Workplace witticisms, job jokes and career quips; who says work can't be a laughing matter?
Sick Day!
This morning, well it started out and everything was okay. I was fine until I noticed that they towed my car away. I was very stressed and didn't really feel like walking to work. Everybody driving by looked at me like I was a jerk. I knew all too well that I would be really, really late. I have a lot of things to do that I know just can't wait. I guess they will have to, until I make it there. I just saw my neighbor drive by, I wonder, does he even care? Only 2 more miles, I guess I needed the exercise. Next time I will wear athletic shoes. I guess that would be wise. Just a few more yards to go, I'm going to be on time! No, wait. It's 9:30, never mind.

First Day Freak out
Today so happened to be Jessica's first day at her new job as a clerical assistant. Jessica was setting up her new office with her family pictures and diploma on the wall. Jessica was having a great sense of pride when her Mother also called her on her office phone to congratulate her on her first new job and tell her how very proud she was of her. Jessica was on the phone and did not hear this is a test over the PA. and knew nothing of this routine fire drill.

If you see a Rat get the Rat but what if I am the rat.
During my first year in San Francisco, I started doing random promo gigs and sometimes mascot gigs. I found a well paying gig on Craigslist, which involved wearing a cheap Halloween Store brand rat suit. This costume was as cheap as it gets, it didn't even have a rat mask.

Stories of Customer Service
One of the best things that have come out of working in customer service is the stories that I got from dealing with customers and my coworkers. I have compiled some of the best memories that I have with them over social media, however, I think writing them out might help keep them preserved for revisiting.

How I lost my first job
So let’s get straight into this, As you can see from the title I started my first job when I was 15 so I’m working at a soft play company and these guys would give me the worst hours in the world like you will see in the next part why the hours were so bad. Yeah I get it, I was 15 on £4 an hour, anyway, they called me on my day off to ask me to come in for 1 hour and it was like 4 pm so I was chilling with my friends playing some Xbox doing normal kid stuff, what else are you going to do at that age right.

Selling during a pandemic
I've recently dropped out of a semi-regular sales job. My goal was to make as much money as I could throughout the day, which consisted of a prolonged afternoon and an averaged morning. After a while things start following a certain routine, and we, kind of, become the routine. Have that ever happened to you before? Realizing what was happening and not fighting the change that was taking place all around your self. I did, for a while, and then I chose to take my destiny into my own hands and quit that compromising gig. But how had I ended up there in the first place? Why was I working with a company that I didn't feel like working with? And why on hell am I telling you this?
