What easy job?

When i was in college, our principal asked what we would like to do once we are out to the working world. So each of us took turn and one of them said, i wanted to be a waiter if i can. Principal asked, Of all jobs, why waiter? And he shyly replied - Cos it's an easy job.

Principal asked, Are u sure waiter-ing is an easy job? Then he kept quiet. I am sure he is a beginner in 'waiter-ing job' and he must be thinking all he gotta do is to wait the tables, to clean up after patrons left, serving drinks and taking out trash.

Any jobs in this world is never easy even to ie- receptionist. Yes you have to handle calls, relay messages and screen thru calls but who say its easy?
The recept in our office left and the girls who take over (rotation basis) told me its such an easy job. But for me they are not doing even well on their job what makes them think answering call is easy??

What irritate me is they even get the caller names wrong, spelt wrongly, go the message all wrong and cant speak properly what the caller want when they past the call thru. And they said this job is easy??

For me, its not a matter of what job you are doing regardless your status, age and race but its all about how good you are in your 'easy' job!
