Working in the retail and customer service industry is not for the faint of heart. One minute you're helping a sweet old lady find the perfect pair of shoes; the next, you're dealing with a Karen who's demanding to speak to the manager. And returns are a whole other adventure. It's like some people think the store is their personal rental service. Despite the challenges, there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of helping someone find exactly what they're looking for...or maybe it's just...

the night shift is not for the weak

Ah, the weekend - the two days where we finally get to do what we've been dreaming of all week: absolutely nothing. No work emails, no deadlines, no annoying coworkers. Just us, our couch, and all the snacks we've been saving up for this very moment. Of course, the downside is that before we know it, Monday comes rolling around again like a freight train. But that's okay. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. For now, let's just revel in the joy of being able to wear the same pajamas for...

The interview process brings about a whirlwind of emotions. It's like buying a house. After sifting left and right through job postings, you finally find a job you could see yourself doing. It checks all the right boxes: perfect location, ideal salary, and matches your experience level. You do your research on the company, and you're sold. If only you could just start working there immediately. But, my friend, the rollercoaster has just begun. Now, you've got to look at your application mater...

Simpler times

Searching for a job can be an exhausting process. It involves spending a lot of time scrolling through job boards, tailoring your resume to the job description, and writing the dreaded cover letter, all in hopes of getting a response. Which isn't even guaranteed. Even if you do receive a positive response to move on to the next round, it only means that you have to prepare yourself for multiple rounds of interviews, which can require hours of preparation.

If you remember when television sets turned off at night, you're probably in Generation X (or older). That's right, before televisions had a bazillion channels and endless entertainment to watch, TVs would turn off each night. They'd stop broadcasting altogether, and since there weren't that many channels to begin with, your TV-watching experience was just done for that day. One person mentioned how you used to have to adjust the TV's rabbit ears to get it to work. This is another thing that wo…

These people technically told the truth, and that's what counts. We all love a good dad joke, and the internet has a seemingly endless supply. There are people who are overly literal, and there are also those who can't resist annoying people with their goofy senses of humor. Check out these hilarious “technically true” moments below. Then, read about some of the worst concerts these people have ever been to, like one over-booked show where only a quarter of the audience could see the screen .

They did not nail it.

The wonderful world of relatable adulting memes can sometimes hit a bit too close to home. Sure, it can be occasionally comforting to know that something you do all the time isn't the weirdest thing in the world. Sure, it can be occasionally comforting to know that “you're not alone,” or whatever. But the truth is that realization is comforting only to a certain extent. Sometimes, you come across a so-called relatable meme that is so insanely specific that you feel like someone must be filming…

Yay for the New Year...

Generation X are just built tough. They're known for their independence in childhood that led to them being self-sufficient adults---but that's not the only thing Gen Xers have in common with each other. Growing up in the 1970s and 1980s sounds so ideal. We're still celebrating movies, music, and culture from that generation---I mean, which version of Star Wars are we on now? Back then, screen time was a bit more limited for kids. They spent a lot of time outdoors, playing with friends and ridi…

If you go to work and grind hard, props to you. Truly. Depending on the career you choose, it might be necessary to put in some early mornings and late nights. Work-life balance is very important, though. It's one of those buzzwords that everyone talks about, but actually achieving a nice balance takes some work. Some people really enjoy the grind, though. They thrive on waking up at 4AM to exercise and meditate, then work a 12 hour day, then brag about it on social media. These people will tel…
