jobs
im interviewing a girl today...for a job at our salon
she is young. nice. probably irresponsible....hopefully not as bad as i was at her age.
i have had 21 jobs from 17-23 (4 year arden break) i am now 26 going on 27 and all i can think of is WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?
heres a funny breakdown of the irresponsibility that is eMiLy

-jbs-refused to spit out my gum. worked thanksgiving and other holidays went home with 12 dollars in tips, stuff like that. =fired because i would'nt "shut the f up and sit down"- thanks donna bet your 57 and still a professional waitress
-annies pizza-delivered pizzas to crackheads. mangled them driving like a lunatic. gave away free slices to my boyfriend.my friends got high in the back. i stole skittles from the machine daily. quit without any notice...to move to utah.

-rigeos italian restaurant - waitrece, the cooks said the eff word at me for writing my slips wrong. got demoted to hostess. climbed out the bathroom window one snowy night.
-common cents- (midnight shif at a gas station in idaho by a trailer park!!!!!! yes!
seriously, people shot up in the bathroom during the wee night hours. i ate hot dogs and mopped the floor. we sold porn. never even cracked open a page. tempting but no. on the fourth week i was bawling before i had to go...called in. never went back. good memories tho :)-most depressing winter of my life!
-the inn at temple square-had my first run in with utah mormons....seriously do you have a soul? rode the train to work in my little apron. called one of the idiot mormons a son of a bitch. got yelled at by the curly headed managers chrissy and lizzy!! quit. rode the train home and cried a little bit
-applebees- got called a fuc*in cracker by a mean little mexican girl on my first day. stole the shirt and never went back (ghetto applebees) probably could have sued for racism....
-chillis- i knew this job was wrong the day that all my "new employee" paperwork flew out of my hands and into the wind. i was chasing after it with tears running down my cheeks. called, told them i was'nt coming back. good move emily :)
-Marriott-front desk. took calls. checked in rich vacationers, then ended up being the driver...and sometimes making beds. delt with bitchy moms in town and their spoiled tots for ice skating competitions...boring! wound up pregnant...and got my hardest job ever....
arden betty and co-sassy three year old. much imagination. potty training, fishie crackers and walks to the park!-life has never been better!

quit your job! quit your job!
hahaha
I still remember the day you never went back to Albertsons.
AND thank you for hooking me up with tanning at the old place in Provo.
Glad you dont work at a gas station. That made me nervous.
I am sorry so many people used the f-word. That is not very nice of them.
I want some asphalt pie.
Your tanning salon now is pimping. Very NICE. Everyone should tan there.
Applebees is gross. Glad you passed that up.

I remember when you worked at KFC. You would always eat the Honey BBQ chicken. You also always hooked us up with free food. I remeber when you got fired. I was sad that the free food was over;D That was the F-in funniest post of the day;P

This was fantastic. I have had 4 jobs ever. I loved how many times you just never went back to a job. I bet they loved that. Man, you have definitely worked some crappy jobs in your day. I hope the tanning salon business is going much better than those jobs. You should hang your art in the salon.
