It was like straight out of the movie Employee of the Month except it lasted maybe a week until store managers found out and fired him.

Many stories of grift and non-OSHA approved shenanigans from those days.

I worked in a call center for a few months during my sophomore year of college.

Well, I didn't work on the actual call floor. I actually overslept and missed the training for becoming a call agent, but the girl at the front desk thought I was cute and told me to go around back and talk to the quality assurance manager about working in his department. He hired me on the spot and I ended up getting paid to listen to sales calls to make sure they met their legal requirements.

But all of my managers did drugs in the office and we spent most of our days playing basketball.

They all got fired and I ended up quitting when summer came around and I headed back to Texas for the break.

That's BNut. He looks like the male version of Boo's avatars. Besides, Glen has someone push him in a wheelbarrow.

I had the opposite. I couldn't fall asleep last night for some reason. I was up until well after midnight.
