So I'm gonna give some advice.

1. If your getting paid minimum wage don't work too hard

2. If your co-worker is an idiot tell them and make sure you run to your car when you leave for your car each day.

3. Don't clean a toilet or anything gross.

4. Most bosses are cheap assholes and will rip you off so write down your hours and don't take the cheque unless it's correct.

5. Don't say racist things while at work, some people might find it offensive and kill you (or run to your car after work)

6. If someone keeps hitting on you at work ignore it because it will end up the talk of the job place.

7. Don't pick your nose or fart or leave a big poop in a toilet

8. Don't wear leather pants or bring strange things that you collect to work.

9. If you don't understand something that someone say's just nod your head (works for me)

10. If your hung over don't go to work because most people don't want to smell you vomit breath.

I remembered two more

1 Waterbed factory
1 Printing company

This brings me to my next subject "Dangerous work environments"

If someone is operating a forklift...Don't climb up to get something off a shelf. (I almost got hit with the forks) :(

Don't clean machinery when its on... I had to help a guy pull his broken hand out of a printing machine :/

Stay away from people operating machinery that smell like booze >: the guy not the machine :/

People that smoke while near dangerous chemicals are cool :/

Don't drink coffee in a pot that smells strange.

Don't eat coffee truck food ( I got really bad diahrea )

If someone threatens you at work it's a good time to find a new job.

If someone says "can you climb in that little hole?" or "just reach in but watch out for that wire" >:

If your supervisor asks you to move his personal stuff on the weekend at his home for no pay >:

Jobs...

1) Seasonal work at a mail order catalog

2) Busyboy/dishwasher/host/server/cook/manager at a resturant

3) call center tech at a suck ass company

3) Network admin at a school

4) network workflow manager/marketing head at a large company

The resturant job was the suckiest I ever had. I used to get stoned and drink there all the freakin time. Our boss was a two faced cocksucker who I would probably beat to death if I ever encountered him (he stole 1000 dollars from me out of paychecks he bounced when he defaulted on the store 2 hours before we opened without telling anyone).

and I had another one For that Take youre kid to work day. That day I learned the Perils of the shop/garage full of fat drunk guys cuttung up and rebuilding golf carts. I learned the following on my day.

1. When a man who smells of old spice and scotch tells you to "hold this so I can cut it" dont because the bastard nicked me with the blade

2. Golf carts arent really that slow, and don't turn all that well either.

3. dont put heat shrink tubing on youre fingers then hold the hand heater up to youre hands.

4. Don't work in a golf course at all.

5. quit when the maneger has 8 accounts of broken parol.

6. OMG my entire familyexept me works at a golf course.
