When looking back the past few weeks, I understood that most of the people do not like to read or watch any more about Corona. Corona, Corona… What is this? I think it increases that pressure when living with it. When does shit over? However, when you are getting angry with this situation, please remember that this is a result of human actions. Okay..? I too believe that it's good to focus our mind on different productive things in this stage without thinking about it in unnecessary fear. So, I believe the time and effort you put here to read this article is a productive thing for your lives. Lol...
After the previous article that was written about a balanced mind, I don't expect to write any more about this global pandemic after this analysis. So, today I'm moving back to reveal another stage of jobs I did. It's all about the people I dealt with though they were not my coworkers. But they helped us to do our job in various ways. This is a lovely gift for all of them. I know none of them won't read my article. It is not the purpose either. I don't expect them to read. But you, the one who reads this can think more about them than earlier. I believe that this will help to have a new view of them. You will look at them in a different and nice way.
As I said in the post, A lovely gift for IT guys..., that work exposure changed me. I could say that it happened for both good and bad sides. Later on, I’ll explain what are those bad sides? Please be patient… When I was leaving my home to join with that job, I could not manage my stuff without the support of others. Somehow, I wanted somebody for my support. So, the very first month was a horrible one for me. From beginning to the end of the day consisted of challenges apart from the work stuff. Among all, washing clothes was a big headache, and I used to bring my dirty clothes home and bring them back after washing when I was coming from my home.
When thinking about it now, I know how silly it was. Lol... So, I carried a huge bag on Fridays and Mondays for this purpose. Meantime, I was like an employee of a courier service company. When my parents asked me to give seasonal fruits kind of things to my uncle, then that bag was full of all those stuff. One day I brought some mangoes from home.
We had to keep our bags in the outside and sometimes I forgot to bring it back when leaving the office. So, on that day, my bag was filled with washed clothes and mangoes. I kept it on a Monday, and I forgot to take it on Tuesday also. So, when it comes to Wednesday, I could feel the smell of mangoes and security guys also questioned about it from me. The same thing happened a few times. Therefore, those security guys used to remind me about the things I brought when I'm leaving the office. Lol...
When remembering them, I have a nice memory of them. All of us were kind to each other. They were the people who greet us when we were entering and leaving the office. So, it was nice to have a small chat with them in these two moments. Some of them gave gossip tips and I think they let us come up with more details. So, there was a good relationship among some of our colleagues and them with regard to the sharing of gossip information. Lol... There was one lady and we knew that weakness. As we could not bring the stuff to our cubicle areas, we passed some foodstuff to our cubicles while letting her talk with one of our friends. Though it was a small cunning work done for a few food packs, it burnt a few liters of our blood. One of our colleagues said that it's totally fine because we did it for a pregnant lady. However, we were a greedy gang when she was eating that special food. Lol...
Apart from them, the team who brought tea and snacks for us did a great job. They were very friendly to us. I remember the way they served Tea as per the different requirements of us. Some of our colleagues wanted to have tea or coffee with a little sugar and some of them wanted plain tea in the morning and coffee in the evening.
Some of them wanted to have sugarless tea. Sometimes our ladies and girls changed their requirements very often. Lol... Those days I was late to go to the office on Mondays as I was coming from my home. As there was a flexible hour’s schedule, it was not a problem. So, morning tea time was over when I was going there on Monday. But they were kind enough to give my tea irrespective of their schedule.
One day I met a Tea uncle in another office. There were a few friends who worked with me in an ex-office. So, it was a nice meeting with that uncle and our gang. It was an innocent get together where we shared and reminded our joyful memories. At that time also, he asked whether I would like to have a Tea.
The people who did the cleaning service is the other crowd. If I could not put a note about them, then it is lacking. Some of them were friendly to us. The time we used the washroom was the time they used to reveal their life journeys. Most of them were filled with many difficulties.
There was one lady and she was old. She had her grandchildren too. When I was looking at her, always I thought that she is not physically strong enough to do cleaning stuff. She said that she is leaving home around 5 am to come to our office. So, it was not an easy job for her. However, she did not worry about her job or physical conditions. She came every day and did her job well. When our team gives a small gift to her at the year-end, she was so happy. Apart from her, there was one young gent and one of his kids had a tumor in the brain. For surgeries and medicine, our office crowd helped him a lot with his expenses. There was another lady and she was a bit tough. She blamed the people who did not keep the washroom clean. She used to say “now we are cleaning the others bladdy shits because of the bad karma we did in our past. In the next ego, you will do our job”. However, nobody talked against her though we had to hear that curse when she was working on our floor. I was happy about our reactions as we could see her inner war.
The others were the drivers who gave transport to us when we were working till night. That office arranged cabs for us to go home. They were very disciplined people, and I think nobody made a complaint about them. Some of them thought we have a wonderful and happening job life. I think it's because of the chit chats we had with transport buddies. Lol... Some of them understood our real situation. They knew how hard time we had with such a work schedule. So, they instructed us to keep our health. There was one mature person and he always asked us not to use cold water for shower after working till late at night.
Regarding the coworkers, I could say that I'm lucky to have a few lifetime friends. Apart from them, I had a professional relationship with others. As everybody was not good for me, I was not good for everyone too. As I had a blacklist, I was in some other's blacklists too. As you know it cannot be avoided. So, looking back past, it was a wonderful journey to rewind. Some incidents gave good lessons for life. Still, there are some improvements to consider. But I hope that awareness directs me to the best path.
I think this is a bit long article when comparing to previous posts. I can write many things. Though there are many things to talk about "People at the workplace", I don't think that it is useful for you all. Here, I'm revealing this side of people because of one purpose that I have mentioned at the beginning.
The other important thing is, my career journey did not go with the other's favorations. It is all about hard-working, enormous effort, and courage. Apart from the financial benefits that I'm gaining today, that is the most rewarded thing I can share with you as a person who dealt according to the conscience.
