one day the cougars are reading a book together when he noticed the loud jingle jingle it sounded like santa claus...

God, this was so humiliating.

I don’t even know how I got this low in life, to where the only place that called me back was an elementary school. I got hired as a janitor.

My first day and there was snot covering the walls and unidentifiable stains in every other inch of the carpet.

I barely even started yet and I was tired of it all. I could feel the weight of it all start dragging my feet a...

My first day was flying by. I couldn’t believe it was already noon! I was the new hire at Patrick’s Pet Spa, where my duties including giving all haircuts and baths to some of the cutest little dogs and cats I had ever seen. Although I didn’t have any experience in this field I was confident I would excel here. I was now halfway through my first day and I already felt like I had gotten the hang of...

I answered my boss’s call, which felt a like a summons. After the humiliating orders came to an end, I went to the break room to relax for 5 minutes.

“How do you like Miss Darling?”asked a guy who was eating a snack.

“I hate her so much!” I replied. “She’s unreasonable!” I felt close to tears.

”I wouldn’t say that out loud if I were you,” he warned. “Just try to learn her routine. This is your f...

Anna collapsed into the chair as soon as she made it to the break room. Her muscles ached and her uniform was a mess. She had tried to scrub off most of the cake that had found its mark on her shirt, but what was left was a giant stain. Her curled were frazzled and had long escaped from her tight bun.

Since it was the weekend the roller rink was understaffed. Anna took the job by her lonesome ...

Halon was a male nurse and a good one at that. He had just transferred to Mace General Hospital and was getting to know his new coworkers. Bill looked up from his coffee as Halon entered. “Hey, you new? Coffee pot is on the counter - fill it up when it’s empty and you’ll do alright here.” Halon took this advice with a nod, poured himself a cup, sipped and did his best to not spit spray it out like...

I couldn’t even hear myself think over the excessive barking and rattling of the dog cages, even from the break room. Was it always this loud? Was this a job I wanted to do for months on end...

“God,” she mumbles, flinging herself down into the plastic break room chair. It’s gray like concrete and just about as hard, but it may as well be a throne made of clouds for how great it feels after ten hours on her feet.

“He can’t help you here,” says a voice from behind her. She swivels and makes eye contact with a paunchy older man, his stubby fingers wrapped around a styrofoam cup of coffe...

Jack feels the glares beaming at him from everyone in the room. He finds an open seat next to Barb the firm yet understanding supervisor that recently interviewed him. “These judge mental ass people only see me for me record!” Said Jack. Barb responds, “You went to jail for driving a get away car they have every right to.” Jack, disgruntled says “yeah well if they they only knew” as he reflects on...

Finally! As soon as the bell rang, Crick ran out of lecture hall of the recitation session he was assigned to teach every week. It is truly a dungeon full of undergraduates, staring at you, wondering when you are going to make a fool of yourself. Such a pain! Though never realized this a couple of years ago when I'm an undergrad, he thought.

'How are y'all doing?' He went back his 'office', a sma...
