I played many a round of mini-golf there. I think we go-karted once. Not great.

Forget what it was called when I worked there. Don’t think it was Copper City yet.

When I was 17 I had a job testing seismic equipment in simulation chambers to stress test them. One chamber was minus 60C, but the other was plus 80C. Needless to say, the hot one was bad. Could last a max 2 minutes in there setting up cables and lines.

Oh we had a warehouse downstairs and a Mezz too and you're absolutely right.

9 Ford rotors? They might be around here somewhere....

Lets see...we have the Ark of the Covenant...no, a Map to the Lost City of Atlantis....no, the Eye of Ra...no, that wont stop any Fords....the texts from the Library of Alexandria....no...

These rotors are gone. They may never have even been here!

One of my first ever job interviews was at the Bow trail Dairy Queen.

They didn’t hire me, and at that point it became personal.

Without a doubt stacking lumber for 10 hours a day. I remember the constant pins & needle feeling in my arms for the first two weeks until my body adjusted to the highly repetitive manual labour. It was also a pretty unsafe place to work as people were getting fingers cut off in saws or nails in their legs.

For a bit in university I worked as a temp, and that definitely was the worst. I worked for a bit in that stretch as a mover and I thought that was the worst job ever. Obviously physically demanding and just overall not enjoyable.

But then I got a few days or a week in a meat packing plant. That was clearly the worst job I've ever done (and there were a few runner-ups for me!). After a few days, the muscles/tendons in my wrists were just so inflamed from the repetitive movements that is was unbearable. You had to pack burger patties into a box, and fold/close that box while the next one came down the chute. Some of the people there were making good money, but alas I was there for the lofty sum of $6.00/hour. There were a lot of things to hate about that particular job.

Superstore Electronics Dept in Signal Hill for a year, met Jordan Leopold there - we had the same name

Otherwise it was terrible, mostly the photo dept crap we had to deal with.
