The box factory when I was at university, glueing and folding plain cardboard boxes. One day I did 2000 pizza boxes, oh and the owner banned the radio.

Thanks, Man. No one has yet... but eventually it will happen. And when it does, I'll be there for him to let him know just how incredible he is. And give whoever disrespected my son a lesson in manners, whatever that may look life.Oh sorry, didn’t know. But honestly, I’d be surprised if anyone said anything to him. The grocery store has a guy with Down syndrome that works there. He seems really happy. Totally different scenario though. It really is a messed up world if someone says something to him.
Banned the radio? So you had to work in silence? Why?
Wouldn't workers actually be less efficient if there was no music and people started talking and getting engrossed in conversations?

I've done a lot of carnie work all over the country. Two stick out. The call center job I had for a few years. Talking on the phone all day is mentally draining to me, and having people talk crazy to you that you can't grab by the throat drove me nuts.
My current job, which I thought would be the dream job, is basically 60% making calls and I fucking hate it. We have to ring the same people every WEEK and you can imagine how fun those phone calls are. I hate it. It’s also stupid. With every phone call I’m supposed to be selling a $130 package for a photo shoot that hasn’t even been shot yet.
Worst job was at Safeway tho. I worked in the office counting the money and doing the daily deposits and cash. The job itself was fine. But the management was disgusting. They never treated me poorly but I seen them do so to everybody else. Yelling at a cashier on the floor in front of customers, insulting other employees below them to their face or passive aggressively ten feet away to other managers, and other high school things. Also I noticed on the staff room that if you went a year without injury you earned a $5 lunch. I didn’t like what that said about the company itself. Maybe I have a low tolerance for shitty people and this is just regular work environments, but I wasn’t having it. Gone in two days.
The hardes part was getting people to say your name.Being a HS Chemistry teacher sucked, so I just collabed with a former student of mine and built a business in New Mexico.
When I was first staying with my buddy after the divorce, I worked at a Safeway for a month or two. Made shit for money of course, and it was maybe the worst I've ever been treated at a job. To this day I wonder if my boss was racist because she hated my guts from day one for no apparent reason.My current job, which I thought would be the dream job, is basically 60% making calls and I fucking hate it.
