View Full Version : Best Day at Work ?

so i'm actually on break at work right now...today is my last day before i go away to college but i have to say today is the absolute best day of work i have ever had. I get in at 9:30 extremely excited to get my last day over with, and the store was absolutely dead for the first 4 hours which is a gift by itself. keep in mind throughout this story im already pumped and nothing can get me down.
so then someone came in and werent able to return their USB flash drive (they had purchased the wrong item and had no use for it) and gave it to me for free! I was actually planning on buying one today for college!
An hour after that this ridiculously hot girl comes in with a camera problem. we get to talking and before i know it she writes down her number and tells me to call her sometime.
THEN!--i go to get the same lunch i have every day (Panda Express, which is gourmet chinese food for you newbies). I'm good friends with the guy that owns the place because i go there so much, and after i tell him its my last day at work he tells me not to pay and have a fun time at college.
Last but probably not least, one of my coworkers approaches me and asks if he can work the last couple hours of my shift so he can get more overtime which means i get otu of work at 7pm!!
ill update this post if anything better happens but im out for now <3

Pray with me now as you read these words. Perhaps we can move the mountains together. Stay with me brothers, we have many miles to travel yet. Long and hard is the path that out of Hell, leads up to light. Listen carefully to the beat of your own heart, that sound can become a thundering battle drum. As you stare straight down the highway of life, use your senses. Don't look, but rather truly see the things around you. Breathe deeply, take in the smell of things alive and things that life had its way with. Feel the motion of all matter surrounding you; your senses are your weapons system. We've discussed how to keep our weapons systems functioning with zero defects.
The way we live is very spiritual and based on one's intuitive responses to the stimulus that is everywhere and part of everything. Part of my daily systems check is to repeat the mantra “gimme blood, gimme pain”. I know that sounds a little weird. To me blood and pain are the byproducts of the tests that befall me as I walk the earth. Blood and pain are no stranger to me than hair gel and yellow posing trunks are to many so called athletes these days. Without struggle, there can be no progress. Besides, blood and pain are coming your way sooner or later. So you may as well look it in the eye, breathe it in and ask that motherfucker for seconds, because that's how you stand up against the rising of the tide.

ehhh my day at work (lifeguard) was either awesome - no one was swimming so i just tanned/slept/listened to music/did hw - or it was shit. i mean even if there was one fucking kid in the pool, we had to watch him. id rather watch 40 people (the capacity) rather than one kid.
but im done with that job. back to school and back to seeing hot chicks every 5 seconds :)
oh and panda fucking blows. its more american than hamburgers are :rolleyes:

I don't think something that is basically fast food can be considered gourmet unless you live in a trailer park. Pick up stix blows it out of the water though but that's basically a restaurant.

Day in and day out our work compiles to aid to the foundation of what we call our bodies. Blood, sweat, tears; they all contribute to our gain and everyday is our best day, as we grow and build to become even better. That is the life of an animal.

Working in a german butcher shop, is like cleaning port-a-potties, you just catch shit all day long. I'm used to cunty old german women getting angry and start yelling in german. Sometimes they get particularly difficult, and my boss, has absolutely no problem kicking their wrinkled ass out (One time he wheeled this old guy in a wheelchair outside while he was yelling).
Anyway one of them was being difficult with me no matter what I said. This fat fuck waddled in, kind of like axel rose dances, and started demanding items she could not locate while speaking incredibly fast in German. They do that so the person behind the counter(me this time) goes, "uhhh," so they can say in English "Ach you don't even speak German, where is someone else?" After about 5 minutes of dealing with this, I turned and looked at my boss who was just laughing, hiding in the corner. I gave him the look (the hey jackass I've had enough look), and usually at that point he walks over and kicks them out of the store. He looked at me, shrugged his shoulders and just said, "so you kick her out." "Really?" "Yes kick her fatass out!"
Well a smile of satisfaction came to my face when she said again, "No one speaks German anymore in here, whats wrong with you people?" She went on and on for a few moments about what a sad world it was coming to without a German community before I got tired and said, "Ok, Ich habe dich verstanden. Ich hoffe, dass du mich verstehen konnen. Steigen aus." (Ok, I understood you. I hope that you understand me. Get out) She kind of just stared at me in amazement and I just had a big smile on my face that reached the corners of the room. My boss walked out and she looked at him waiting for him to yell at me, and all he did was wave good bye to her.

Best day at work was about 3 years ago. Up to that point, it was one of the shittiest days I've ever worked, but the following event cleared all that up.
I was at the copy center (I work for Staples) fixing something on the computer there and a lady comes in that was about 35yo with her daughter that was maybe 8-10yo. The kid immediatly went for the candy bar rack and came back with a chocolate bar, and the lady told her she couldn't have any. She puts it back but comes back with some gum. By that time, the lady was starting to get pissed because there was a problem with the copying machines and the girls working couldn'd do her stuff and it was urgent. She starts yelling at the kid saying no she couldn't have gum either, and she's really starting to make a scene. Finally, the kid goes back to the candy rack to put the gum back but comes back again with another chocoloate bar. The lady yells at her again, but then the kid totally owned her by saying: "If you don't buy me that chocolate bar I'll tell everyone you put daddy's dick in your mouth!!" I only saw everybody else turn around their backs to the lady and the kid and you could see all of their shoulders move up and down because they were laughing their asses off, then the mom took the kid by the wrist and stormed out of the store. Everybody in the vicinity broke out in instant laughter (customers and employees) and that made up for all the shit that happened that day.
Moral: lock your door when you have sex.

REFUSE TO BE DEFINED. The most crucial piece of information about a radical element is its refusal to be defined. You are a radical element filled with power. True power cannot be defined or put in box. You should be the same. Let no one corner you into a compromise or put you in a bullshit category. True power transforms itself so that elements around it race to conform to it. People and circumstances will redefined themselves when confronted with radical power. Never let circumstances dictate your
Actions. Search for a level of power that forces others to redefine who they are. Then when they have you sewed up in a pocket, radically redefine yourself. There is no right way. There is no wrong way. There is only the path you choose to walk and you... Solidified in your refusal to DEFINED by what you are or what you are not. Be RADICAL be POWERFUL and rage through this world like a freight train off the tracks.

I was at 18 then moved to 107. Look at the bottom of division 10 for our poor results :D It will be 9 years I've been working there in october, I'm kind of sick of it but I just gotta do it a little bit more until I finish school, so probably next year when I start my masters degree and TAs pay much better than Staples :p

My best day at work was when the machine i used kept breaking down.
"ALERT, SERVO Error : Axis not homed."
takes 20 mins for it to home. so i sat there getting paid waiting for it, at least 3 hours was wasted because of this error. but either, work in a 130 degree room while doing manual labor and breathing sawdust, or just sit outside where its 40 degrees cooler.
what an amazing day.

One time I was called into work (pizza delivery) to deliver some pizzas to the local schools. It's a shitty gig, but I had to help out my boss and he gives me like 40 bucks for 2 hours of work. Wonderful.
So during making these pizzas, a local business calls and asks if they can order 75 pizzas. My boss, being a douchebag and NEVER turning down business, agrees, then makes me stay to deliver them. I use his SUV (so it smells like 75 pizzas, my car wouldn't fit that many anyhow) and take the pizzas. The business people are really nice, asking me about myself and I tell them that I'm getting married in a few months, have a son, etc. So the dude writes me a check for the amount of the pizzas, 487.50. Then he writes me another check, for 200 dollars, and tells me good luck in life. 240 bucks in 3 hours. Sweet.

At the end of the year in 5th grade, the kids have to go through Sexual Education (SexEd), it a mandatory thing the state department in NC requires. I went through a very boring 7 hour training being very uncomfortable. I was uncomfortable because all of the counties 5th grade teachers were there and I was the only male. The diagrams and talk was just plain weird.
Anyway we broke the 5th graders in two sections, one girls and one guys. Of course, I had to talk to the boys. I discussed puberty (since most of the boys were going through that stage), boys body parts, girl body parts, and staying healthy. Anyway, the group of boys were notorious for being pure comedians but they were very quiet, probably because everyone was uncomfortable with the subject matter.
The funny part comes in when at the end of the session we have a little Q and A. I was teaching along side the school nurse (medical background). Nobody had any questions until one boy (who has been a thorn in my side all year, a fucking little wise ass which I knew would try to say something stupid) asked if there was anything wrong with going "from the butt to the mouth". Without missing a beat, I replied "Just having a bad taste in your mouth".

My question was for the principal. I asked him how he felt about Masturbation. The humor was that his name was Dick Spangler and all the students erupted in laughter asking him, "yeah Mr. Spanker, how do we masturbate?" probably one of my most triumphant moments as school class clown.
But kudos on the solid response to the ole' ATM question.

Doing pizza delivery I've had a few memorable moments but one sticks out in particular. One night when cashing out at the end of the night I noticed I found 100 bucks in my wad when no customers had given me to pay for food, I assume it was mixed in with some singles that a customer handed to me and didn't even notice. I waited a day for someone to call my boss when noone did I promptly spent all of it =p
