Never did the fast food gig but worked at a car wash in high school. The things we had to clean out of cars …. Also my first experience in plumbing hydraulic lines when I accidentally busted one within my first month. Oops.

We had a sales guy we hired at my first job who talked a great game including wrangling himself a company car but then didn’t do a very good job at visiting customers. After like six months the owner talked to him and said “look you’ve only been to like 30 accounts, you should have done that in a month, you gotta shape up.” Another six months go by, no improvement. I leave for college, come back to visit one day. Coworker tells me “They finally fired Bob. I had to clean out his car.” I go “Oh, and?” “Well there was a mirror and a bag of coke under the front seat, a stack of porno mags in the passenger seat, and the back seat was full of Kleenex.” Guess we figured out what he was doing when he was supposed to be visiting customers.
 
Brutal.

That sounds about right.

We ahead a few addicts that worked there and always had to keep them from sampling other people’s stash.
 
At 16 I got my first job, working at a carpet shop. Did whatever needed doing: setting up the installers in the morning, changing displays, helping with remodeling the store, covering for the drunk owner with his sobriety-expecting business manager wife... Funnest part was driving a forklift with a 10' d*ck on it.

Happy birthday, Cap’n Smudge Cap’n Smudge !

ETA: Ha! I had no idea! "Cap'n Smudge is a salty sea captain whom no one likes very much. He learns an important lesson from Serendipity the sea serpent--love and tolerance can make the world a happier place to live." Hells yeah! Love you, Cap'n!

That is where the name comes from and was a book I had as a kid. About six years ago I drove three hours to go look at some puppies. When I got there only one was left. His name was Smudge. I gave the shelter a couple hundred bucks and me and Smudge set off for home. He puked all over the passengers seat and floor the whole ride home (as in multiple times). I added the “Cap’n” to his name as it seemed “serendipitous”. He’s the worst dog I’ve ever owned. I love him.

Money is tight around the holidays. I’m not sure what you were expecting… clearly it hasn’t arrived yet. Tracking says it’s in Buffalo. Hold your breath. It will get there eventually.
