I broke about $15,000 of equipment and wasted about $4000 of reagents and chemicals, about twice as much as I was getting paid for my entire 2 month internship. I also poo poo my pants that day in front of the boss, and I know he noticed.

One time an app I submitted went live on the Apple App Store about a week earlier than its intended release. The big boss lady said I needed to email Apple support and ask if it had been their mistake or mine. I refused. That day sucked.

I was a loader at UPS and one day during peak season we were there for around 12 hours from 2 in the afternoon until 2 am because we were so backed up with poo poo and then toward the end of it some guy in the area right next to ours got his arm stuck in the belt and it got ripped off and there was blood everywhere. he almost died.

I assume your workshop is poorly ventilated and you're just trippin on chemical fumes all the time.

Yesterday was pretty bad. I was really hungover from drinking and watching football all weekend, I almost called in but I hate calling in because of a hangover, so I toughed it out. I was fighting off nausea and trying not to poop my pants knowing everything will be better after lunch. 20 minutes until lunch time I get an email that a projector I had been waiting on had arrived and some guy from another department was there to "help" install it. So, hungover and feeling close to death and having to take a poo poo every ten minutes, I had to forgo my lunch hour in order to ceiling mount a loving projector. Of course everything went wrong and the drat thing fought me the whole time, fatso fogerties from another department just stood around and watched. It took an hour and a half, I was starving but I went home an hour early. I managed not to poop my pants, that was nice.

Loved that day when I was working pro bono home reno's and my 6'4 Polish-Italian, mom house living, 50-year-old boss. Coincidentally a guy with same last name as mine (long-lost Holocaust family we're guessing), decided to call me a Snake for not putting up with a homeowners really angry demeanor. I told her Type 1 Diabetes was worse than her too hard done by Type 2 diabetes attitude and later in the day I walked off the job. He called me at the bus stop asking me to come back, all in all would have been cool to just avoid the entire situation and keep on workin.

oh god once while playing shuffle board on my yacht I bumped my head and got a bit of the ole amnesia. I thought I was lost, a cast away, didn't help my yacht was named the ss midow. anyway I thought I was the professor from Gilligan's island and worked on making a few coconut radios before my memory came back and I realized I was on the private island I owned cuz I'm awesome and there was a heli pad underground I just had to remember the stupid lagoon folded inward then out to produce my escape, as a lotus blooms . Ha. Ya that aws back in 2012 the last time I thought about working. It was pretty fun, novel, relaxing even, highly recommend it if you can swing the experinec.e

one time i was at work and when i went into the supply closet for something i just stared at the cleaning supplies for like an hour while considering the pros and cons of chugging everything that looked toxic

eventually i convinced myself that just because they were toxic didn't mean they were necessarily lethal and that i would probably just gently caress up my esophagus

Look, Steve, you can go on down to Home Depot or Walmart and pick up any common standing lamp for under $50. But this Dyson is a LED Light that will last for 37 years. I mean Steve, you can eat McDonalds every day and probably be fine, but wouldn't you rather be eating Kobe Beef?

I went to my hometown and found my high school bully working at mcdonalds. He was super jacked on roids I didn't recognize him. I ordered just a pack of fries cuz of everything else makes me sick there. He squinted hard at me and tried to intimidate me, but all I could see was how tiny his jewels must be. It wasn't until eric turned his eyes down, and I saw the deep burning shame and envy, the childishness of his greed under all that muscle, It wasn't until he recognized that I didn't recognize him that I knew him.

I remember eating alphabet soup on acid one time and I kept almost understanding what the soup was trying to say, but then the point would gently slip just out of reach.

One day when I was working as a pharmacy technician, a handsome, muscular guy came up to me and asked for some syringes. "I'm not a junkie," he said. "I just use them to shoot 'roids." I told him that I was sorry, but company policy wouldn't allow me to sell them to anyone who wasn't diabetic. He then offered to go into the men's room with me and take off all his clothes, so I could examine him and see for myself that he didn't have any tracks from IV drug use. He could tell I was gay, and that I'd find his offer was very tempting. But I apologized again for having to say no, and he left without the syringes. As I walked back into the pharmacy, my supervisor said, "I saw the way you handled that, and I'm proud of you. I know that was hard for you." I told her, "yes, and it still is."
