do you ever have one of those days?
of course you do.
I nearly just flung almost 200 papers across the floor.
I am at work. So I didn't. But I did make a moan/gurgle/muffled scream-type noise, as loud as I thought I could get away with.
You know, for all my talk about being such a brilliant Administrative Assistant (ok, maybe I only talk about that in job interviews) in reality I blow chunks. The final version of whatever I'm working on might be perfect and pretty, but let's just be thankful that my boss doesn't watch the amount of times I fuck up beforehand.
I can't seem to learn from my mistakes at work. Probably because I never work and so when they actually ask me to I have no oil in my cogs. It done dried up.
Or, that's such a lame excuse and what I really need is a cigarette and some deep breathing. Yes, at the same time.
What's the most annoying job you've ever had? And when I say annoying I mean soul-suckingly boring/tedious/a fucking robot could do it.

Oh that has GOT to be working in Cash Control at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. 7 out of 8 hours I was in this bunker 50 feet below the earth, sitting at a cubicle with a security camera literally a foot from my face, feeding money into counting machines. That's it. Then occasionally I would have to go collect all the cash from each individual little game (bop the mole on the head, squirt water to blow the ballon up, those kind of games)with a rent-a-cop packing a baton and a walkie talkie. And then when I left at night I would get a pat down and a bag search. And I always wanted to be like, "Look motherfuckers, if I ever steal a few thousands dollars from this place, it ain't going in my pocket! It's going up my asshole." Fuckers. The real kicker is I quit after listening to another employee and my supervisor talk about killing fags and how "No means harder" and got to have a exit interview with a bunch of their lawyers so I could get my last paycheck. They wanted to make sure that their "anti-discrimination policy" was "intact." Yeah, real intact. Whew. That was long winded as fuck. Sorry :)
whoa. I didn't know all that drama happened! you've told me about that job before but never about the bigots.
the worst job.....oh, such a list. one of the worst only lasted a day. i was working at a plastics manufacturing plant, i got the job through a temp agency. it was 3rd shift, which i thought would be fabulous, but after one night, i wimped out. basically all i did was stand next to another worker drone and pop plastic wheels onto metal dowels to poke a sliver of plastic from the center. he would sledghammer them out of a mold then hand the wheels off to me. it stank of burning plastic of course, we had to wear protective hearing- large headwear- it was hotter than hell, i stood for the entire 8 hours stopped over like a little hunchback and made the mistake of wearing a hoodie. to top it all off, i had to pay the fucking temp agency for a stupid "safety" kit which consisted of 2 cheap little knives and a pair of 2 dollar kevlar gloves, so i got about ten bucks for my efforts. maybe that's why i have an aversion to finding work through temp agencies....i want to personally see with my own two eyes exactly what i'm getting into.
That would be standing in a little dark room with KEZK playing in the background making copies hour after hour of people's tax returns for American Express. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz oh, sorry. I fell asleep just thinking about it.
