Realized I had no interest getting underpaid and learning to hate something I like to do for fun.
And this is why the renderings for Calgary.next were terrible

Hired at a call centre. Went to one training shift and then quit.

Buffalo Wild Wings bartending. Two training shifts, then quit. Got my paycheque for $84.87 a few days later.

Took a second job as a night stock at Superstore in Sunridge. Worked a 12 hr shift at my first job then rode my bike to Superstore. I lasted the night but only because we were locked in and I was scared to quit to get let out.

Had a job for a few months recharging fire extinguishers. Had a little fun with the CO2 ones and the water ones, but the powdered ones were brutal. Despite the crappy mask they gave you, the dust gets everywhere. You'd taste it for days. One of the co-owners had a constant cough. Couldn't get out of there quick enough.
