It was that time of the month again... the one time that I have to work the 11pm-2am shift at the Zone. After a very stressful and hectic week, I finished my physics lab and begrudgingly began the walk to the College Hall bus stop on Douglass campus. For some reason I decided to bring my iPod that day so I put on my headphones, turned up the House, and tried getting excited for work. The previous time I worked I was not in such a great mood/state of mind so I'm pretty sure Matt was surprised when I danced into the Zone at 10:30. I'm not sure if it was "Dynamite" pumping through the speakers or the fact that Matt told me we would be getting out early, but I caught my second wind. The crew did a great job serving all the cones and cleaning the space. They have definitely become more comfortable with the space and each other so I barely have to tell them how to do anything anymore.
Despite the fact that I often complain about work, I am really happy to have the opportunity to be part of the RutgersZone. I've been having a really hard time with getting all my work and school tasks completed lately and it feels really good to have people that are willing to listen and offer support and suggestions. I said it at the first staff meeting, but I really didn't know what to expect being put in this situation with six people I didn't know very well. I am so happy that we all get along and I have definitely made some great friends. I really hope that the crew have a similar experience and really enjoy the job and the people they work with. Waayyy too much emotion shared, very uncharacteristic of me SO DON'T EXPECT ANYMORE OF IT haha
Until next time,
Joelle
