The really rough customers are out to wreck your day, but they can only succeed if you let them. It's Saturday morning and, for many in parks and recreation, that means it's time to go to work. Excellent service starts with attitude We are responsible for our own attitudes.
People visit parks and forest preserves on weekends.
Starring on these days is a given. Keep your attitude positive. Don't let schedule, salary, co-workers, or nasty customers drag you down. Once you accept the opportunity to work in this business of public service, make the most of it. When I worked as a naturalist, I looked forward to weekends.
