My boss makes going to work something I look forward to

My boss is the exception to the rule

My boss makes going to work something I look forward to
Juliarose Genuardi

Nobody likes work. If we had the choice as a society to cancel work permanently, there would be very few who would be opposed.

Knowing that having a job and having to work is an inevitable part of life, it is very easy to hate "work." Work isn't famous for being fun. Employment is famous for burning people out, causing stress and for being the last place anyone wants to be.

Not my boss. She's the exception to the rule.

She doesn't complain about having to work. I think that's what makes her stand out the most from most people I've worked with. Because most people who want to be somewhere other than work show it, while she does not.

My boss doesn't mind the daily chaos that goes on within our store, and if she does I would have no idea. Her work ethic is so strong, she seamlessly moves through her shift without much bothering her.

She likes to work and she makes work fun. I don't dread going to my job because she makes our store feel like a second home almost. Somehow her energy and passion for success and organization makes this job feel different than all the other jobs I've had.

The way she is never annoyed or bothered by her staff is one of the reasons she's the best boss around. She doesn't roll her eyes at anyone who is working with her, which helps the flow of our work a lot.

My boss also doesn't ever lose her smile. No matter how chaotic a day is or how long her shift may be, she never loses the smile on her face. She makes our customers feel welcome and helps 'work' feel less like work.

She's tough as nails because it's not easy to hold it together as often and as well as she does. Everything is always done when she's on the clock and no one is left with a mess to clean up on her watch. Because she works diligently, work is a lot less difficult and stressful for everyone else.

Now, that's not to say she hasn't had her moments. We laugh a lot when she's on the clock. We work hard together but something silly always happens behind the counter when my boss is in the store. What makes her the best? She's never mad when we get distracted by an incident, big or small.

She doesn't ban giggles or having fun at work. If anything, she encourages us to be ourselves and be close to the staff around us. My boss does more than just manage our store. She has made our store and our staff a safe, second home for us all.

Thank you for working so hard, for always smiling and making sure work never really feels like work.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
