I ended up having to leave and didn't get back to comment in return as I like to do.<br />I think I remember those booths. I worked a job in Fairbanks, Alaska that was kind of a make shift building until they got their fancy one built and it had no bathroom. Of course my boss said he'd take me - ya right and I was gonna ask wasn't I? Fortunately I had a cast iron bladder back then and could hold for days if I had to.

I'll be like, honey if you don't pick your socks up off the floor, I'm going to get a pink Vespa... and his face will blanch because he knows I would really do it.

When I was 17, I worked as a telemarketer in this sketchy part of Toronto. I worked late night shifts. We sat in rows like slaves on a ship while this sleaze bucket manager walked up and down barking at us to get more "P-Vals" which was short for phone validate. Needless to say, everyone in my entire family ended up with a Sears credit card. I did call a man whose name was Phuc. I didn't know what to call him. In a panic, I said, "Is this Mr. Phuc?" He didn't speak English. I said "Phuc, do you have a Sears card?" My toes curl just thinking back.<br />Thanks for sharing the great stories. <br />ErinToronto Yardsalerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16665905682609904488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2930363304846338838.post-18470981194692984252009-10-08T22:41:02.777-04:002009-10-08T22:41:02.777-04:00That is funny.
