Fireball

Just like when one push of a domino could create a blowout, I am in my most vulnerable self as I struggle to take hold of my patience and deal with people with kindness and understanding but I couldn't.

When I arrived the gym, I found that my shoe locker was locked by a plastic string and was told to see the towel department. I went and asked but there was no reply. The man followed me to the gym and then flipped through his chart and cut the string out. I asked for the second time but the reply was, "Misunderstanding!" I went to the reception and asked if the manager or supervisor was around and was told to "just" write my comment or complaints and drop it in their comment box. I went ballistic.

If I am a fireball, the rest of the people in the gym probably died from sheer heat. I got no reply and no explanations and I was late in my gym class. To add insult, my trainer didn't even extend fifteen minutes more of her time even if she is free for the next four hours. When I had my training after two days and still with no explanations, my trainer then met me five minutes late and then dismissed me five minutes earlier. When I asked why the sudden changes, she gave me a shrug. Argggh!

I was home and was giving this thing a thought or two. Then it dawned on me that these people probably go to their respective jobs to do a not so respective work because they are not motivated. They know nothing but just be present in their posts. I am assuming that they are bored or stressed or have no fruitful thing to do but accept the only work available at the moment.

In a way I am also beset with stress the whole time. The thing I need to do is to understand situations and people. I need to remind myself that not all could be like me and that everyone is different. I needed to be more tolerant and give things a different perspective. I needed a vacation and the coming holidays is much awaited as I will be out of my usual routine. Everybody needs a break and everybody deserves one. Have a great break to all and happy holidays.
