I've been debaiting on how to tackle this acticle for some time now. A couple weeks atleast. I guess I should atleast attempt to give a preview of what you will get to be reading for the next few minutes.
I'd like to describe my place of work, those I work with, and why I enjoy it so much. Why, despite its 9$ an hour salary, I stick it out. Lord knows I could probley find a better paying job, so there has to be a reason I stay yes?
Watanabe Floral Inc is a family run buisness, with around 80 employee's. At some point, the compay employed over 130. However, as times changed, and the company adapted with the market, jobs were lossed as two of the nurseries the company owned were closed. I say it is a family run buisness, not just because the Watanabe family runs it, but because it is a family.
How many work places do you know of, that honestly cares for their employee's? That are honestly happy, to see said employee's? Whenever I come into work, I'm greeted, smiled, and asked how I am doing. At times, by people I don't even know! Yet somehow, they know me. And when they ask how I'm doing, they actually care. Like a family, Watanabe Floral looks out for each other, supporting each when needed. Sometimes, without even being asked to do so. Thats family right there.
The best part of my job? Well, in order to tell you that I should first tell you just what I do at Watanabe Floral. I'm a delivery driver, for Mass market, and when needed retail. What this means is, in the morning I gather up the products we sell, and deliver/stock stores such as Foodland, Costco and Walmart. At times, I'll also go to PCC, and various Florists around hte sland. However, thats not the best part.
The best part, is the retails. Specifically, those delivered to hospitals. One could argue I could find a better paying job. Thats true. What I would never be able to find though, is the joy I bring to others. When i walk into that room, to see someone hooked to a machine to live. They often have the most depressed look upon their face. Then, when they see what I've brought them, they smile. That, is real joy. Thats a job with a reward. One where I can lay down at night and know I improved someones day. I made the world a little bit better of a place. I'll take a job like that, over any amount of money.
It's that reason, among the others that I love my place of work so much. Why to me, it's the best job in the world. We don't just deliver roses. We make the world a better place, just by doing our jobs. To me, thats what is greatest part of Watanabe Floral Inc.
