  1. your female complained to your temp agency. Yeah, then I never saw her again. ummm, I was also going thru bad vertigo. that, and the management. then I actually went to the Adler, interrogates me over discussing hourly rates between temp agencies on the job. after he was done with his spiel, I finally said, She asked me what I was making. thought about it, should have thought harder, but I walked out. He was a big bully to everybody.

  8. what did Will Palmer call you for a sandwich at the Cottage, what did he get? don't remember. I stole it, basically, unless Lori caught me and took outta my check. Back then, a huge sandwich, and I made them huge was $2.75.

  12. one morning, I had to walk two miles to get there, and got there, being late, and loyal customers were outside, so I chatted with them before clocking in, and a co-worker wrote me up. Manager almost fired me. What in the fucking hell.

  13. what was that one male co-worker like when his mom came in and you told him she's beautiful. he was flattered, but he hated him. I went to his summer party, he always seemed to criticize. Nobody wanted sex at the party, and I was with Dave, just instructions on getting buzzed.

  14. how old were you at the party? turning 21. how old was he? a leftover 30 something taken for life, probably still there.
