Summer Workin’, Had Me A Blast
by
Jim ShahinHe is 15. This summer, he is hoping to work his first real job. He has done babysitting and lawn mowing and dog walking. But he is applying for a real get-up, go-there job. He’s applied as a bag boy at our nearby supermarket, as a worker at a music store, and as a ticket taker at a local movie theater.
This summer, he will begin a scrapbook of his own memories. And he will learn enduring lessons about life.
Lesson number one: Bosses never know what they’re talking about. Your goal in life is to become a boss.
Lesson number two: Jobs are a drag, except when there are people who like you and will hang out with you after work and talk with you about what a drag the job is.
Lesson number three: Working is better than not working, especially if you get to collect at a house with blond teenage girls.
I have every expectation that my son will remember his summer job fondly.
