Come on in and share your work day here! Whether you had an amazingly great day or a really bad one, come and share it with us. B)

Also - we can add our own smarty-pants answers too (like these) for remembering and giving an inside smile to ourselves on the bad days :D

1. I can see your point, but I still think you're full of sh*t.
2. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.
3. How about never? Is never good for you?
4. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
5. I'm really easy to get along with once you learn to see things my way.
6. Who lit the fuse on your tampon?
7. I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.

9. It sounds like English, but I can't understand a damn word you're saying.

14. I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.
15. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.
16. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.

21. It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off.

39. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.
40. Wait a minute --- I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.

^ Ooooh! Who's been busy?

My current job doesn't really annoy me, mainly (I'm guessing) because I don't have to deal with the public. The last job I had where I had to deal with the public was working on the bar in a cinema. It completely undermined my faith in the human race! The number of really quite monumentally dumb people in the world scared me slightly.
We used to keep a list of dumb things which people had said or done, and some of them you would not believe.

I can't remember many of them, but the stupid question we got asked most was "Is this the bar?" - spoken to someone standing behind a counter with beer pumps, and fridges full of bottles. Another strange one was "How do you get to the second floor?" - strange because to get to the bar you had to walk past the up escalator, and the building was open-plan anyway so it was impossible to not see it from anywhere in the bar.

Weird weird people.

^ lol.

At the moment I have two jobs.

One I think I've mentioned a few times. I work in Sydney Harbour when cruise ships come in. In the morning, we have to take all the luggage off and line them up in rows for the passengers to collect.

Then we have a second to rest before new passengers start arriving, and we take their bags and put them on the ship.

I've only talked about the bad things before like sore body parts, so I'll list all the good things,

Good view of the harbour bridge and Opera House, good sea air, great money and makes the day go faster.

My second job is way better. I work as an extra in Film, t.v and commercials. Great food, great money, great people, fun, easy and interesting.
I love acting, and it's the easiest acting ever.

But I think, every job feels like a job. I doubt there's a perfect job out there.

Oh, and this is the worst question I've ever been asked-

"have you seen my bag? It's a black, samsonite bag."

No job for me. School though. This week is the dumb OGTs. Very brain killing type things. Hard. Testing. Graduation tests.

:lol: :lol:
I work in the Vitamins & Supplements healthfood store; Holland and Barrett ( www.hollandandbarrett.com ) and the dumbest thing we get asked all the time is;
"My wife got these tablets from here 9 months ago and now we need some more"
"Excellent, sir. What kind of tablets?"
"White ones"

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

The worst thing is, they are deadly serious! It happens at least once a day! We then have to try and figure out what these tablets were for! Not an easy task, but hey, it's quite cool when we finally do figure out what they wanted because we've developed quite a good 'detective' sense working there - all of us!

I actually love my job. I love that they give you so much training you can pretty much help most people with most problems. The best part of my job is when a customer comes back a month later to say thank you and you can see how much better they are looking already. It's great. It's really interesing too. Some of the stories I get to hear would make your hair curl! :)

^ Go ahead, my hair is too straight.

lol, must have been birth control pills that didn't work! :lol:

LOL at those stories!

I work in Sainsbury's (a British supermarket, for those living outside the UK), on the checkouts, so naturally I have to deal with a lot of people. I occasionally work on the cigarette kiosk and the petrol station, so encounter more weird people there (and that's just the staff! :lol:).

Anyway, some stories I can remember:
==> One time, a lady came to my till asking if we sold an album on tape (we don't stock tapes anymore). I said no, and suggested some shops in town she might try. The man behind her in the queue added she might try amazon.com. "Oh, OK," she said. "Whereabouts is that?". I had to explain that it was a website.....
==> I've had a few people hanging over Tesco Clubcards (Tesco being a rival supermarket) to me, and getting very confused when I say, "Sorry, wrong store!".
==> We moved the vinegar once, and put a sign up saying, "Vinegar has moved to Aisle 9". Still people kept asking "Where's the vinegar?", ignoring the sign.
==> A while back there was a £120million rollover on the €uromillions lottery game. It costs £1.50, all other Lotto games cost £1. So, guess how many people simply handed me £1 for a €uromillions ticket..... and of course, they're right, not me(!).

But this one really takes the biscuit!
==> In the petrol station once, a customer obviously seemed so eager to enter her PIN that she typed it in before saying or doing anything else. However, she had not only failed to tell me what pump she was on, she also hadn;t given me the card to swipe? I asked her what pump she was on, she just pointed to the pumps in the middle and said, "That one," before entering her PIN again! After finally figuring which pump she'd used, it was finally time for her to enter her PIN. She was confused - "I've already done it though!". Sigh.....

I had just arrived at work today and I had some stuff to do in the stock room,so I hung up my brolly (yes, it's raining here again) and flicked on the radio. The very first song that came on was The Power of Love! Well I turned it up full blast and sang along as I loaded the trollies up and then when the song finished I took them out to the shop floor. The other person I work with has only known me for a few weeks so I asked her if she'd seen BTTF and she said she had, so I explained it was my favourite movie and the song from that movie had just been on so I thought it was a good sign it was going to be a great day! I then rambled on to tell her I'd not only met Michael J Fox, but also that I'd hugged him three times (what's the point of meeting new people if you can't tell them that??) and do you know what her amazing response was?
:blink:
That's it. She just looked at me like I'd said the most boring bit of news ever! Like I was telling her I'd bumped into my Uncle Albert down Sainsbury's last night! :rolleyes:

Oh well....

I'm under appreciated, that's what!! :lol:

Anyway, everything went brilliantly at work today. There were 3 builders outside the shop and they had their radio on too and were singing along to such hits as Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" at the tops of their lungs and very off key! :lol: It was lovely to hear them enjoying themselves so much!

They also played "She's like the Wind" and "The Day we Caught the Train" (By Oean Colour Scene) so I was happy! :)

All in all, a good day at work. I was in a good mood when I arrived and still in a good mood when I left. Wow!

Wow! Kath! Did you really bump into your Uncle Albert at Sainsbury's last night!? :o

It's good that you've been in a happy mood all day.

Even after the girl didn't get excited over Michael.

^ She thinks she's too young to know about BTTF! She's 22! That's older than Flux and nearly the same age as Shandy! Shame on her! :lol:
