When I think of summer, I think of fun times at the lake, grilling, laying out in the sun, and golfing. But with summer also comes one more memory- summer jobs.
The last two summers I have worked for the school district on the “grounds crew.” This means that for five days of my week, I am parked on my lawn mower. Doesn’t sound all that bad, right? Wrong! Let me explain my daily attire- baggy, oversized jeans, a grass stained t-shirt, safety goggles, ear protection, and neon orange safety vest.
One day I had to go into the school to use the bathroom and one elementary school student said to his buddy, “See, I told you it was a her.” That made me feel very feminine.
Despite the nasty, hot hours, silly comments, and ridiculous attire, I still loved my summer job. Working is just a part of my summer, and I have come to accept that.
