I think I worked for a week and a half, got screamed at, cursed at, hung up on, told they would call me at my home during dinner, it was horrible. I was in college at the time looking for extra cash. It was so NOT worth it! I stood up during my shift told my boss I was leaving. He asked me, are you coming back? And I said, um no, never, sorry. lolEliza Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209596240914705136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664128935862208505.post-23769280889738035812010-03-22T03:19:05.118-07:002010-03-22T03:19:05.118-07:00Hey, I think that boy went to my high school too! ...Hey, I think that boy went to my high school too! My teen jobs weren't bad. The bad didn't happen until I temped when my kids were in middle school. I got to cover a maternity leave for the secretary in a casket factory. Another temp had been there before me, and I should have been suspicious as to why she left. Each day I'd coordinate reports from each section, the carpenters, the engineers, the polishers, and the ladies at their sewing machines making the linings. Sawdust covered everything (including me), the foreman was an overbearing bully, and few of the workers spoke English. When going to the cafeteria, I had to pass the sewing machine section, which was always filled with tiny white caskets the ladies were lining with satiny material with cute little duck and bunny patterns. I was so glad when the assignment ended!Pat McDermotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969402820726235963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664128935862208505.post-29286087180855508582010-03-20T13:48:37.037-07:002010-03-20T13:48:37.037-07:00That is so funny and so true!

I could be working in the nursing home! *cringe*<br /><br />Thanks for the comment.

I loved reading and thought it would be super kewl to find out how a book was actually made! I was 16, and had never worked anything other than retail. Boy was I in for a shock. <br /><br />No one told me that I would be standing for hours in front of a shelf with 100's sometimes thousands of pages one right after the other and I would have to grab each one at a time, and keep them in order! oy!!!! <br /><br />I went home every day with paper cut after paper cut, probably spent more than I made on peroxide to clean the cuts out! ouch* <br /><br />And the worst part was, my collater rack was directly next to the shrink wrap machine. sigh* AND there was no air condition, this being June throug August and it felt like it was 120 degrees! I thought I would die!!!<br /><br />I learned a valuable lesson! Get an education and a more cushy job!!!<br /><br />Andrea- CHRWChicks of Characterizationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507046887458343222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8664128935862208505.post-6822673833888256162010-03-20T05:47:21.976-07:002010-03-20T05:47:21.976-07:00Weren't we all?

It was the most tedious boring and actually painful job, painful hand cramps. Sadly I coveted the job of sodering the wgts in the bottom, thinking it was easier and a step up in the assembly line.
