actually that wasn't the worst job experience i had....aside from my PTSD affecting me in jobs, i always seemed to end up in interesting? job situations....the last place i worked before i got on disability i was an office manager for a small office and there was only 3 guys in there--the owner and 2 other guys....one of the guys, who had worked for the owner for like 20 years, became bulimic when his youngest daughter went to high school---yes men in their 50s can get that---and it was a small office....i'd smell food cooking in the microwave....then about 30 minutes later hear him retching into his TRASH CAN then the smell of vomit! i went to the owner, cuz he had known him for so long, but oh no, i should talk to bruce...uh no dude....so he suggested i just buy scented candles and crank up my music!!!! the other guy and myself then BOTH went to the owner and he begrudgingly agreed to speak to bruce....well mike was a scientologist (if i only knew then what i know now about that! :) and apparently he suggested something scientology-ish to bruce cuz bruce started yelling at him that he was a christian and he wanted no part of his cult and HE QUIT....he stormed out....then mike came out and sayed "well i tried, you two should have talked to him"...i looked at greg who had the same look at me and i said "not our job dude, i quit too" and greg said "me three" and i doubt mike got a CLUE what he did wrong there....after that only his wife worked for him though! every time i think of this i smell the blue berry pancakes---both times ::shudder::

damn i had some weird job experiences!! i answered phones for an escort service too once...."what kind of lady are you looking for tonight?"....

we should have a weekend event, places i worked that i hated.... :D
