Employed and happy

I worked at a burger king for the summer after high school, let me think if I have any stories...





... OMG. The horror and tragedies of life. Why must you resurrect such memories.

I never worked at a fast-food store but my brother did, he got fired in style. Some old lady with grandchildren asked for something nice and he told her she could better go somewhere else, manager was standing behind him and he was layed of. The same manager who was impressed with his mathematic skills when baking burgers, I don't understand that either but by that time my brother was designing the screws (propellors what's it in english) of the Queen-Mary (yes he's smart I am the pretty one)

Now, now Frags, I don't think anyone could accuse you of being pretty. :P

Congratulations! Job > no job.

[A]t least you are not living off of the government as so many Americans are these days.

You just couldn't help yourself, could you?

And here I thought the Frontroom was a No Ayn Rand Zone.

Congrats on the job Vuk.

One of the jobs I used to do in the summer holidays in Perth was pouring lead in a giant tin shed/warehouse. These were for power lines where the ceramic insulators screw on. Lead is soft enough that it doesn't shatter the ceramics. Anyhow by the end of the day doing this my jeans would be black with tar and I would finish up at 4pm walk out into the summer afternoon and put on a jumper as the heat differential was huge going from the foundry to outside.

Btw Perth in summer is 37 C or 100 F :)

Frightens ya'll that much, huh?

That sounds like a simultaneously interesting and very difficult job. My bro would probably have liked to have worked a summer job like that. He is obsessed with power distribution and just got his degree in Electrical Power Engineering tech.

So much for no politics.

I just had cold taco bell for dinner. It was kind of a unique texture.
