Hey Y'all.... It's me again. I know it's been a while.
I've been at my contractor office job for about three and a half years now. Granted, I'm treated reasonably, fairly compensated, and not harassed. You'd think it would be a virtual paradise, right? Nope.
See, I'm also an art student. I'm a thirty-something that didn't understand her talents until one day somebody suggested doing art for video games...

I knew someone who got toilet paper from an employer……
Welllllll, so I knew this guy, someone from my past, who once worked for a grocery store over the summer during college.
With each regular grocery truck shipment, the store also got "in store use" store supplies which were generic cleaning, register paper, grocery bags, and other items -not the consumer brands...

Library from Hell
09/10/2012 by Death watch

Deerfield IL. Library has the highest turn over rate in the last five years . Why do we ask? The Head of the library is only concerned with herself and the construction of her new Domain. The board could care less . They dont give a crap if they lose some of the best educated employees and dedicated staff.
Remember in less then a year the new Pergander library will be opened and that is the bottom line...

Friday, right before lunch a call came into me. I said my intro and then the voice on the other end just started speaking in tongues. I was getting ready to ask him if he would like a Spanish rep, (although I was not quite sure if that was his language) when he started speaking perfect English:
"There are people out here digging on my lawn all the way up to my house...

Ladies and gentlemen, boy and girls of all ages..welcome to the idiocy that is employment. I've been in the workforce for thirty..count 'em...thirty years and it just keeps gettin' more and more rediculous. I recently went back to work for a company that I'd worked for about five years ago. You've heard that people learn from their mistakes,I'm the odd guy out,or maybe I'm just a masochist, or maybe I'm just an idiot, who knows...

Changing a Light Bulb

So how many people does it take to screw in a light bulb? Where I work it goes something like this. Names have been changed of course but the general business process here really is true at my workplace:
A light bulb expert tells only who he must that "There is a dead light bulb in the bathroom and I am going to change it with a 40W white florecent bulb because that’s what it has always had and there is plenty of light and it looks great...

Who's doin what
Posted on 10/25/2005 by old garbageman
Back in my early days, I used to be employed by Streets and Sanitation of a fairly large city. Many times, it could get very old and make you question your existence. Especially on cold rainy days. So...we used to play a game called "who's doin what". Who's doing what was played by taking a few extra seconds to examine the trash before you dumped it/crushed it. And if we got a good one, we could tell something about the people who live there. For example, we might be able to tell that Mr. So and So on Ninth Avenue likes to drink too much Maker's Mark or that Johnny Fastlane Jr. hosted a read full story »
