wife fucking other guys when you're in marriage counseling, leaving to fuck her boss when you wouldnt fix their fuck up. not forgiving you for taking private info from her computer, but forgiving boss for doing the same in addition getting undressed in front of your boss for a conversation of which he kept secret photos for possible blackmail, which you also forgave.
Oh my God, you were a waiter? Thank you so much for your service. Here, allow me to tip you 35% just for being just not hung over enough to bring me my food. Thank you so much for your service. You're why I'm proud to be an American.
The one pure retail job I worked at had quite a few hot chicks. One gal had to custom order her bras from Poland or somewhere like that. Seriously, the finest fucking check out girls I've ever seen in my life, albeit we were a sporting goods/camping store located between two college towns and the starting pay and hours were better than 90% of part time jobs in the area.

lets see some writing samples
I've worked in food service. Now I work in a laboratory with cutting edge services that are the best in my industry. The people I worked with that always considered themselves above their job as a barista/waiter/bartender or whatever were always shit at their jobs. If you have a shit job, and you are shit at it, then you are exactly where you need to be.
Nurses are nuts. My wife went into surgery on a Friday and all the banter during the 3-4 hours was how drunk they were going to get that night.
you as in her learn to read from context
I got your reference. Thanks for trying.
Hey, at least they weren't bantering about how drunk they were on the job.
Why do you guys use excel for all the technical provisions? It is retarded
I loved it to be honest. Bunch a short little asian girls talking about best happy hour. Got my blood going. Then had to drag my swollen and needy wife back home and watch over her for a weekend.

Anything having to do with EKG's , saving people from cardiac arrest , the effectiveness rate of defibrillators, also how bullet wounds work. How much physical contact you're allowed to have with patients before they can even give consent ... there's a lot. Any action movie triggers me to no end because I'm also pretty /k/ and am trained to constantly think about how to treat different injuries. The few movies that can convince me of some realism are , however, fucking amazing to see
>Right
It's pretty much exclusive to medical shows and I haven't seen a lot of paramedic shows which aren't just documentaries. The one exception that usually defies these stereotypes is the show "ER". Highly recommend it.
there's a whole completely accurate movie about you, dumbass
>food service
I hate american english.
Fuck off, bimbo.
Usually it's because the older guys/management expect the calculations to be wrong/out of tolerance and require manual fixes, and with excel it's a lot easier to just hop in and make a change here and there then quantify the impact. My place is trying to make a more locked-down system, but even when my project team gets it working correctly BAU management still doesn't want to change anything, because they don't trust that the process can be done correctly from start to finish and not need fudged fixes
>doesn’t know that’s what everyone does in every job
I’m an HR Manager and if people knew the levels of shit I talked after giving them an interview they would have an anxiety attack.
dont worry i have an elaborate plan. she was in jeopardy of losing her medical licence for using patient information to help her boss. i tried to get her a sweetheart deal where she could get her license back after 8 months but that wasnt enough for her. in the end she ended up confessing to using patient info at her medical license hearing anyway.
she didnt lose her license when she got home she thought it was me "im glad it all worked out i said" the same night she found out her boss had made a sizeable donation to the head of the medical board for research. she was angry with me and asked me if i even tried(remember she confessed to her own fuck up to the board anyway) i said no(this is important) and she left to stay at her bosses place.
what they dont know is that the bribe to the medical board of which i new could be an avenue to get her license back is how im going to put him in jail.
I can do that at my job. I'm an auto body tech, work for a small business that restores jockey trucks (pic related). I make my own schedule and leave whenever I feel like, usually work ~30hrd a week and make ~2k/mo. Not everyone is a slave working for scraps at giant corporations with millionaire ceos.

>wrong: we “consider” every applicant and “call them” even if they don’t get the job
It has to be HR that sets a new record for laziness. How hard is it to draw up a "thanks but no thanks" template and send it out ffs.
A lot of it is for “just in case”, a lot of people we hire freak it pretty early and it helps to have people on hold.

