Work???? Is that what you think I do? Naaa. I just go there and act busy III In reality, students work for a number of reasons. Money for gas and other car expenses enables students to ’’cruise around.’ go to movies, eat junk food, and enjoy other forms of entertainment when not working or at school. Other expenses are the new- est tapes and fashionable new clothes that call out buy me, buy me.” Working has its frustrations. People miss out on sports activities, family gatherings, dates, and parties. Trying to have a social life can be dif- ficult when you find that your name is on the work schedule for another twenty hours on the weekend. Balancing time may prove to be difficult, but there are many common excuses that aid in 'skipping out.’ The all time most common is I’m not real- ly feeling too well, so, uh ... I don’t think I’ll be able to work tonight.” Others may go a little more drastic and say. My sister is ill. But. that does not always work. The most popular places to look for work are at local restaurants. Fast food joints are always in need of labor. Pizza places find that high school stu- dents will deliver pizzas as long as there is a stereo to listen to. Grocery stores keep students busy getting price checks and stocking shelves. Other jobs range from lifeguarding to cleaning hotel rooms with everything from clothes stores and office jobs in between. The most aggravating situations can happen while working. Ron Wes- sel said his pet peeve is when the windchill factor is twenty degrees be- low zero and I have to bring carts in. Diana Raimondo said, My pet peeve is when I trip on the mop and slip on the wet floor.” No matter what happens at work, Pam Pensick agrees that it’s the worst when customers yell at me and I have nothing to do with it. Balancing time between work and other activities may be rough, but. somehow, students manage to work everything out and prove that working students have the opportuni- ty to live life to its fullest while learn- ing to become mature adults.
