Yeah, I admit. Being a student assistant has a few perks in itself. You get to know where to find the books you’ve always “wanted” (or always been compelled) to read, you get to establish “connections”, you can enjoy the subtle feeling of freedom being able to buy the stuff you’ve been saving some bucks for and make do with what little salary you earn, and you get to brag about balancing work and academics in your resume. But here comes the irritatingly bossy and annoying people who terrorize your temporary stay at the workplace. They notice the tiniest details in your work that you’ve done wrong, they begin to memorize your schedule and know that you’ve cut some hours of duty. Then they start a lecture on time management and all that shitty stuff that you always hear from your parents, teachers and superiors. It is that stuff that forces itself into your right ear. And it is the same stuff that you force to let out of the left. They’ll say something like “We know that you’ve always prioritized your studies but then you also have to understand that we need some help here. You should have known -from the time you applied for work- the consequences of your decision to take the SA’s job.” Yeah, sure… Blah blah blah. Talk about total crap! All I know is that they’re sparing their bodies from sweating and hard labor. They’re becoming too unreasonable. They should stop this all at once. Crappy people do grow old. But it’s an early onset process. Each time they blurt out and do crap, a wrinkle pops out. Always wondered why they don’t smile? Now you know.
