Sorry, Kat Kid. I sympathize more with yours. But oh man I can actually hear a Nebraska fan saying this in a Randy Savage voice.

Copper Oven is a really good breakfast restaurant.

Yeah, I don't go there very often because they don't serve alcohol.

At my new job they do. Then I started bringing them real coffee. They don't say it so much anymore.

First job right out of college, about 1 month in.

Small company about 30 people, company was run by a brother and sister after their parents retired, they were doign their best to run it into the ground.

This company had about 4 degenerate grandchildren on staff who had either failed out of KU or went to JCCC. One day one of them offers to sell me his flatscreen for $300. He had just wrecked his car and gotten a DUI about a month ago so he was hurting for cash.

I agree and he says great, give me a ride home(no license) after work and you can grab it.

On the drive to his parents house he asks me stop by the liquor store, I agree. He walks out with 4 forties in a paper bag...

We start driving again and I hear him setting up a drug deal on the phone, i decline to stop by his dealers house.

When we get to his parents house he says "Alright lets do this quick, I dont want my mom(co-owner of company) pulling up while your walking out with the TV, they might get pissed if they know I sold the TV, they just bought it for me last year for $800"

On a plus side I did meet fellow goEMAW poster catsdo while working there.

What in the world are they doing trying to bring a hooker to something like that? :gocho: On account of "client" and sometimes prostitutes like to get fancy and say they have clients.  Your john, Pete.  Your john wanted you to go to church.

If I knew where Rusty worked, I'd pay one of his colleagues to send him gifs where "LSU just fuckingkilled it again" and ask him if wants hit up that Dane Cook show in town. And everytime Rusty didn't laugh or agree to go, he'd say "whoa, easy there, princess. We'll wait for a week when you're not on the rag."

Yes, but was very nervous that his mom might come home while I was putting it in my car...Still have it.

Also his younger brother was playing a video game on it when we arrived. The degenerate brother just walked up, turned off the console and started unplugging all the wires.

I would actually enjoy this, tremendously. I think I've mentioned my coworker from Indiana who is just full of ridiculous quips all day. I've actually been toying with the idea of a twitter account, but that would be kind of mean. Examples:

Quote
Webster's dictionary is a third grade slangbook

Quote
China is more free than the United States

Quote
The Mayans predicted the internet

Quote
Italian food and German cars, not the other way around.

Quote
Apple is the most corrupt company in the world

He's the one that doesn't fit in where I work (I fit in almost perfectly), but whatever. He's a treat.
