I wanted to tell a story of what happened to me the Fall of 2011. I worked at a Canadian coffee chain with sparse locations. Let's call it, Jimothy's. Anyways, it was owner by a man who spoke limited English so he tasked his university aged daughter to run the place. She was obnoxious as all hell. She said awful things to people all the time and hated anyone getting along. There was a young girl I worked with. She was so sweet and she was new. For some reason, the manager hated her. Like, hated her. She picked on her badly and it only took a few weeks for her to leave. We got paid in cash and had to go to the back each pay, she counted it and we had to sign.

I have an interview tomorrow for a store that sells old video games and movies. It's on the top of my list of places I would want to work and I really want to do well in my interview Got any advice of what not to say?

I won an award at work for helping contribute as part of a team to generate $23 million in revenue with no capital investment. To congratulate me they gave me a water bottleAlmost too absurd to make it up.

I'm going insane at my current job. I had such a restricted schedule for over 2 years. There's no movent for me. I'm tired of the clientele. I want a different job and decided to take a 17 pay cut for a job where I can make ends meet in the mean time. But Everyone is pressuring me to stay. Does pay really make people happy of there working conditions are causing me mental and physical strain and anguish.
