Wipe that smile off your face.


I've always find it difficult to strike a balance between trying/pretending to be nice and being outright and in-your-face mean. Most of the time I find myself choosing to be the latter.

I get annoyed easily with people whom I can't seem to get along well with. I do tell myself to be a little more patient and understanding. But some times my nerves get the better of me and I find it difficult to control my distaste and annoyance towards those who irritate me big time.

Recently, I gave up trying to be nice and chose to be genuine and truthful to my feelings. What's the point of outwardly being all cordial and nice, when deep inside me I'm cursing and swearing at you? That's being disgustingly hypocrital.

But I am not a hundred percent meanie okay? I believe that I am generally nice and only a small handful fall into my bad books, okay?

Being in the service line part-time for a few years has opened my eyes to how people interact with each other. We always have to be polite, courteous and maintain a smile on our faces no matter how difficult certain customers are. Somehow this constant facade that we have to keep up all day seem to make us somewhat jaded.

Ah well, the intricacies and complexities of human relationships and interactions.
