When I worked in a drugstore, the teenagers who worked afternoons used to hollow out the stacks of boxes in the back room and hide in there to sleep.

It was always fun catching them. :-)

What was funny was how hard they were willing to work in order to goof off.

they actually slept?!?!

maybe i'll try it sometime..

Well, it depends how long they were in there before I got suspicious that there was no one out on the floor. :-)

They weren't the brightest bulbs, if you know what I mean; giggling and whispering to each other and wondering how I could tell they were in there when I had stacked the boxes there myself that morning.

ha:D

were you in charge?

why come teenagers sleep so much?

I wasn't a manager, but I was a floor supervisor, which meant I was supposed to worry about them whenever I wasn't worried about something else. :-)

Teenagers sleep so much because:

a) They're growing.

They stay up all night partying.

c) They haven't learned any sort of balance yet.

d) All of the above.

ooh.....

i see!!!!!

they seem kinda like monsters...

What, teenagers? :-)

No, most of them are great. After all, they're just kids. They're just transitioning into adults, and that's hard for everybody. There's lots to learn, lots of decisions to make about who you're going to be.

Some of them become monsters, but none of them "have to".

Even the kids who were hiding in the boxes probably didn't turn into monsters. They learned about giving their employer a fair return for their salary, and went on to become productive adults. It's just an adventure helping them learn that, that's all. :-)

when I worked at the theater, most of the employees had no work ethic whatsoever. All teenagers.

my sister is a monster:)

No work ethic, and pimples, are how I recognize teenagers. :-)

Most of 'em grow out of it.

Why is your sister a monster, little one? Is YKW grooming her specially?

my youngest brother is 19, still a teenager, but you'd think he was an old man the way he acts at a job, very take charge.

when i call her a monster i mean it in a kinda good way!!

lots of mood swings, likes to get her own way, thinks she's a rocker:) she's only 13.. and yes ykw grooms her specially:)!!!

what kinda work does your brother do staaaaaaary?

well he's in school right now, but he worked with me at the deli I used to work at part time, he worked as a special police officer on the island this summer, and now he works part time as a bus boy at a restaurant.

aww cool!!

i think maybe i'll take a nap soon...hmmmm

I'll take a nap soon too!

Just have to leave work, suffer through dinner, than I can retreat to my room until my mom decides it's time to harrass me

you can just sleep in work if ya want? maybe under the desk??

no, I can't sleep in work, although I can't say I haven't dozed a little at my desk in the past.

we just need to learn to sleep with our eyes open, that way it'll be less obvious:)

We need knees that lock, like horses, so we can sleep standing up. :-)

exactly what i was thinkin!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah i'm gonna go sleep for a while now...

bye for nooooooow

Snore softly, ladybug.

yeah, sleeping with our eyes open, I wish I could do that

have a nice nap blossom
