I LOVED that....until my wonderful Boss told me one day that unless I had the time (we were short-staffed) to chat, not to ask how they were doing. He was a great Boss and knew the way I am, so it wasn't a put-down on his part, only a little advice on finding a way to make the conversation shorter while not hurting their feelings. I always honour that Boss in my mind, just one more thing he taught me....  |
When i worked at a bar, i became good friends with allt he regulars and id often sit and chat and play suduko on a quiet late afternoon and give them a hug when i saw them or when they were leaving.
I always think a hug is a very nice thing to do for someone too, its amazing how a little bit of contact and friendliness can make someone feel so much better after a bad day,
luba id love to meet you one day, you are such a nice person!
