I happen to be chronically ill, since i was about 17. Last time i visited my specialist, and i complained about being SO tired all the time and that it depressed me, he told me, i should view my disease and myself differently. He said: "Having Crohns disease, is like being an athlete, it's top sport for the body to deal with it, it's natural for you to be so tired,...it's the... Read More »
All choked up
While working at a haunted house last year, I was assigned to the "Saw" room. Pretty much, it was a guy in a Jigsaw mask attacking his "victims" while they were chained to the wall by fake shackles. My friend was the killer and he had to attack me when the strobe light came on. Usually, he would do this by "stabbing" me with a fake knife, but one night we forgot to pre-set the weapons. While my other friend Ashley was running around trying to find us a knife to use, we had to improvise for the first few groups. I told him to stage choke me for the first runs, and that I would just scream and flail until he "killed" me. He had never at the house so he was kind of new to this. A couple of minutes later, the first group was in the room and the strobe lights flashed on. I started screaming, and my friend attacked me. But instead of just placing his hand around my neck and letting me do all of the work, he actually started to choke me - REALLY hard. I tried to tell him that he was actually choking me and fight him off, but he kept at it until the strobe went out. He then turned on the flashlight to congratulate me. He looked confused to see me hacking and coughing like crazy on the floor. Turns out the guy had no idea how to stage choke a person, and thought that I was just a really good actress. He felt completely awful and I couldn't scream for the rest of the night or even talk for a few days after.
I used to be able to get back from lunch at 12:30 and know that there would be a fresh batch of uPick submissions to read, but now I have to actually do some work as it is not being updated everyday!!!!
Several years ago I worked with a overnight delivery company. It wasn't unusual to run into all sorts of dogs when you made a delivery (including nasty ones.) One day, I walked up to a lady's house where the front door was open. As soon as I rang the bell, I heard the jingle of dog tags & realized I was too far away from the vehicle to get back there in time, so I braced myself.... Read More »
I work at Wal-Mart as a Wireless Sales Associate (basically electronics), and we have this one reoccurring older African-American customer who comes in with the assumption that we are some type of IT or Geek Squad. Well anyways, he comes in about a week ago, and brings his laptop. The laptop that he has is a Compact with Windows XP (a bit outdated I must say). Anyways, he pulls... Read More »
I work private security, we have lately been having a lot of issues with access control and breaches (people not allowed to be there, being there.) so we have one officer who is in charge of training all of the officers in proper breach control. During his breach test, he failed and got a slap on the wrist. During mine, I passed but I missed a minor detail and got written up and... Read More »
