She comes in every day and refuses to talk to anybody. It doesn't matter how polite you are to her. She doesn't answer or smile back; all she does is say what she wants to drink.
I though to myself, "instead of assuming this chick is a bitch, why not try get her to open up and relax a bit. Smile.
Well, I wouldn't quite call it today, but she did talk story with me AND initiated it. It's a start. Before you know it we will be cracking jokes and I'll get this tough bird to smile. Life is not that serious.
What a great attitude you have! I'm sure your kindness means more to her than you can see.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
ReplyDeleteand I hope so....I see everyone else at work just make fun of her and make no attempt to say anything. That bothers me. Maybe I'm just more sensitive than I let on in that respect, but we are all connected (like it or not)...talking about her behind her back is only going to spread that negativity.
