasonable demands on you. We have to stand up for ourselves and not be a pushover (while mistakenly thinking that we are simply being sensitive and doing things for the good of the big picture). NOOO. DON'T. When they push against us, we push right back. Nature demands we do this; this law exists in physics.
I've finally finished my stint as a waitress. ANDDDDDD I've never been more glad that I didn't go into majoring in hospitality. Free food is great yes, but I find that I enjoy being served much more than serving people (: I want to smile at you only if I like you, not when you are asking me to order a Penne with Roast Chicken WITHOUT Roast Chicken. NO.
And one day, I will go back to the GODAWFUL Timbre@Substation where the service SUCKS (PLEASE BULLY US BECAUSE WE ARE STUDENTS) and I will video down their bullying ways THEN STOMP THEM! Write to forums! watch out. Until then, I am boycotting that GODAWFUL place... So what if you serve beijing duck pizza! I WILL EAT PIZZA HUT ANYTIME. Notice that because I didn't fight back that night, I can't release this pent-up angst against the awful waitress who served us that night. It's damaging to my emotional health, especially cos I keep thinking I really ought to have done something that night.
I've tried the whole I'm-not-getting-angry-because-I'm-better-than-you-are mindset, but unfortunately, many things get me angsty and I can't live that way without feeling powerless and oppressed. NO! BITE BACK. Catty old ladies, bitchy waitresses, bullying colleagues... BITE THEM ALL >:[
