Rant Rant...
I'm just going to be ranting in this post so whatever things that sound unreasonable its because I'm ranting.
In this world I'm not surprised to see how people almost always respond quickly to an order or demand, whether it be from a boss or a customer. On the other hand when people make requests or ask for some little thing to be done its more than likely ignored. For most of my life this has happened a lot. Typically I ask some little thing and many people tend to ignore me or say some excuse. Like I ask "could you ..." and I would get the reply "Sorry I'm too tired..." The reason I believe for people doing this is its because of my "nice" nature so they can simply brush it off saying "oh its just Marcus." Maybe it sometimes feels that I do a lot of stuff for others but seem to get little in return. Granted I don't mind because of my helpful nature but sometimes I think what if I was to not help out so much. That would more than likely get people's attention because it might be like "Marcus can you ....?" and if I were to be that mean/unhelpful I would say "no.."
This happens at work for me since I do a lot of crap for the servers because they ask me to help them out and I do. I know that helping out the server would expedite the whole service for the customer. Although I've noticed how much I do for the servers but little the servers seem to do for me. Most of the time I get "thanks" or "thanks a lot" or my favorite "I owe you one." The last one is my favorite because I don't think many people understand that phrase. Since that means if one were to tally how many times someone said that then you could essentially get them to do stuff for you until all the times they owed you was evened out. Everytime I go to work I almost always anticipate the servers to ask me to do a lot of stuff but I doubt that they will remember half the things I do for them. Althought when I started working the servers were cool and actually noticed how hard I worked to help them. They would try to do things to help me out. Or going so far as giving me an extra $5 tip in addition to the tip out the servers have to do when they check out. Unfortuantely for me all those servers have quit so I'm left with people who are jerks and treat me like crap.
I don't even know if any of this makes and sense at all. I'm just ranting just to get it out of my system so I don't go crazy.
