Burden lifted.

Today was such a disaster. Basically it was just me at work and being clumsy as always. Accidentally spilling Parmesan cheese powder on myself... Almost dropping this plate I was wiping... But then something happened that wasn't my fault and I got scolded. But if I spoke up for myself then I would be like risking unhappiness in everyone towards me since the situation was really against me. I didn't apologise because it was something I really didn't get wrong. Okay.. Here goes.
Well the problem was that I delivered food to the wrong table and the guest had already started to eat the cod roe pasta. But apparently I had been told that the pasta was meant for table 40 -_- and that was along with the salad on the tray. I even repeated and asked all table 40 and then I went to give the pasta to the customer. Well ended up it was the wrong order and the manager got pretty pissed with me since I was the one that passed the food to the customer. But wtf seriously I even double checked the order okay. After that everyone just treated me like I was hard of hearing or something like they keep repeating what table the food was for and like how many cups of hot tea or iced water or warm water. I was super annoyed since it wasn't me that heard wrongly okay my ear holes are there for a reason. I know I may seem blur at times cos I stare into space and think about things but my memory is pretty good okay and I can remember things fine. (not bragging) 
After that I was just pretty out of everything since I was just sad and disappointed that I was wronged and then I kept thinking about how I should have just not gotten a job in a restaurant since I was so clumsy and stuff. And I got chided again for looking expressionless. I tried to hold back my annoyed face already cos I didn't want to seem like a grumpy staff and spoil other people's appetite. But then I was told to smile. Well I couldn't do anything else so I plastered this fake smile on my face. It was really hard okay because there was a lot of unhappiness within me. I tried to amuse myself and try to make some unhappiness go away by looking at cute little babies and waving at them. It did help when the crying babies stopped crying when I smiled at them. I felt a little unhappiness go away.
Basically there were quite a few Korean customers today. It seemed there were more Korean customers than the rest today. I felt proud of myself when I could actually understand them hahaha. Maybe being language inclined isn't such a bad thing after all. Learning languages quickly and being able to understand people from other countries. But I should work on my japanese... I can't understand when people with heavy japanese accents start to speak in english. Like today I heard pepperoni as Parmesan... maybe I should work in a Korean restaurant since my Korean is better than my Japanese (Japanese I learnt from watching anime to be exact) 
Speaking of customers, my favourite customers would probably be like the American and Canadians since they're really friendly and polite when they ask for things. (especially couples!!!) And smiling at them just comes naturally. Well this is just based on first impression and there is probably gonna be other exceptions but this is my opinion hehe. The worst customers would probably be the locals... Not all but there were a certain few that were really snobbish and it felt like they felt like they kind of looked down on the people working in restaurants. But excuse me, without us would be there be you eating the food and serving the food right to your table.
Well I'm really thankful for this blog because I can spill out all my troubles here. I feel like I shouldn't complain to people because I think they have their own problems too. Although its fine if people complain to me if it makes them feel better. It's really nice to know that people trust me enough to pour out their troubles. I think writing long posts like this really helps me think through about things. Complaining to others might actually make me even more upset and i might like even cry. I think i would shock a lot of people if i just started crying... Because i dont show a lot of emotions on my face. Others might feel that I'm pretty emotionless. In a way that is true... But my feelings just don't show easily. 

Peace.
I feel so much better now.
