Confessions of a Fugitive Mind
May 06, 2005
Five on Friday for May 6, 2005
1. Number of jobs you've held.
- Cashier - Mrs. Field's Cookies
- Assistant - Alpine Typesetting
- Computer Monitor/Instructor - SYBerNet Cafe
- Sales Associate - Asheley Stewart
- Telemarketer - WPI's Alumni Giving
- Customer Service Representative - Gander Mountain
- Meat Packer - Koegel's Meat Products
- Technical Writer/Intern - Compaq/HP
- Web Developer - WPI
2. Your biggest raise, by percent. 2.5% — I was supposed to get a 15-20% during my last summer with Compaq, but the merger and the incompetence (resulting in firing) of the HR person kept it from happening.
3. Have you ever quit? That telemarketing job with WPI — only lasted one evening. I wrote the director and said I was never coming back. I suppose I quit my job at HP too. After reporting to 6 different people in 3 months during the merger I decided that the last 2-3 weeks I was scheduled to work just weren't worth it.
4. Have you ever been fired? Thankfully, no.
5. Your worst mistake on the job. Forgetting to change my gloves after scooping up a hotdog off the (sterile) floor. Wouldn't have been so bad if I weren't standing 10 feet from the USDA inspector.
