Makes my blood boil.<br /><br />The best job ever is reporting. No contest. I've used it as an excuse to get inches from tigers, fly in a helicopter, slip backstage at concerts, visit crime scenes, and have pictures to prove I was almost gored by a wild cow at the county fair. Once, I even flipped the bird to a county commissioner.

So, I cannot reveal any of that!! :D<br /><br />BUT, I do have a pretty good one I can share! Just last year, when I worked part-time at Barnes & Noble...oh yeah! spent all my pay there!.....It was during the first few nights I worked, and we'd been told we could have water at the cashier counter, but NOT to let the customers see us with it!! When no one was in line, I got thirsty and grabbed my water that was under the counter, squatted down to "hide"....and started to lose my balance! I must've stepped backwards 2 or 3 steps before falling flat on my rear end!!!!!! The man and woman working with me, checked on me, and I was fine...except for my ego!! I was SO embarrassed!BECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184458949017900541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-79319754240405868242010-05-17T21:28:01.834-05:002010-05-17T21:28:01.834-05:00Hi Lisa,
