Ask anyone who is employed, he / she has great chances of telling you that he / she is not happy with his / her job / work. I would also partially agree to it because of the limitations in pursuing my personal interests while doing my daily chores. But I was analysing few jobs which are very thankless (people seldom thank them). They are as follows
a) Traffic police (wo)man: Me thinks the last time one stood away from everyone else and that too at a stretch for few hours would have been when one was at school and was penalised / punished for not doing homework or for playing pranks. Hats off to these people who make it to the same place everyday doing the same monotonous thing of standing and may be waving hands at non-traffic light points. Just imagine the chaos which would have occured otherwise.
b) Enquiry counter at Railways: Just force yourself to repeat the same set of lines every few minutes and I am sure one would get bored repeating some common lines or even say favourite lines/lyrics. I really pity the patience of these people across the caged counter who repeat the same train number and timing may be to atleast 20people in a minute.
c) Waiters at hotel: Why just the waiter even the floor manager or the lobby guys (gals) who stand at length just to make your fooding in their restaurant on new years/christmas a memorable one. Imagine like you, they also have their respective spouses, kids and in a single word a family.
We are so engrossed in our daily work and so self centred that we seldom have time for noticing this so called petty things. To all the readers of my blog: Please note to say a BIG Thanks when you enjoy any of these services.
