11 things I like about my job
Things I like about my job as an airport agent ✈️
- 3AM shifts!! I fell in love with my peaceful morning walks to the gate and realized I can be a (super) early bird. I also love this shift because I get to go home early (supposedly) and it makes me feel so productive and fulfilled in life.
- Split shifts can be fun sometimes. Work is divided into two 4-hour sessions make time feel like it’s flying. I can also go home to nap in between shifts which is pretty cool if I’m tired.
- I actually love the fact that my schedule can be different every month, week, and day. My day offs are random. It feels fresh and I don’t get bored of the typical 9-5 structure.
- I feel like an office worker (even though I’m more of a customer service rep) bc Im in front of the computer typing away
- I love the whole process of checking people in. It feels like a game (papers please irl)
- Working at the airport feels fancy, something I can feel proud of talking about with friends and families. I also like the lil scarf (makes me feel like a flight attendant)
- The airport is also simply a great place to work at. The view is so pretty, I love looking at airplanes.
- I met pretty cool people and made new friends physically (something I haven’t done in a long time)
- Free water everywhere. I can bring my cute ass tiny bottle because I can just refill it anywhere (in the break room, in the office, or even in 7eleven)
- Accessible. Sure it takes an hour to transit but at least it’s only two buses and the walk isn’t far so I can leave the house on the dot without extra wait times.
- Future benefits like free flights (where I only need to pay taxes!!). Once I’ve been working for more than 6 months I think that’s when I’ll be eligible for a buddy pass.
I never knew I’d be feeling content in life being employed. I never thought I’d say this, but I’m happy here and I hope I get to keep it.
