11 Moments You Have As A Retail Employee Brought To You By Office Space

Working retail in general can be a pain. During my breaks from school, I normally spend seven days every week working between two different retail positions. So, to express this experience I am currently engulfed in, I have decided to use the cult classic, "Office Space" to describe moments relatable to anyone who lives the retail life.


1.) When you have to go through your annual review



2. When the beeping of the registers get to you-- so you start fantasizing.


3. When your friends ask why you still work retail


4. When you haven't had a day off in two weeks



5. When you are ringing someone out and they stare at you as if they are expecting you to mess up

6. When you get sick of the repetitive questions like "working hard, or hardly working"-- so you start becoming blunt.

7. When a customer asks you a personal question


8. When a customer tells you something you already know, but you're polite so you go along with it.


9. When you have to work with that coworker who never has a bad day


10. When you don't have to come in until the late afternoon


11. When by some miracle you finally get a day off

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
