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 »
Windex truly is "Multi-Surface"
In high school I worked at the seafood counter at large grocery chain. I came into work one day and found the guy already on shift, we'll call him Vlad, with a line of powder neatly laid out on the cutting table. After I inquired, Vlad told me it was crushed up ecstasy and proceeded to ask me, and another guy (working at the attached meat counter) if we wanted some. We declined, and so he railed it all off the counter himself. He then promptly wandered off into the store, leaving us bewildered. Some five minutes later Vlad returned very concerned that his eyes were red and people were going to notice. Even though they weren't red at all, the meat-clerk and myself toyed with him and told that they were incredibly bloodshot. Now very concerned, Vlad grabbed a bottle of windex, walked to the mirror above the hand-washing sink, and sprayed it directly into his eyes. Completely unfazed he wandered back over to us and asked “Is that better?”. Stunned we just said “yes, much better”. I had to work another few hours with Vlad, and much to my disbelief he expressed no signs of discomfort. I never found out if he suffered later repercussions from the eye windexing, he was fired that day for stealing chicken wings from the hot deli. He was busted trying to smuggle them out in a box of latex gloves.
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 »
