Kane, I worked for the Post Office out in west Texas.. and I loved the job. While I did work 2 of larger offices, mostly I worked the small town ones.. I mean Midkiff... you blink, you missed it. 10 to 15 customer's all day. and they are happy to see you! Mostly that was just giving out packages and sorting the mail into the right p.o. boxes... Leanore & Tarzan.. so small that they only got worked 1/2 a day each.. Forsan.. 1/2 a day, less than 100 P.o. boxes.. and most of those town's had no city delivery. Yeah, I would love another job like those...but only ONE post office...my own. Sere it is.. and good grief.. Stress ... I love Holidays, but not in Retail.. I've had to listen to Christmas music since the 1st of Novmeber...bad Christmas music.. |

It's funny how music can effect your perception of your job though. I spent a couple of seasons in my misspent youth working as a carney. Anyway, with this one carnival, I ran a mini-bike ride. I had 10 little 50cc Hondas that I let children ride around in a circle if they gave me a ticket... :) Anyway, the music for the children's rides came out of a dual speaker PA system mounted on top of my trailer. the bad part? I didn't get to choose the music, and the boss was hooked on circus style calliope played at max volume 13 or 14 hours per day. I had to stand directly beneath the speakers that entire time. I cannot tell you how much I hate the sound of a calliope to this day. For those who have never heard it, here's a sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtbIz43UXoo |

Ok...Ok Neil ya got me beat on that one.. cause listening to that for 8 hour's would drive me nutty... I'd rather listen to Taylor Swift singing "Last Christmas" off key.. or who ever it is making Jingle Bell's sound like a dirge... But mangling "Blue Christmas" aught to have Elvis IN the building diving his Blue Cadillac over them ... and I can't be believe that Marilyn hasn't put a stiletto up someones ass for what they did to "Santa Baby". LoL Bram... yeah, eah do have that Southun charm when eah want ta use it... and I suppose I could follow my Mothers advice, kill them with kindness... and insult them with word's they don't understand. |

I used to employ that tactic at work all the time with co-workers. Doesn't matter what type of "work" one is doing there are always an abundance of a-holes. By the time some of them figured it out I'd retired and these were all "supposed" to be highly educated peoples (I worked in the biopharma industry). I always found it amazing how many BS's their way into a job they were totally clueless about. Sometimes made me want to run away for realz. :scared: Edited by Brambleberry, Nov 26 2016, 10:54 AM.

Bram... I know what ya mean... I never knew what a genius I was...til I started working retail.. and I'm not just talking my co-worker's either. And truthfully, I really don't think I have more than average intelligence... common sense.. that I have in abundance. |
