The Bad Day at Work Thread

[Erzengel]

Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Oh God.

If it makes you feel any better, I had to look up the lyrics. But everytime I passed this thread, that one lyric just kept replaying in my head and now I hope it goes through all your heads as well.

 

[Fran]

Okay, now I'm gonna have to play some NIN to take it away.

I'm only working there while I'm in college, but I might start looking for something new. But I really love the rest of my co-workers, just not the manager or the job itself.

I feel similarly about my job. I like working with most of the people(with the exception of the manager and another guy), but the job really isn't that challenging. My skills and experience aren't being utilized in a way to keep me from being bored most of the time. But it pays well, and I can't think of a job to replace this one that offers the same kind of pay and laid back atmosphere.

I work in printing, We print those Sunday insert flyers,people love to look at on the toilet so much..Anyhow, I work in a big warehouse type place with no air circulation for 12 hours on nights for 4 nights in a row every other week,then 3 nights in a row the other week.Yes, you do get very dirty sometimes..covered in paper dust,ink,grease,oil and other printing chemicals on a nightly basis...so someone complaining about thier desk job, I really don't feel bad for you.

I thought over time was optional,now there giving people **** about not working it. I don't want to work a 10 hour day and then sit in traffic for three hours I'd rather do an 8 hour day and sit in traffic for an hour and a half. Isn't it enough that I have to be there at 5:30 am?

I used to have worse jobs than that and I felt the same way about people with desk jobs. But now that I have one...man...cubicle life is pretty hellish. And besides...this is a rant thread...we accept rants from all social types.

I work in a Christian bookstore. The job is usually very fun and I meet a lot of interesting people. But, I still have the crazies who try to take out name as a "Christian" store for granted.

One time a lady came in and asked for the 10 Commandments movie. It's a pretty old movie, but it's popular so we usually carry a few copies. Here is how the convo went down:

HER: Do you the ten commandments on video?
ME: Let me check for you.
*after checking the computer and shelf...*
ME: I'm sorry, but we are sold out. But we have some on order.
HER: You're kidding me?!
ME: No ma'am, but I can hold one of the ones on order for you.
*she thinks a minute and then starts stomping off*
HER: This stupid store has just lost all faith in God!

Now tell me, how the heck does having a movie out of stock constitute our faith?

I've got a lot of crazy stories about the old Christian bookstore.

LMAO! and there's such thing as a christian book store

[chaseter]

I wonder how many of these stories in here end up in..."So I shanked them all."

Where the hell do you live, Hell? We have a few Christian book stores here.

I'm from South Carolina and we actually have the biggest Christian bookstore in the nation, if that tells you anything.

Christian retail isn't really the most popular business venture.

Nothing I love more than when it's 70 degrees outside, sunny, I have the day off, and then I get called into work because someone didn't show up. AWESOME!!!
