Who me? I said the zoo, not the circus, lol. I mainly worked with the horse & pony rides, nothing too exciting really, but when we were on lunch breaks we would go off and look at all the behind the scenes stuff. I got to feed a Zebra, among other things.

Illegal? WTF? Are they a protected species?

They just laid off the best CAD drafter we had, and now we're left with a meatheaded guy who does nothing but watch porn all day. Lucky him...

And even though I've been at my job 11 years, I'm beginning to believe that it doesn't matter anymore. No one is safe!

@ Jackhammer: You would make a great teacher!!

@ WWWP: You would make a great hedgehog farmer! :P

Some nonsense about California's fish and game department being afraid that they will colonize and eat all the crops or something.
I'm writing a letter to the Governator.

Thank you! My family doesn't have as much confidence.

Hedgehogs are damn fast movers. World domination is on their list for sure! I hate officialdom.

When I was in Scotland I had a job in telemarketing, whereby I'd be given a list of about 500 random phone numbers in order to try and sell kitchens to their occupants. I walked out of it after about a month, and frankly I'd rather be unemployed (as I am now) than have to do all that bollocks again.

I don't know how you did it for a month. That has to be one of the worst jobs ever...telemarketers have to have nerves of steel.

I'm a janitor part time (still in high school), and as much as I dislike cleaning, it's better than working in fast food.

It's not only that (and yes, I got told to go **** myself a whole load of times), but when you're pestering literally hundreds of random people for money they don't want to hand out it really plays on your conscience after a while. Especially when you're making pathetic amounts of money in doing so.