It's stressful and not for everyone because dumb normies scream at you for things outside of your control. I'm one of the few that can handle it no problem though, pay ain't too bad either at my particular company.
I love hearing the dumb excuses people have for not paying their bill. They expect the internet to just stay on forever despite them not paying for like 3 months straight. They come in, demanding an extension, only to never fulfill it and ask for another. I love telling them straight up "pay your damn bill retard" in a customer service way and then telling them to fuck off, in a customer service way. I hate these faggots and the only thing that soothes my rage is the fact that I get to tell them no when they demand this & that and expect their yelling or demanding of a supervisor to get anything done. No no no no no fuck off you ain't getting shit. Then my supervisor says the same thing and I can hear them scream into the headset from 10ft away.
I disagree. Teachers, nurses, and waiters get their dicks sucked by society way, way too regularly. I'm not shitting on the competent members of those professions, but the problem with this fucking dick sucking is that there are a tremendous amount of incompetent fucks that just see it as a paycheck and need to be checked for the repercussions of their terrible work. I asked a neighbor of mine that happens to be a middle school teacher what he thought the biggest problem at his school was and he said that terrible teachers can't get fired. I was fucking shocked, this guy is the typical soiwojack and I would have figured he would talk about funding or student teacher ratios or whatever NPR shit we typically hear but in his opinion about 10% of the teachers at his school needed a fucking pink slip.

Warden generally because rangers interact with the public more. In general wardens focus more on preventing and investigating crimes while rangers focus more on making sure all the wildlife is doing well and keeping things good. In some places one role does both.

God, this so much. I can forgive some incompetence but the ones who are usually incompetent are the ones who refuse to learn to correct their actions, take everything personally, and refuse to take responsibility. These types use politics as leverage to get ahead rather than being a good worker or good human fucking being When I see this shit in a hospital setting it makes my blood boil. I've learned to handle these types better but I will never stop hating this even after I die and the all the stars in the sky burn out.

how do you get up most towers? are the small narrow ladders I see going all the way up the only way?
thank you for your service
For most towers yes the ladders are the only way. The really tall ones have an elevator that goes about 2/3 of the way up and the rest is done by climbing. When there's more than two workers or the equipment we're carrying is too heavy for a job we get a crane to take us up and down (this isn't always the case because crane hire and operation costs a small fortune so contractors avoid it like the plague). Then there's the shit-tier climb on towers that have no ladders so you just use the structure itself like pic related.

My job revolves around the automation process of the a certain step in calculating the technical provisions.
They do not trust the result so I showed them that if they used my method the would roughly save 3 days and that if they wanted to they could import to excel and run every step from there.
1 program vs 10 actuaries, 2 correct results and 9 wrong. The second came from the main actuary.

I wine and dine officials and military officers of corrupt countries by taking them to only the best whorehouses and clubs and regularly pass around large quantities of cash literally under the table in a bag all in the effort to sell the military everything from underwear to submarines and everything in between. I regularly have to associate with scary men whose nefarious reputations preceed them and whose nicknames aren't in the least bit ironic and, if I hadn't met them and realised that they too are civil and polite and at the end of the day just want to get on with it so that they can make some dough to blow on the races, I would shit myself on a regular basis.

You don't get to put "star" behind porn just because your videos gets 20k views on pornhub.

I see it as more of an umbrella term for someone who is in the industry, but I guess you have a point.
I work in my father's company. I've dealt with a lot of faggy middlemen (conmen more like), and have acted as the middleman too for things which we don't produce ourselves, things for which we are not official agents and things which the buyers and sellers want kept relatively discrete.
It's funny because as a kid I used to play around with the weapons catalogs my father would bring home from the office, looking at all the pretty guns and boats and apcs.
I never thought about what exactly it was he actually did lol.
I was about to hit the road to neetdom before I was roped into it because he wants to retire.
It was either that or become a teacher. Fuck that. Kids piss me off.
Not him, but since your question is porn related, the answer is no. There's rarely any special need for a qualified/professional script writer. That being said, some of the camera/logistics crew that works on these productions can also have all kinds of other gigs on their resume, including fucking Disney.
It's not entirely uncommon for your first "professional" gig to be in porn.
>But my guy still ran as a Republican because it was the path of least resistance to being elected, despite being a full blown Democrat

As a HS teacher, I agree. When I was doing my course at uni this absolute fucking idiot at a school fucked up the prac placement program I was in, basically left me to fail and at the end I finally went to the uni to tell them what was happening (I was under the impression that they were going to pass me despite the horrible mismanagement of my program until one of the final weeks so didn't say anything until then) and they said they'd deal with it. There was a new principal at the school who quickly realised this guy was incompetent too and she cracked down on him as I was leaving - so that was an external institution that had been partnering with the school, and the leader of that school who wanted him gone. What happened? I found out about a year later that he was still earning the same amount and had been given classes to teach instead of programs to run. He's still there, never got his teaching standards reviewed or anything. The guy couldn't organise me a timetable without overlaps or follow up on anyone's concerns and somehow he's still there.
He's the reason that I believe that people can have actual crippling anxiety, because that place and the stress he created caused it in me and it took me a year to be okay going into classrooms again.

