The Mirror At Work

I'm seeing my old self at work. Watching him serve a customer reminds me of myself about 3 years ago. He is hard working,aggressive,he never stops trying, and has no fear of rejection. Always eager to know how much other people earn from the sale that he missed. Always the 1st to react when customers walk in. That was me. And now I see that in him.

Now things have changed. I'm laid back and more relaxed at work. I got fed up with this place. I have more time for exam preparation and photography but that is just not my main purpose at work.
I used to take the shortest lunch and dinner break at off-peak hours when I was at Megamall. Worrying that staying away from the shop will result in missing a sale. But now I take one full hour breaks even at weekends. I don't care because usually there is no sale to miss. And while I'm taking things easy at work, he is there to take every advantage of it.
I don't blame him. He did nothing wrong and should take credit for his hard work. The only thing that I find irritating is his tendency to get involved in my sales.

It is tough to earn more here. Back then when the economy was good and shopping malls were few and far away, selling 3 cameras in a day is just routine. But now its the opposite.I sell 1 in 3 days. Sometimes less. And I have to work 12 hours everyday.*tiring* When there is no people there is no sale. This is not an excuse but a condition.

Facing my old self everyday isn't such a great thing.

I can't take this half day long,less rewarding job any more. I'm going to quit at the end of the month to prepare for exams in September.
