Sounds right


Are you that bored, that you would try w/me the same tactics you use on the OOT teens? Really, you can't tick me off w/random insults, feel free to keep trying tho, I AM BORED, and it's quite amusing :D

Cami,

Please provide pictures of the Smiley: goat in varying angles and positions. Anything resembling Smiley: goat erotica will earn you a rate up for each instance.

Thank you,

Well I have had a few rather crappy jobs, nothing as foul as some of the things posted here. I did spend about five years at two different McGonads restaurants, and I ended up doing a lot of the slop work like scraping congealed grease out of the meat cabinets and melting my hands to the insides of the fry-o-lators.

My latest job was one of the best-paying gigs I've had, but giving up my soul to push computers in a retail setting never interested me, especially when I was supposed to be a repair tech.

One of my favorite jobs, though, was one of the most menial. This auto parts store was like something out of a Richard Russo novel: I'd sit behind a dusty, grimy counter smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee then every hour or so go out for a drive, usually ending up at Dunkin' Donuts.

I worked for a bit under a year for an internet startup company. The worst part was the waste. We had great talent, great ideas and provided services to other companies which they really needed. What could go wrong? Bad business model. Clients not understanding what they were getting or paying for. I quit: I guess I did okay for them, in terms of bringing in money, but I felt they should be better off without me. I took a much lower paying job and was much happier. I could have stayed. Perhaps we all would have gotten rich. As it was, they vanished in under a year after I left.

My worst job was when I worked for a Scottish lumberyard that basically did any and all carpentry jobs offered them. Their idea of safety equipment consisted of tying a rope around my waist and holding it as I put on the first row of shingles onto the roof of a grain elevator. Looking over the edge to see a 100 or so foot drop from a slanted roof with both my hands occupied isn't the most fun I've ever had.

you have my first on-the-books type job. I was only working the weekends at the time, but in addtion to having to assemble hundreds of copies of the Sunday NY Times, I had to politely inform people that they could not buy beer after 2am Saturday night/Sunday mornings. And every single Saturday night at 2:01 am, the store would flood with people trying to buy beer. Not one of them ever seemed to be able to make it to the store at 1:59. Ever.

Was also robbed at gunpoint 4 times, routinely had to deal with shop-lifters and drunken parking lot brawls.

It's a toss up between either the pretzel shop job, or the security one down in houston. Mostly because that one was in houston. At least with the pretzel one, I learned how to make soft pretzels. i can roll and tray a soft pretzil in under 8 seconds!

yeah, no one cares.

For me, my worst job was putting immunization shot records from paper charts into an electronic database at the nearby medical clinic, which I did for a summer.

I would end up having to work in a patient room, shifting from room to room with 30 or so charts at a time as doctors started to come into work. The hours were from 5 AM until 2 PM, with an hour for lunch.

What sucked about it was the fact that I had approximately two hours total of work to do a day, and I had to make it last over an 8 hour period, and look like I was busy. Not to mention if I accidentally messed up and inserted a bad date, I could wind up having the person double dosed on vaccine and the fact that doctor's handwriting really is horrible...

Yeah, not fun.

Edited because apparently I can't spell clinic.

standard issue white bread dough, roll into final pretzil shapes, then dip in a mixture of 1/4 cups bakeing soda to 2 cups water, then place on a baking tray and salt with rock salt (not table salt)

Edit: When they come out, you dip them in butter too. forgot about that part. we baked them at 500 degrees for 4 minutes, but 1- minutes on 350 degrees should do the trick too.

You lightweight f'uckers don' know you're born! why back in my day I.......


Scored a job as a stoney broke backpacker in a steel foundry in Brisbane Australia. Had to wear work boots, thick cotton overalls, 1/4" thick leather apron, leather oversleeves, leather gauntlets, breathing filter, helmet with a visor, safety glasses, earplugs and ear-protectors.

I stood by a work-bench in front of a giant furnace all day, with its door open to allow it to cool, and my job was to grind the sharp edges off those teeth that are fixed on the front of the buckets of mechanical diggers. Some were small, the size of your thumb, and some were massive weighing 30kg or more. They came along randomly on a conveyor belt, and were still hot enough to light a cigarette off.

It was fucking deafening. And because it was 35-40 degrees C outside, i cant begin to guess the temp. where i was standing.

For 10 hours a day with a 30 minute lunch break.

The other workers were all sullen, sorry ***** redneck types who were all deaf and poisoned from the fumes.

I managed 2 weeks before I cracked and hitch hiked to the beaches up north.

The guy at the work station next to me was 64. he'd been there since he was 15, usually doing his 40 hours plus a day of OT on a saturday.

He said, "its not so bad...I usually just switch off while I'm here".

Switched off for 748,800 hours of his life.


Poor *******.


2nd worse job was as a roofer in the Negev desert in Israel. 12 hour days, 6 days a week. from 6 degrees C, at 5.30am (start time) to 54 degrees C by 11am.

Drank 12 litres of water a day. Took first **** of the day at 7pm after 2nd beer of day. Got paid the princely sum of 100 shekels a day. (US$24 at todays rate) by the robbing Irish cnut of a boss.





Those were the worst. but I've done plenty of other crappy ones too.

Worst job I've ever had? I still have it. It's not a bad job by any standards, get to sit on a computer all day, but I have to work with the stupidest most untalented self-important *** hats I've ever met. Problem is I can't find a better job. Luckly god decided I've had enough and sent one of the stupidest *** hats to canada, only 4 left. ; ;

Don't ever work tech support, then you really get a grasp on the stupidity of the entire world.


Seriously, I had a call come in where a particular woman was convinced her computer was possessed by the devil because her screen was blinking red/black. Smiley: lol
