It took me forever to understand why people called me "Sparkle". But once I realized it was because I like to spread good vibes at work it made things a bit more clear. I start to focus on actually doing this on purpose and it made my job even better.When people would begin to complain about how bad the work was or how much they hated being there I found myself walking away. And when some start speaking how bad the night is going to be I would speak out that it was going to be good. This really did annoy some folks. Sorry not Sorry guys.

Now while all that sounds good, everybody has their bad days. I have really bad days like everyone else but when I am I actually tell myself, "you're not feeling well today but it will be better soon." At some point in the course of the shift I still find a reason to smile because bad days don't last forever. Everyone gets tired, everyone works like a dog sometimes, everyone want to scream at some point. If you don't then I think there might be something wrong with you. Robot much? The really i\mportant part is how you handle it.

I can't stand drama. While that has been said by me in my own words, my life is full to the rim of drama. It really can become overwhelming. What do I do about it? I force myself out and around people. Not always 'with people' but just around people Somewhere public where I am most likely to see some smiles and maybe have a conversation. Somewhere like a coffee shop. How could anyone be depressed with coffee?

I take my day off and fill it with things to do but sometimes I start it by going to a coffee shop and I bring a notebook or even a new novel and I have me time. It may seem silly but really time to just do nothing and relax is important. Sometimes you need to just do nothing. Reading and writing are probably the two most favorite things I can do alone. It always gives my brain a little bit of a vacation from the stress of life.

The next day when I go back to work. I try and see it not just as a job but as an opportunity to be that smiling face that I was looking for the day before. People can say energy is not a big thing all day until they are blue in the face but I will still tell you it is the biggest part of everyday. If you purposely put yourself in good energy you express that same energy and vice versa.

Now, I get working with the same people everyday you get to see the bad and the good days. Even good energy expressed in the wrong way can turn bad. So what do I do when Everything is not going well at work around me? I tend to go into a bubble and just try and focus on the costumers. Thats why you're there after all.
