H&A

Lately, or maybe for quite some time, I've been looking for another job. I watch things like The Office and I imagine myself having a job like that, having fun with my co-workers and doing stupid nonsensical shit everyday. Now I was just looking for jobs online, but then I paused and stopped. I then proceeded to think how I take my job for granted. For those of you who don't know (who reads this anyway? seriously), I work for my brother's mother-in-law who happens to be Japanese. Her name is Shigemi Haith and she's a dog-lover. I work for her and her company known as Haith and Associates. Since she's a dog-lover, she exports American dog food and accessories to Japan. My job is to sticker and cover labels on these dog foods to prevent a lawsuit or some sort(correct me if I'm wrong). American dog foods make outrageous claims with no scientific evidence. For example, Nutro claims to make dog fur coat healthier and shinier, but with what proof? Now that that's out of the way, I'd like to make my point: I love working there. I love my co-workers. I love Mrs. Haith and the food she cooks for us. I love making $12/hr. I love working whenever I can without the hassle of obligation. I take things like this for granted and as a first job, it's pretty damn awesome. I don't even get taxed from my paycheck since it's under the table, but then there's the risk of liability (but that's another issue that'll be solved next year). My co-workers are -for lack of a better term- old, or at least older than me. Most of my co-workers are 25ish and above and they're all characters. I've been looking for a job so I can have experiences like that of The Office. But the thing is, I have that already. My boss treats us like they do in Japan and that's an awesome thing. I love where I work and I'm going to regret the times I've had at H&A later when I get a new job; a boring job at a lame retail store such as Starbucks or H&M. The thing is, I won't form those kind of bonds with others that I have with my current co-workers. I know this because we see each other a lot, we all work hard, we all try not to disappoint each other, and we aren't afraid to ask anything from each other. I look up to every single one of my co-workers. I guess the point of this blog is to let those that I work with know how much I appreciate working with them.
