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.

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.
