re: Worst stories of quitting a job
Posted by LSU408 on 9/15/21 at 7:05 pm to charminultra
Well, I didn’t quit. I got fired & I’m not really proud of it, but I acted out of principle. I was working at a gym in BR when spin classes first became a thing around 02-03. There were supposed to be set schedules for instructors & I was teaching classes multiple times per day, 6-7 days a week.
At the time, I was big into bodybuilding & told the owner that I was burning too many calories & couldn’t meet my my personal goals. He was polite & basically told me to do my job. I added that the gym down the street was at least paying $15 per class. He again said that I should just do my job.
The next day, I pulled a chair up to the spin class & played the music & just sat there. I’m thinking to myself, that’ll show him.
Ole Jim pulled me into the office the next day during my workout & told me that my employment was terminated.
He was a good boss. I miss Southdowns Gym.
Jim cost me at least 3 Mr. Olympias. Lol. JK. Probably one of the best life lessons I’ve had.

What this guy said. I can tell you that I was very frustrated with a love one for messing up & living life negligently. I assumed after I took them to the hospital for a banana bag that they needed to sleep it off. The next day, they were shaking & hallucinating & tried to take their own life. I shook it off when they were asking me questions like, “don’t you see the carpet moving?” “ Don’t you hear the voices?” I didn’t understand the severity of drinking on that level & stopping cold turkey. Ultimately, they were taken to a rehab facility.
Please seek medical attention.

Hey Guys. I'm sorry I haven't made an account. I have no reason to have a Spotify account. If someone sends me their email, I'll send them the discs with all of the music.

Awesome. I'll get it done Monday & Bump the thread.
I'll get a Spotify account & put it together. I spent a ton of time on the list.

I made a huge mix this week. 83 songs in total. All LSU, Baton Rouge or Bayou related.
You're absolutely right. I don't understand why wagons aren't rented out.

Posted by LEASTBAY on 5/31/17 at 8:55 pm to LSU408 I can deal with the heat, wind etc. but hauling of that shite back and forth to the car is miserable.
The only thing we didn't bring was the couch & dish washer. When we arrived, there was a guy that saw us carrying everything & let us use his wagon. On the way out, it was all on us.
Someone could do alright renting wagons out around that place. I would've dropped $20-$30 for a wagon for a day.
I can imagine. The wind will do work on a tent. You definitely can't rely on the standard stakes that come with the tent. I'd recommend wooden stakes & rope as a reinforcement. Not too tough for the wind to pull tooth picks out of the ground.

Lol. On the mosquito advice, that shite cracked me up when you posted it. I must've told 5 people the advice that you gave me. They laughed their asses off. Great advice btw.
It was a hell of an experience. I'm back in WM now hanging under the patio. That sun with no shelter is brutal. The place really is a diamond in the rough if you live nearby. It's ideal for 1 day camping & fishing. An hour or so away & I'd be there often with very little gear to tote.
On a separate note, the WW2 Museum in New Orleans is sobering to put it lightly. I'd like to go back & spend an entire day there.

No doubt about that. I'm a pretty fortunate fella. Also, thanks to TD, once we got to the French Quarter, I already knew where I got my shoes.
