The 7 Types Of Co-Workers You Meet At Your Summer Job
Paste Magazine

Whether out of pure boredom, in response to your parents' persistant nagging or in a desperate attempt to come up with the funds to support your spending habits away at school, getting a summer job is inevitable. At this point in the summer, we've officially entered the vicious cycle that is work, get paid, spend paycheck, repeat. We've finally learned all of our coworkers names and can hold our own on the job. We've also picked up on the several different types of people we work with, such as...

1. The Scary Boss

This is the guy who is in charge that everyone takes orders from, without really knowing what his official title is. Regardless of what his position is, he is intimidating.

2. The Chill Boss

Every good summer job comes fully equipped with a chill boss. They are the ones that lighten the atmosphere and make approaching authority figures a little less frightening.

3. The Co-Worker No One Knows

This is the one that leaves you constantly asking yourself, "What's their name again?" You talk to them almost every day but the conversations are typically so dull that they leave an unmemorable impression.

4. The Co-Worker Everyone Knows

This co-worker is at the center of all of the work gossip and are responsible for a majority of the office drama. They've certainly made a name for themselves, and sometimes not for the best reasons.

5. The One Who Does It All

The One Who Does It All knows all of the ins and outs of the job and has probably been there for years. They're the ones who do all of the little stuff that keeps the entire system functioning in an efficient manner.

6. The Know It All

This is the worst type of co-worker to spend your summer with. They tend to be bossy and take way too much pride in their typically average work ethic. They think they know it all when in fact they really have no idea what they're doing.

7. The Friend

You started off as strangers but became friends throughout the course of job training. The Friend is the co-worker that makes coming to work every day slightly less miserable and serves as a constant reminder that all the long hours will pay off in the long run. Plus, who else would you gossip about office drama with?

Co-workers can be intimidating to approach, awkward to interact with and sometimes just downright difficult to handle. But regardless of whether you love them or hate them throughout the summer, they become your family, and you'll greet them with a smile each morning.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
