What .. I have to, like, talk to people?

The manager pulled me aside again today. I thought I was getting canned. Nope. She told me she wants me to work on my customer service skills ... I'm not cheery enough, not smiley enough, not chatty enough.

I simply cannot master the fake smile. Whenever I attempt it, it always, always looks wrong. I look downright sarcastic, or mocking, even. Or just really nervous and uncomfortable. I hate the fake smile. So how am I going to keep myself looking cheerful? I mean, it's not like I feel miserable at work or anything, I just don't always feel natural smiling all the damn time. I suppose I'll have to think happy, happy thoughts as often as possible or something. Or take drugs.

I'm so fucking shy. Seriously. I don't know how evident that is in this diary, but take my word for it. I am a mouse.

*Squeak*

Someday soon I'll go into more detail about that. I don't really feel like it at the moment ... I feel like reading other people's diaries and doing online tests and thinking about what to buy tomorrow when I get my first paycheck. Stuff like that.

This customer service thing isn't going to be easy. It's going to take all my guts and concentration.

Argh. More work. Just what I needed.

*Sigh*
