Adapting

Internship; I am adapting to the people and the environment of the workplace. It has been quite tough going through those few weeks when i first started my internship. I didn't know what kind of people i'll meet and make friends with. What kind of customers i'll have to attend to?

So to let you know, i had been working under retail sector for as long as i could remember but i had stayed with the same company before for 5 years. The first few weeks it was all about getting to know the products. Then the people i'm working with. I gave myself the least of 3 months to stay and try to get to know one another. I knew it wouldn't be easy but i stayed positive. Up till now, i still am!

I'm still trying to gain people's trust. The most crucial part when being at work; it's all about teamwork. Without trust, no teamwork and no joking around. I could never work in a place with limited laughter. It'll be so stressful!

I'm one of the youngest among the rest. Majority were ladies aged 30 and above. Imagine having had to understand and give in out of respect. But in a workplace, justice plays a part. There's always limitation to everything. 

So far i had seen and had been the first witness to experience an argument happened right before my eyes. That was due to miscommunication, stress and unhappiness relayed, giving out that most tension kind of vibe. 

Being a middleman; it was never easy. It's good to hear both sides of the story and being such a busybody trying to dig more gold out of it. However it depends on one if he knows how to justify the problem and not add oil to the fire. Unless it was being planned from the beginning that it was up to his advantage that he wanted to be the middleman to start a ruckus out of two parties. As if he was the Satan. 

I don't understand how two parties that were so close and we shared laughter so much would end up being sour towards each other. When one brought happiness to another, it seemed as if his good deeds weren't appreciated and that his presence was forgotten. When the other seemed happy and tried to return the favour back, it just didn't seemed satisfying at all. 

So being in a middle man, having both to be my friends - i could not be on both sides. If i did, one would not be happy. The worst thing about trying to solve the problem, did anyone of them truly show any sympathy towards how i felt? I don't know. There must had been some miscommunication. I believed both parties were stressed out; especially when they're involved with projects and getting sleeps late at night, sometimes in the very morning. Having had that kind of stress undergoing in them, it's really intriguing. In fact it built up the negativity. It suddenly became jealousy. Annoyance. Frustration. 

One word to make everything seemed better; Adapt.

If one could not take his sensitivity; adapt. If one could not look at one being happy; adapt.

So think again if you would like to help people by being the middle man. Have good intention? Go on but never give up. Have faith that someday they'll be friends again. You just need patience. 

After all i still do care for the both of them then yet again, someone had reminded me of a two-faced friend. Forgiven?

Well.. what do you think?
