OP, your job sounds like a very interesting short-term job. Stick with it for a while. The experiences are noteworthy. I'm reminded of David Sedaris. Remember, he was a Christmas elf at the mall. You've got great stories coming here. And if you're interested in acting, this is an awesome way to get your feet wet without committing to months of rehersal and kissing a girl that has a hairy upper lipin that love scene you've been dreading.

You are such a pussy, but at least you admitted it.

You should keep this job.

This will seriously make for job interview conversation when you're leaving college. Employers are going to ask you questions about it basically because it's an unusual job. You can tell the stories, just like you did in the OP, as solid examples of how you're able to think on your feet, work with demanding customers, etc. Basically, graduating college students are mutants anymore. They don't know how to communicate in any way, shape, or form, and I personally cannot stand to deal with that. I'm only 27, but I feel like things took a nosedive while my peers and I were in college.

AIM and email took over as predominant forms of communication, so people younger than me don't consider picking up the phone anymore in a business matter. Written communication is awful to quite awful. If I get a guy who had decent grades but a job like yours that required some thought to keep the energy going with a crowd, I'm going to seriously consider hiring him. You can spin a lot of what you're doing into transferrable skills if you go on to graduate and do anything that involves working with other people.

Look, I'm a management and tech consultant right now, and 75% of my job is actually figuring out what different groups of stakeholders want, get them to play nice with each other, build consensus, etc. And this is with a major consulting firm, the kind that hires 4.0 students out of undergrad business programs and the like. Our entire job is keeping the client happy and delivering what they want, and most of the client base is from a more senior generation that still wants to pick up the phone to ask a question, expect decent form in an email, and overall professionalism.

If you can succeed in keeping your current customers happy, future employers will look at this as proof, as long as you spin it as transferrable experience. Sorry for the mini-rant, but the issues you're going through with this "meaningless" (in the grand scheme) part-time job are more important to your professional development than you think.

LOL, I would pay to see him show up at a party dressed as PedoBear.

Keep the job.

It still sounds better than working fast food.

And infinitely better than tech support.

I think your anxiety will decrease over time. Sounds like you're doing a great job!

Really, I was nervous the first few times I babysat. I was like, "WTF am I going to do with this kid for 4 hours?" But after awhile, you realize that it really doesn't take all that much to entertain a kid.

The pay is pretty awesome, and believe it or not, you're developing skills that will serve you well in later life (communication, friendliness, performance under pressure).

There's always the possibility of a MILF situation...:evil:

Oh, TTIWWP

Well it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job, I sure as hell couldn't do that kind of work!
