But, the restaurant simply doesn’t have the funds to install an AC unit right now
I have a love/hate kind of relationship with summertime. Being a college student is hard work, but knowing that summer break is coming keeps me motivated. I am a junior in college, and for the past three summers, I have worked at a local diner to help raise money for college tuition. Honestly, it is one of my favorite jobs because I get free food every time that I work. Sometimes my manager will even send the leftover baked goods home with me! My co-workers are a blast to be around, and my employer is a really nice guy. Another great plus is that they work around my busy schedule. I think the only downfall to my job is the temperature of the kitchen. There is no AC in the kitchen of the diner, and this makes working dreadful. I am a cook, and I am in the kitchen 99% of the time that I’m at work. Although I didn’t have any AC as a child, I have yet been able to get used the temperature of the kitchen. Cooking makes the kitchen so hot that I feel like I can’t breathe sometimes. As I said before, my manager is a great guy, and he wants to make his employees as comfortable as possible. But, the restaurant simply doesn’t have the funds to install an AC unit right now. It is for this reason that I have a love/hate relationship with summertime. I love that I get a break from by studies, but I hate that I have to work in a kitchen with no AC for over eight hours a day.
