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 »
Teenagers are the worst
I'm an attorney in training for my local courthouse. We get petty teen cases for small things like "theft under $50, assault at school, etc". Since the jury is strictly volunteer or community service for teens, we have to do the cases that would be found humorous outside of the courtroom. We get our list of cases and the police report for each of the cases. The punishment for a citation "theft under $50", is 48-64 community service hours depending on what the teen jury decides. A girl stole eyeliner and condoms from a department store, and got caught. I found it funny, so I thought the smart thing to do would just talk to her about the incident and save her the embarrassment of testifying in front of the teenagers. We go into a room and I question her the generic questions like, "Why did you steal it?" "You know stealing is wrong?". Her purse is open on the table across from me and I saw condom packages in her purse and a used condom inside. I squint my face in disgust about why a girl would do that. She realizes what i am looking at and she turns as red as the devils ass, and takes out the used condom and throws it in the trash. No words were said at all. I told her, "Seeing as you have no hygiene, no respect, and I really do not think you've learned your lesson. You get 64 hours." She stood up crying, and as my supervisor walks in, the girl walks out. The girl then sarcastically says, "That was the best time of my life." My supervisor then eyes the used condom in the trash can. I've changed my field to medicine.
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 »
