People don't care in this day and age. To paraphrase Nene Leakes from The Celebrity Apprentice People will cut your darn head off to win. Not news, I realize, but when did life become so impersonal? I remember when I was in high school and college, my jobs were the best! I loved going to work. I tell many people that the best job that I've ever had was the one where I made $6.00 an hour cashing out people at the gas station.
I remember that I came in to work on my birthday and all of the people who worked there came in to wish me a happy birthday and they made me cupcakes and we had a great time. Now, you're lucky if you get the "Happy Birthday" email. Then there's the card that everyone that works in the office signs and there is nothing close to a personal message in the card. It's so impersonal that it's ridiculous.
Thinking back to that job, many of my favorite lines were born there:
1. From a DJ that used to come by at least twice a week, in response to playing objectional music for an upcoming party he was working:
"That would fly like a fart in church"
2. To a coworker when discussing our dumpster, which was painted blue:
"You have a date with Big Blue"
3. Regarding the temperature that was out of control
Person 1: "Man, is it hot in here or is it just me?"
Person 2: "Oh no, it's me!"
4. Coworker obsessively trying to clear something from eye:
Person 1 - "There's something in my eye"
Person 2 - "Ok.....ok....enough with the cheesy pick up lines"
5. Proprietor to employee 1:
"Can I see you in the Manager's Office?"
Employee 2 to Employee 3
"Wonder what that is all about..."
Employee 3 *Winks*
"Oh she's going in there for a little extra..."*Nods and smiles*
