I don’t understand what was going on. Why did God arrange for me to work in this stupid job in “Credit Control” department? At that time, we were working for a small local company, and the CEO of that company was trying to expand the company big. As long as he had the vision, he would press on with his idea no matter that the back-end and the IT department was not 100% ready yet. On hindsight, I think I’m quite like that CEO (haha, thick-skinned me!), because he said we only needed 70% readiness, and the rest of the 30%, his team would fire-fight all the way! 😅 Remember I said in ___ that too much planning can backfire on you? 🙌 I sure think like Mr CEO! 😂 Of course at that time, I thought him an ass 🐴, but now I know why he was hired for the job! His results showed! 👍💯 So as I said earlier, for my husband and me, our shy and quiet personalities meant that our jobs were a huge mismatch! I said in ____ that I was ‘naturally’ very quiet and sometimes I became sullen, well, I could not present that side of me in the office. Could I? 🙄 I had to keep my job no matter what it took! 🤐🤐🤐 So I had to be courteous to the customer, and I had to tell him that I valued his business (never mind that he did not pay the company for use of our services!) Even my Manager was polite and courteous, and she said: “Sorry, sorry, sorry” all the time, so that was the direction she set for her team. I remember that there were occasions when even though the customer was a bad debt, she still had to write an apology to the customer, and offer him a $2 cashcard as a token of our goodwill! 😱 I asked her once why we had to do that, and she told me that it was not a matter of the $2 cash card, but that some customers just want to feel important. And in her opinion, it was better to keep matters low key 🤐🤐🤐, than to have the customer escalate it to the CEO, or the media, or whichever channels they could take to blow up a small matter!!! 💣💣💣💥All that mattered was that the company’s reputation was good and intact!

So guess what happened? Of course it was ‘monkey 🐒 see, monkey 🐒 do’ for me! Whilst I was on my best behaviour at work 👼,  I was the ‘devil’ 🦂 outside of work! I figured that other people were also stuck in the same predicament as me, and they also had to keep their jobs no matter what! So as long as things did not go my way (for e.g. when I felt that the salesperson was providing sub-standard service to me), I would scream 🗣💥and shout 🗣💥at the top of my voice at the salesperson. And if the customer service personnel over the phone could not solve my matter on the spot, I knew that if I wanted to get my way, I would have to escalate to their Manager. I sure learnt all the bad things in my “Credit Control” job!!! 😅 I learnt how to complain, and I also learnt what kind of ‘obscenities words and vulgarities words’ I could use to get my way! As I said, it was ‘monkey 🐒 see, monkey 🐒 do”. Even towards my husband, I could not hold back. I remember there was one time we were at the travel agent (at that time, travel agencies were not as ‘regulated’ as they are now, and there was no Casetrust kind of thing), and the service staff insisted we pay up our booking in full, even though the tour departure was not confirmed. I just lost my cool and yelled like crazy, in front of all those people in the agency! My husband and my sister, who was with me then, I remember they gave me a imploring look to stop ⛔, but I just couldn’t! I behaved exactly as I was treated in my job!!! Try as I might on that occasion, but I just couldn’t stop! 😱 It was like all the pent-up frustrations and the anger and the hopelessness just came out in angry words!!! 😠😡😭😭😭 In my mind, I thought 💬: Why should I give her a break? Does anyone give me a break when I am getting scolded at work? No.  So why should I? 

Of course I am not telling you this story to show-off what a loser I was. But continue reading my story, and I will tell you how Feng Shui helped me to change my angry loser attitude around. Feng Shui can help you even in handling people matters. Today, all the service staff (e.g. facial therapist, massage therapist, shop owners, to name a few) who service me love me. They 💞love💞 me, and of course they love my business! 😂 Because I am very good and very kind to them, and I am also generous, and I always say “thank you, thank you, thank you so much! (even though they are just doing their job)”. As a matter of fact, many service staff have become friends of mine who I even travel with! ✈ Thank you, good Feng Shui, for helping me to get my sanity back, and for giving me a peaceful and loving life back 🕊. I’m so grateful! 🙏
