What It's Like to Work Two Summer Jobs

Let me tell you, customer service isn't easy.

Working in customer service can be hard. Working in two customer service jobs can be chaotic. People who have worked two summer jobs understand the stress and the responsibility that accompanies it. Is it worth it? Maybe you'll just have to read this article to find out.

1. Getting ready super fast.

Who cares if you brush your hair in the morning with a broom? I know I do!

2. Eating anything, anywhere.

I can eat a meal in five minutes now. I think I'll add it to my resumé.

3. Changing uniforms several times a day.

I've forgotten what it's like to wear street clothes.

4. Being able to relax anywhere.

Yes, I could sleep on a snake. Okay, maybe not. But you get the idea.

5. Getting very tired.

Seventy hours a week. Sixteen hours a day (well, not every day). Time becomes irrelevant and sleep becomes a rare commodity.

6. Ignoring your phone on your day off.

Sometimes you have to let your kite fly.

7. Sleeping very restfully when you get home.

And by sleeping restfully, I mean thrashing because of that dream you had where you forgot to give locker keys to any of your customers.

8. Needing a therapist when you get home.

Because customer service is hard and parents (and cats) are therapists who don't charge.

9. Charming the pants off of your customers.

It's all in the hair flip, the funny jokes and the gentle customer service voice.

10. Going a tad crazy.

You have to watch your attitude carefully when you work two jobs. Although it becomes harder to keep your cool in tough situations, it becomes even more important. Sometimes, your cat is your only connection to your sanity.

11. Complaining a lot.

Sorry, friends. I try not to complain, but sometimes, it happens.

Working two jobs is great, but you have to be ready to commit. It's not going to be easy, but it will be worth it in the long run. Warning: do not attempt to get a second job without first purchasing a stress-relieving, fluffy animal, such as a cat, a bunny rabbit or a gerbil.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
