I've been unemployed so long, i can't even remember the last time I had a job. All I know is that the Unemployment Bennefits ran out about a year ago.

But no more! Starting Monday, I have a job! Sure, it's a part-time, minimum-wage job making Sandwiches at Subway during the lunch rush... but it's a job! It'll bring in at least $300 extra per month... enough to make things a little easier for us!

hey, don't knock it. i have people on my friends list who would rather be unemployed than take a job that they're "too good for", and i'm glad you're not one of them.

if you want, i'll buy you a sandwich to celebrate.

Thank you! I wonder how long it will take before I get REALLY sick of sandwiches? I'm reminded of that Far Saide Cartoon in the Donut Shop with the skinny guy going over the books and the big fat guy sweeping up... "I just don't understand it! We're moving thousands of dollars of product, yet barely breaking even!"

But this will be REALLY good for you, exspecially if *the baby* ends up with cravings for Turkey Bacon Sandwiches!

May I direct you to customers_suck? I'm pretty sure there is one for Subway workers too, I just can't remember it right now.

You're gonna need them my friend. As a former 'sandwich artist' let me inform you that you are only allowed 6 inches of bread for a 4 hour shift and 12 inches of bread for an 8. (Just so you know) But you can have all of the cookies and cookie dough you want!

Hmmm.... what do you get for a 3-hour shift? Just the cookies?

Re: :::Clears throat:::

[bghsmith.livejournal.com]

Pretty much. You get the cookies and what ever you can snag while prepping.

Eeeew, prep work. [shudder]

Joined the Customers Suck community. Looking forward to getting a bit of good old-fashiojed hatred in my system again!

If you meet Jarod in person, do you plan shove one of those 6' party subs in his face?

Will it be okay if I choose a different orifice?

You know, Jerod is a lesson that all us "plump" people should pay attention to. If you're overweight, you might spend a lot of time feeling sorry for yourself and thinking that is only you could be thin, THEN people would like you! Well, Jerod is LIVING PROOF that just because you're skinny don't mean that you suddenly get a personality!

[flummoxicated.livejournal.com]

So - he's a good example to a point, and then he becomes a warning? Maybe that's why I feel I am obligated to like him, but find him irksome.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

No, no, no... the lesson learned from Jerrod is that it doesn't matter what you look like on the *ouutside*... if you've got the personality of wet sawdust, you're STILL going to be a loser!
