Hello, good people!
It's been so long hasn't it?. New routine you know and I need some time to adapt with it. Did I say happy new year by the way? hahaha I think I forgot, sorry. my bad. Yes, the beginning of 2018 wasn't that good but promising somehow. I (probably) lost one of my close friends, but God gave me another things to get busy about, kind of distraction. Let me list those "gifts":
1. Has built my own post office
2. Has became volunteer in Asian Games 2018
3. Has became volunteer in Asian Para Games 2018
I'm sure a lot of people will ask "why did you choose post office, ria?
Well, it because I'm a philatelist and a bit obsessed for having a post museum. Yes, I want to tell the world or at least my neighbor that we can learn a lot from either stamps or post cards. Even we can connect with foreigner to share some stories, feel like travelling around the world. Then I thought again, museum wasn't cheap matters. It'll need a lot of resources; human, finance, and props. So, I need another stepping stone to reach that goal. After all research, post office is the best way because I can help people surround me while I also branding my place. At least in the next two or three years everyone will know a house in Cendrawasih street is a post office.
The process of making post office, of course wasn't that easy. Passing through a long bureaucracy is a must. Promoting the new place every week should be my habit. Facing the customer is the most difficult part. I have many kinds of customer, old, mid-age, teenage, child, patient, talkative, fast-pace, picky, et cetera. Impossible to tell about them one by one, but the most remembered things that I learnt from them: be humble and kind to everyone. People do not care what university you from, how many foreign country have you been, or how good your English. They just need a kind person to solve their daily problem, in this case I suppose to help them sending package and payment monthly-bill.
Maybe some people think it's an easy peasy job............... I don't think so, dear. Because my goal from this business is the post office can grow bigger and hire some employees. Still long way to go, I know. But I realized sooner or later jobless is a never ending problem in my country, that's why I should create a job.
That's all a brief story. Will be continue tommorow (or tonight), I hope.
See you!
