View Full Version : The Shift From Hell

Yeah so I just got back from what was quite possibly my worst day at work, ever. Just to remind everyone I work as a dishwasher at a fancy restaurant.
Well to start with as soon as I walked in I noticed that there was a feeling of tension in the room. It was so thick you could cut if with a knife, everyone was in a bad mood for whatever reason. One of the ladies who's there in the morning was all friendly with me, then as soon as my boss walked in she started yelling at me about what a crappy job I was doing. Confused the hell out of me and pissed me off. If she had a problem she could have just told me beforehand.
Then I dumped scalding water all over the front of my pants and had to change. I had really bad back pain all day and the work just kept coming. As soon as I would start to make progress someone would walk in with a billion dishes and dump them on me. The dishwasher sprang a huge leak and the floor was all slippery. I had to take the garbage out in the middle of the busiest hour (just before my shift ended), and there were people pushing me out of the way every 5 min. To top it off taking the garbage out took me so long that a huge load of dishes was left for the guy after me (who I like a lot), and he was pissed about that.
It was so bad that when I got home to find my gf naked in my bed waiting for me, I was too sore and irratated to be in the mood. That lasted about 20 mins. Thats a lot considering I'm 17.
:o Well sorry to bore you all I just had to vent. If anyone else has worst-day-at-work stories I'd be happy to hear 'em.
Peace love and understanding.

it could be worse... you could of had to close the restaurant!
my week sucked. I administrate a suite of online products where i work. I am a member of the 3 man helpdesk. And basically, one higher up person in IT rolled a major change into production without notifying any other departments, or any clients.
Thus it created a firestorm of raw feces, in which the HEADS of companies (CEOs DBA's and stuff) were calling me telling me where i can stick my product... well in office talk anyway.
so i am pretty stressed- ya...

Sounds like every fucking day at the worst job I ever had -- dishwasher at a crappy local restaraunt. Nothing is worse than washing a shitton of dishes, and marvel at the empty sink, then have someone dump yet another shitton in the sink.

Frequency, no matter how many times I read that I cant come up with any meaning out of it. Im confused. What are you trying to say there?
Its like reading some of the stuff I wrote on one of my acid trips of yesteryear.

So anyway Stedric back to you :)
Sounds like you had a shit day but got the perfect destresser when you came home. Just what the dr. ordered.
I have had many a shit day at various jobs and I learned one thing out of all of it:
I HATE working for other people and needed to make a change.
Now, shit days are a thing of the past.
Peace .

you a thing of the past not to tell the old man when he can pop his stale vitamins go to the dutch home with children to lick your scabs you are not wanted but in the trash towns the local meadows torn down by the system make me a greeting card through vanity the technology of fame and maybe one day gates will spark a cry to temper the weakest grave (a splash upon the already faded heads)
days with a lot of work just go by faster for me...unless of course your working too fast and you get all of it done before your shift is over, that's when things can start getting slow.
my worst day is nothing compared to yours, stedric. i had to be at work at three o' clock in the morning, the only sleep i had was of the night before and i was pretty exhausted when i got there - moving eleven palettes of furniture after you haven't gotten a proper nights rest can be a strenuous obligation. i was fueled by two cups of coffee and still found myself dozing off on my cigarette breaks. i'm fortunate that my co-worker and i are optimistic, otherwise, we probably wouldn't be doing what we do. i to am only seventeen, thankfully i still have my strength and will to take what life dishes out to me - no pun intended.
"you gotta keep on keepin' on", the inspirational words of joe dirt get me through my hard days.

Start a thread and share it with us Frequency. I enjoy mental collages. They are so colourful and vibrant and thought provoking . I have written volumes of similar stuff. Ive been writing forever in varying styles and I can get into that mindspace and explore. I enjoy exploring other ppls mindscapes through their writings. Its a journey with no guide and with signs in a different language and getting lost there is like finding yourself in someone elses head. Know what I mean?
Anyway, Im off to bed soon but would enjoy reading it in the morning. And Im sure Stedric would prefer not to have his vent thread hijacked :)
peace

Ganj, I use that phrase too to keep my head and cool through shit that would stick to me otherwise. That and wise words from a friend of mine who has been through shit and back again, Sean O'Sullivan one said to me in one of the most difficult times in my life " Suck it up " that was it, nothing else ,and those words stuck in me. 3 Simple words that can toughen a man up once you understand the complxity behind the simplicity of them.

*sigh* you lucky bastard after a day of getting cursed at by pissed off AOL customers (i telemarket AOL) I get to go home get cursed at by my Mom then I go over to my Dad's and get guilt tripped for working for such and evil company (no shit dad) then my ex g/f usually calls me up and guilt trips me about breaking up with her. Then the girl im trying to be with says i need to knock off all the mushy shit I've been doing lately. .................................................. ......................then i go home and sleep on a 15 year old matress thats like FLAT with no box springs, and a shitty ass comforter that has holes in it. I think I'm going crazy right now. My brain just wants to give up and go into a fucking coma. I think I'm gonna disappear for about 2-3 weeks so i can relax.
