Good Job Experiences?

Posted by Cliff on from the feeling-good-about-work-for-a-change dept.

alexkj asks: "Do you remember a situation that made you feel good about your job? There's a lot of moaning and complaining going on about peoples jobs these days. It's probably no wonder with all the downsizing going on, but it still gets me down. So lets turn it around, and find all the good stories. Tell everybody else about a good experience on the job. Try to be specific, and relate an actual story of a situation that made you happy on the job."

    She was the new girl and had all the right curves. I was a little embarrassed when she caught me checking out her ass, but relaxed when she smiled over her shoulder and gave a little wiggle.

    Well, what do you know but we were both working late one night. Nobody else was in the building....

    Oh wait, that never happened. And my job sucks.

    That was pretty nice for a change.

    I can't say it made me happy, though.

  4. Co-op position by heldlikesound · · Score: 4, Funny
    Uh, when I was 19 I needed three co-ops for college, I applied for a salaried position, not telling the firm that I was a co-op student. Made some good money, fufilled my credit hours and right before the start of the fall semester was ready to quit to continue school. So about ten minutes before I was about to walk into my bosses office and quit. He calls me in on his own:

    Boss: "You know times are hard for us now..."'
    Me: "Oh, definetly"
    Boss: "I hate to do it, but we gotta let you go.."
    Me: ::feigning sadness :: "Wow, I didn't see this coming"
    Boss: "I'm sorry. but we've got unenployment all set up for you, and ready to go. as well as small severence package"
    Me: ::trying to repress so much giddiness:: "Well... That helps a little at least"


    Overall, it turned out very well....

  6. The other day by The+Bungi · · Score: 3, Funny
    we finished a large project in schedule and under budget and the boss hired a troupe of Swedish strippers to surprise us as we returned from the conference room where the project recognition awards were given out - I received $4,000 and a paid vacation to Bermuda.

    We partied the night away and then each of us was given the keys to a suite at the best hotel in town, where we spent the next four days fornicating like rabbits and watching reruns of the best Superbowl games of all times.

    *poof*

    Oh. Where was I? Oh, yeah. I once won a "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" t-shirt in an office raffle. That was nice.
