funniest thing I ever saw at a business

was the glass front extinguisher insets with the cute little hammer

and the hammer on a cord

behind the glass so no one would steal the hammer...

I am a painting contractor. If you ever hire one, make shure you have plenty of snacks and refreshments on hand for the crew.  You will get a much better paint job ;D

Thought I would revive this thread as I hate my job and am looking for inspiration.  I bartend at a fancy hotel on Maui.  May sound kind of cool to some, but I'm really burnt out and tired of standing for 10 hour days, waiting on demanding snotty types and dealing with incompetent management that changes approximately every 2 years.  Been there over 10 years and I've had at least 7 different department heads.  Plus sides to the job are that I work in the open air, can see the ocean, don't get many drunks in a hotel environment, and I can often barter a good meal from the cooks with offerings of cappuccinos, red bulls, smoothies or cocktails.  But after 10 years of working at the same bar, I am done.

I fix wrecked cars, mostly Toyotas.  Most times I wish I worked in a Bar.  Do you have Dogfish Head?

in 5 yrs at my corp job i have had 2 diff dept VPs, 3 diff directors, and 6 diff managers.

i am a blame monkey. when something goes wrong my director tries to find a way to blame it on me. my job is to accept the blame and be berated, or prove it wasn't my fault and get berated.
my job desc also includes handling orders for medical devices (makling sure your CT, MRi, X-ray, etc gets there on time and with all the parts)

I work as a project manager for small construction company that builds high end estates. I build things I can't afford for people I hate.

Most of my day is spent talking with clients and/or their representatives/architects/interior designers/ landscape deisgners/etc.  resulting in lots of this:  [bang] Dealing with subcontractors is a joy in comparison.
