I am an employee. Over the summer I would go to work for hours upon hours. I would deal with people, lots of work hours, the computer and printer, and the paperwork. It was not always an easy task. I wish I had an employee.
I would have an employee that would arrive at work with wide eyes and bushy tailed ready for the hours of work. Every customer that came by the park would receive a gracious smile and politeness from my employee. She would never have bad days where she was grumpy and took it out on the customer. My employee would know how to handle each and every situation that the customer flew at her, and she would not even break a sweat. She would calm rude customers down and fix multitudes of their problems. If customers ever got an attitude with her she would calmly explain the situation and hopefully be able to fix their problem with no further problems. Even after a nine hour shift she would still have a smile on her face and would be just as nice to the last customer she has as she had been to the first few that had driven in.
The employee that I would have would also be able to fit her friends and family into her hectic work schedule. She would never have to cancel any of her plans whenever she was called into work. And staying late would never fluster her, my employee’s plans would not be ruined and she would still be able to hang out with whomever she was going to, no matter the time she left work. And on Saturday and Sunday mornings, she would not complain about having to get up at six, she would take it as a challenge and try to be even peppier so no one would know how early she had to awake that morning. Nights she got off late would not be a big deal, she would not be tired and would still be as happy as she had started out the day. The employee would also not even complain about working so much, instead, she would embrace the hours and offer to take any one else’s hours if they needed off. She would appreciate all of the time she could get working.
She would also know how to handle every computer dilemma. No matter the problem, she would be able to fix it, and prevent herself from doing it again. If there were already an error in the work computer, she would spot it out and be able to change it without assistance or anyone ever noticing. If she ran into a roadblock on the computer while dealing with a customer, she would hurriedly adjust whatever needed to be adjusted and the customer would never know that there was ever a problem. If the computer did happen to have problems she would either know how to fix it, or who to call that could fix it. The printer would also work fantastically for her. It would never run out of toner while she was busy with many customers lined up. And, in case the toner did run out on her, she would be able to fix it, and replace it without having it spill all over the floor in the middle of the work area. Even if that did happen, she would handle it swiftly, break out the broom and do a quick clean up while handling the customers at the same time.
Another thing that the employee would do great would be the paper work. She would never mix up where to put the paper work for the customers that rented out the cabins, with the paper work for the couple that rented the Pavilion. She would also remember to always make receipts and mail the extra ones if need-be. If she happen to misplace some of her paper work, she would always be able to find it, or if not make copies and put them in the correct spot. She would also remember to write everything in the book, staple the papers together, and file them away in the correct location. None of her paperwork would be misplaced or lost, everything would be right where it was supposed to be.
While my employee is doing all of this I would have all of the time I could have spent in the summer sun, surrounded by friends and family. She would make my life less hectic and stressful dealing with customers, sometimes over-whelming work hours, technology, and paperwork. My employee would handle everything with grace and ease, and have a smile on her face the entire day she was working. I wish this could all be true.