As for any crazy stories, I haven't really had anything out of the ordinary happen. The most difficult part of the job is more or less staying hard for as long as it's required of you, and we take viagra from time to time to ensure that.
I've also heard of people who inject shit into their junk, but I've never seen it in person. I basically came into the industry at a time where all the rules, regulations and safety was well established.
I'd say Luna Star, she's just insane. Latin women are fucking insane in general.

Bepis is 8 inches. You can say it's about average for the industry's standards. There's also smaller guys, but the main reason why it's required that you're reasonably well endowed is for cinematic/angle purposes. There's certain positions that just won't look as good on camera if you have a 4 inch dick.
Outside of that, most women in the industry who I've worked with don't seem to care about size in their personal lives.
How did you get into the industry? Does your family know what you do and if so, how do they feel about it?
I was once applying for a job as a student and one of the girls interviewing me flirted pretty hard with me. Is this manipulative behaviour to get me on board or was she real? Girls don't often initiate on me

> No air traffic controller movies
I saw one, it's real old about 1999/2000. Think it was called Tin Men? Was the first movie I saw Angelina Jolie in. You might enjoy it?
I know. I've had these sort of conversations so often trying to push through change. You have to understand the mentality of actuaries to get why it happens though; they spend years doing professional exams so that they're legally allowed to look at a number and say "yeah, that looks alright" even if it's wrong and you can prove why. They'd rather be out by 5% on reserves and have potential explanations on why it's out, signed off by two actuaries, than fix the issue completely with a solution created by a non-actuarial team.
>Teachers, nurses, and waiters get their dicks sucked by society way, way too regularly
Yeah, exactly. God if I had a nickel for every movie that’s been made about the heroism of wait staff I’d be Bill gates rich.
Mathew Perry in Scrubs, Airplane with Leslie Nielsen
This summer was pretty fun, apparently the company had a visit from finance inspection. All the actuaries had to go back 5 years and explain what they had done. Some have gone back 2 years and they cannot explain their results or calculations seeing that they rely on the excel which is a abomnination of 15 years of people doing there shit in it,and they have until the end of the year.
Time to abandon ship I think, the company is also pushing to become datadriven into the cloud and what not. The problem is that google saves everything in the cloud on their servers aswell, GDPR is going to fuck them.

I interned in B4 audit and I've actually seen some pretty charismatic Chads pacing the office though.
Accounting might be a bore but money starts going up pretty quickly in the Manager positions, and a lot of them stayed in it because they have families to feed. And at some point, you're really just there to go meet a company's CEO/CFO and banter with them.
That said, a lot of jews as well, a lot of bumbling awkward folks, and some pretty unmotivated people.
Yeah, I'd look for a new job if I were you. Those guys sound like hacks -- even the most convoluted of spreadsheet models at my place are fairly well-documented, and we're slowly moving the bulk of it onto data storehouses we can query
I can say that the company I work for is the largest insurance company in my country. Might become a too-big-to-fail story, but seeing that they comply with all the EU laws and produce the necessary reports they will still operate.

Government? Run by regular dudes who probably talk about who said what at last week's barbecues, and what happens in the bedroom with their wives when they're together.
Military dudes? LITERALLY just a bunch of 20 something year old chads and social rejects coming together to talk about strip clubs and how bored they are about not killing people.
Fastfood workers? Literally don't give a fuck about you and talk about all the regulars that come in, because what the fuck else is there to talk about? How proud they are of being able to cook tasty burgers?
>terrible teachers can't get fired
My father was principal of a high school (in France) and this is by far the number one issue.
A few years ago some internal documents from public education got out and 10% of the teacher workforce doesn't work.
I don't mean they are doing a shit job. I mean there are >10% of the payroll that literally doesn't leave the house to work. They are unfirable based on the combo of public worker status + education union mafias.
On top of that you have half the remaining teachers being comically incompetent.
