Some people are just plain rude

I have treated people the way I wanted to be treated. I keep my composure in situations where I encounter rude, arrogant and self-absorbed people.

Today I encountered one rude individual. My uncle and I bought a few things from the grocery. Before going home we dropped by this bread store. While he was on the counter buying bread I sat down on a chair with all the plastic bags from the grocery when an employee placed a cup of coffee and a brownie on the table. Apparently it was for the [rude] man. He asked me if he could take the table and I said yes..A few seconds later he called my attention and pointed to the sign, which he deliberately placed in front of me, that says for dining customers. I just ignored him, hoping that my uncle would be finished soon because I can't carry all the grocery bags! He called me again and told me that he can't eat while I'm still sitting there! At that point I got irritated but kept my cool. Thank goodness my uncle was done so I quickly stood up and we left.

If we weren't in a hurry I would have told that man that I would dine there and that he had to find another table to eat because I was there first. All I could say after that incident was "Lord bahala ka na sa kanya. Sana maturuan siya ng leksyon."

No matter how great or smart or rich you are you have no right to treat people like that. As the commandment says, Do not do unto others what you do not want others to do unto you.

Disappointed

About a week ago I received a call from one of the companies I applied to. I had to admit going there was exhausting but not at all hard. I arrived there 30 mins before the time required. I went thru four interviews from the HR staff, HR Asst. Manager, Operations Manager and the Ink Manager before finally asked to take their exam. The exam was sooo long. It was already 6 PM and we (other applicants) still had not finished it. We were asked to return on the weekend to continue the exam. But before leaving the Plant we were assured by the HR Asst Manager that we're all qualified. The only thing that they need to discuss was the position that they will give us. The exam was for formality only.

They scheduled the continuation of our exam on a weekend. I was also expecting to know what our position would be. Again, we had to wait until 6 PM only to find out that they were still in the process of deciding whether or not to give us the job.

I was so disappointed. Although, i'm not really 100% sure that I will like the job due to its location and shifting schedule, I still expected that I will start this September. Now I have to start looking again. Hopefully, I can find something sooner before depression kicks in....
