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 »
I'm taking weekends off, buddy.
I work at a small auto shop. By small I mean it's me, the boss, and another mechanic. My boss buys cars from insurance auctions, fixes them up, and resells them. We do all the work in his yard, with barely-functioning equipment and tiny shops. There is no running water or toilets in the shops, so I either have to tough it out or take off my greasy shop clothes and go in his house because he doesn't want it dirty. In the winter I have to shovel his driveway and sidewalks, and freeze my ass off digging parts cars out of the snow. In the summer, I nearly die of dehydration because he refuses to turn the air conditioning on. He expects me to work every day of the week, and gets pissed when I take breaks even for family events and holidays. He also makes me do a lot of random bitch work like picking up his wife's prescriptions from the drugstore, driving halfway across the state to get his precious deer antlers scored, and driving his drunk ass to and from bars. I have ADD, so I have a hard time remembering little details, but every time I forget something he could have easily done himself in ten seconds he bitches me out. I finally told him I'm looking for another job last week. At first he seemed fine with it, but then he realized I'm the only sucker willing to fix his cars, so he's trying to convince me to keep working on the weekends. Not a chance in hell, you prick.
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 »
