re: What was your shortest job?

My second shortest stint was one night at a Chinese restaurant as a dishwasher/bus boy. There was an Oriental girl right behind me wearing goggles for pepper slicing. I was trying to power-hose chicken or something off a bowl and the water centrivically shot over my shoulder and doused her. She cursed the Asain hell out of me and I never went back.

My third and best one was when I first moved to Nashville and took a job at Cracker Barrel (frick those peg games if you're a bus boy, btw). One night my roomate and I got so hammered I called in and claimed legitimate ill. It was shocking how well the assclown boss took it.

It turned out that there was a waiter there with the SAME NAME and a sparkling reputation. I had a real-life Office Space moment when he realized what happened and blew up my answering machine with angry messages.

One week as photographer for a newspaper. They weren't paying me mileage to drive around randomly and find photos so I quit. Gas wasn't cheap.

Cleaning an auto body repair/paint shop as an eleven year old. I found out there was a tv in the office. An hour later and busted for watching cartoons, I was fired. Damned wascally wabbit. It was a good lesson to learn though.

1 day, attempted to sell ADT security systems to the fine folks in North BR. All door slammers except for one nice lady who said she was interested, but unfortunately her 415 credit score required a cash deposit. Well, that was the end of that...

Worked one shift at a car rental place in the airport here in Baton Rouge. I walked to my car at the end of the shift so depressed that this was what my life had come to. I got on the phone with BRCC that day and registered the next. Graduated from LSU a few years later (there was another break in there for no reason, I was so stupid).

I waited tables for only 2 weeks. That job is not for me and I have tons of respect for people who wait tables and especially for those who do it well.

Eight years

I got a job at logans roadhouse by cortana mall. ...i went in at ten am, went through the first part of training. ...i never worked in the service industry before and knew it wasn't for me, so when they let us out for lunch I went home and never went back.


So. ...2 hours

2 months. Krispy Kreme on Clearview my last 2 months of high school. Ate 1/2 dozen of free donuts every shift.

Lots of trashy stories in this thread.

What kind of person doesn't have the integrity and discipline to finish a shift. SMMFH.

My shortest job was at a Siemens factory the summer after freshman year of college, putting together these microwave sized sanitizing devices for dental offices.

I worked there for 3 weeks and everybody hated me. I was busting my arse and fricking up the production lines because everyone moved at a snail's pace. They had to keep moving me to different departments because I would finish 2 hrs of work in 20 minutes.

After 3 weeks of having to show up there at 5 am I said peace out. Went and painted houses the rest of the summer with Color Works. That was a shite show as well.
