== Objective ==
Find a job where the people I work with aren't
all against me. Also, I'd like to find a job where the boss doesn't
pick on me. I'm thinking of someday being my own boss. I want to
make a lot of money. I need some creative space so I can make
things. I want to have the extra time to enjoy the things I'm
interested in, like partying and seeing some bands. I'm a people
watcher, and I'm thinking about learning to play guitar.
Shell Gas Station
Responsibilities<br><br>I pumped gas,
checked oil, and sold cigarettes to motorists and the high school
students that waited for the bus there.
Reason for
leaving
The boss and everyone had it out for me. The
bastards I worked with told my boss that I was stealing money from
the register and then they framed me for it. The boss was picking
on me for being late a few times, and got pretty upset about me
showing up with booze on my breath. It was a good thing that I'd
drank that whiskey right before I got to work, otherwise he would
have smelled the weed on my breath too. Hey, I wasn't kidding when
I said I liked to party, man. He got mad because I sold cigarettes
to minors. I think that law is bullshit. He doesn't know what he's
talking about. He's an idiot. He wouldn't let me have time off for
Christmas so I can visit my brother Randy. No one treats me that
way. He'll get what's coming to him. I'm telling you; that bastard
is going to pay.
Furrs Lumber
Responsibilities
Take the broken pallets and make them into good, usable ones. Got
the door for the contractors. Swept the parking lot and yard to
keep it free of dangerous debris, like wet cardboard, sawdust, and
wood chips.
Reason for leaving The boss would ride me about
smoking and talking to people walking by. I was doing Furrs a
customer service deed by establishing good relations with the
public. If you call them they will tell you I made a lewd comment
to a customer. That ho is full of shit. She flirted with me. She
started it. My boss was a dork from California. His daughter was a
fox and he would get uptight when I'd talk to her. He was
infringing upon my constitutional rights be telling me I couldn't
smoke in the warehouse because of "fire codes". What a bunch of
crap. Everyone knows that a cigarette couldn't burn down a whole
warehouse. It was just too big. He was an ass for not letting me
have Thanksgiving off to visit my brother. He also claims that he
caught me jerking off in the warehouse. I wasn't jerking off. I got
a sliver down there and was trying to get it out.
Burger King
Responsibilities Cook and janitorial work. I
took the 40 pound frozen hamburger patty box out of the freezer,
broke them apart with a screwdriver and a ball peen hammer and put
them in the cooker conveyor belt. Took the cooked patties and buns
(there are two sizes, whopper and regular) and put them into the
appropriate sized bun. Put the assembled burgers into the steamer.
It was also my responsibility to clean the tiles on the floor
underneath the tables where the cleaners couldn't reach with their
machines.
Reason for leaving I came into work the day after
Halloween and a couple pigs were there and they told me I wasn't
allowed to go in. The manager came out and gave me my last check
and told me I was fired. I asked him what it was all about and he
said I came in on Halloween and started screaming and throwing
things around and shoved a lady up against the salad bar. That's a
lie. I was drinking with erick in north east houston. I was riding
my brother's Huffy (because my car was impounded for a bull shit
DWI charge I was framed on). I don't think there is any way I could
have got from north east houston to south west houston on that bike
in one night, especially since I was so drunk. He hated me anyway.
So I punched the son of a bitch and the pigs arrested me. That bald
headed punk deserved it. He was lying. He said I had a blackout.
That's a lie. I don't remember ever having a blackout. He got mad
at me for spitting on the patties with my buddy Craig. He said that
that was disgusting and that he was really disappointed. What a
asshole. He didn't even see the humor when we used to stick the
burger paties on the customers antennas when they would go through
the drive thru.
Lowes Lumber
Responsibilities
Stand next to a conveyor belt and pull just cut lumber off the
conveyor and stack it on a cart and then strap it with banding so
the forklift drivers could put the units on a truck. Bundle pieces
of pine with a piece of equipment called a "sub-bundler," although
it took me maybe two weeks to figure out what it was really called
because my unofficial "sponcor" was this freaking idiot named
Steve. What an idiot. Nobody could understand him because his
speech being drowned out by the spit bubbles. I really thought the
thing we did when the two of us were bundling the pine boards was
called "sumbumblinb." I was his "buddy." I couldn't shake him. He
blew his nose on his shirt.
Reason for leaving It was winter
and it was cold as hell. I was living in this house that the
bedroom window was broken out of, and my bathroom was frozen. I'm
telling you, its hard to get a good job. Anyway, the warehouse had
its doors open so the forklift drivers could drive in and out so
the wind blew straight through. It was probably a -30 degree wind
chill factor. My boss had the extra forklift backed up to us so its
exhaust would blow on us. Like it was supposed to keep us warm. I
got frostbite because I was wearing steel toed boots, so I quit. I
realized that my quitting might have put them out of business, and
for that I feel bad. But you know, a man has just got to have his
dignity. My parole officer can kiss my ass for getting me this job.
Furrs Lumber
Responsibilities Cut aluminum
slabs into one inch pieces, drilled holes into them, and cut off
the burrs. Piled pallets into neat stacks.
Reason for leaving
My boss Jack was crazy. He said that I was being "careless with
safety" because I was caught jumping off the third tier of the
racks in the warehouse into foam rolls I piled on the floor. He
also got mad because I was skateboarding in the warehouse on this
ramp I had made out of spare wood. It wasn't a big ramp, and they
weren't doing anything with the wood. As far as the jumping off the
racks, it wasn't dangerous. The foam broke my fall. Besides, it
made everyone laugh. Jack was a geek. He drove a porche. People who
drive porche's are stupid. He got pissed one time when he found me
and Ron and Mark and Adam getting stoned in the warehouse. I made a
cool fort in the racks on the second tier that three of us could
fit into, even though it was really only made for two. I made it
for this chick that was working in the other side of the plant.
Never panned out, though. I told her about it and she left and
never came back. Huh? Anyhow, Me and Ron and Mark and Adam climbed
up there and we were smoking the last of my weed. Mark was leaning
over on one of the walls of our fort and fell out and landed on his
head. I was so stoned that I just started laughing. Man, that was
funny.
EDUCATION
Baytown Sterling High School I
chose to leave school because I didn't like the way I was treated.
I got in trouble for skipping school and drinking. People made fun
of me because I played Dungeons and Dragons with my cousin "D" in
louisiana. That's a thinking man's game. They were stupid and
didn't know what was going on. I went to a one week training course
for selling Ginsu Knives. Learned how to sell worthless crappy
knives to suckers. They even had scissors for cutting pennies in
half. Who needs that crap? I learned lots and met a hot chick. I
watched her all week. She refused to go out with me. I even offered
to take her to a club to go dancing , and she said I was a loser.
She must have been a lesbian. That's cool, I was just playing. I
didn't like her anyway. I just wanted her to feel special.
SKILLS
I am very handy with a hammer, but I think my
calling is in sales or customer relations. I'm a people person. I
spent a week with my dad in Texas and he taught me how to weld.
I've become very interested lately in pyrotechnics. Maybe a job
starting fires would be cool. Hey, I'm flexible. I just need a damn
job. If I don't get a job soon, I'll be forced to take up that
offer that recruiter from the navy gave me.
