Before I Hit This Blunt and Forget

Jun 11, 2006 23:59

It occured to me today that I've had a lot of jobs where I've had to deal with customers. This is funny because I've been this really shy guy my whole life. My parents would make fun of me for being scared to make pizza delivery orders over the phone. I even used to be scared of ordering food at fast food resturants. This is how bad my shyness was. Even to this day, I won't do certain things because I feel really nervous. One would be hitting on a girl. To this very day, I've never really "hit on" a girl sober. Liquid courage is strong in me.

Anyways, back to the point of this whole thing. There are times when people are checking in or out and I get really nervous. I know they can tell because I start sweating like I just ran the mile. No joke. For example, today I was checking in this family and of course there was this really cute chick. I glanced at her and the sweat started coming. It didn't help that there was a problem with their reservation so I started sweating more. Right after they left I stopped sweating immediately. Working front desk at a hotel really is no job for someone like me (although I do admit that I'm pretty damn good at it), but I hope this helps me get over the fear of people. At least I'm facing my fears.
