I've learned an important lesson every time I've worked at a new job.
Before I began working at Sonic, there were many things I thought I didn't have to worry about in regards to operating as a consumer. Why worry about cleaning up after myself? Why worry about making messes? Why worry about taking too long in deciding what I want to order? Why worry about treating the employees pleasantly?
Then, I began working at Sonic. When someone else did one of the thoughtless things I previously had, it was like karma was stabbing me in the face.
I could go on, but I'm learning a similar lesson here at my new job. Previously, when I worked as an RA, I was not as diligent as I could have been in making sure my residents didn't trash their rooms before leaving. If I remembered I missed something later, I waved my hand and thought, Well, someone will pick up that slack during the summer.
Given my new responsibilities, that person is me.
I, of course, have been having fun. Yesterday, we lugged mattresses all over the place and even had mattress races. Regardless, I still wish I'd done a better job considering the heirs to my responsibilities, even if said heir hadn't been me.
We'll see how many times I have to learn that lesson.
