Home-Brite Ace Hardware

I don’t know about you, but I don’t like doing the same thing over and over again. I am one of those people who just love doing new and exciting things, and being a cashier at Home-Brite Ace Hardware isn't one of them. Like don’t get me wrong I love the people there but after doing the same thing over and over again is killing me of the drive I have.

It’s become to the point where I just keep on trying to avoid work and being the boss's daughter does not help. Because even though job security is great, it’s like I can’t quit. If I where I would never hear the end of it at home. Since I started to work at Ace it’s been all that what they want to talk about with me. Which sucks because when I get off work the last

    Throughout my life, I have been the victim of several burglaries. At the age of seven, someone, in broad daylight, broke into our house and shot my dad in the chin.

    Working in an office, specifically in the front desk, to many is a mundane, straight forward, pretty repetitive job. What could be so awful about working in an office, right? I unfortunately work at a taxicab company and let me start of by saying that there is nothing mundane about this place. On a day to day basis, I find myself struggling to remain positive, stress-free and most of the time end up failing at keeping my spirits up. After viewing the movie, What the Bleep Do We Know?…

    Breathing is difficult, as if each breath only fills my lungs a fraction of what my body is accustomed to. Taking the respirator mask off seems like a viable solution if only I wasn't encompassed in an oppressive cloud of dust. My hands are numb. The relentless vibration of metal took away all sense of touch minutes ago. Even my headphones blaring a Kanye West playlist fail to drone out the echoing sounds of machinery.…

    Guero I rolled out of bed at 3:30am on Monday morning, wondering what the heck I got myself into. Half asleep, I turned off my alarm and proceeded to get dressed and pack my clothes and toiletries. After checking to make sure I had everything in my bag to get through the week, I placed it in the trunk of my ‘95 Buick Regal, grabbed a water bottle and granola bar and headed out. It was the summer after my senior year of high school and I had agreed to help a family friend roof houses until school started.…

    Most people dread going to their jobs. They hate putting on their plain uniform, and dealing with crabby and ungrateful people, not to mention the drive to work for these people is almost as terrible as work itself. I am nothing like this. Every day before I work, I put on my athletic shorts, t-shirt, socks, and I am excited to start my job.

    but, they all pretty much fit into the molds of their clones from yesterday. Day after day, after day, the customers make my life a living hell. When I first started, I loved my job. I was always happy to be there, at that drab grey clothing store with its concrete floors and warehouse like interior. I probably loved it because it gave me a more interesting perspective other than my school life and home life.…

    The Intro I never knew how people could be so fucking despicable before I started working. And I can 't put everyone in the same pot, but most of the clients I deal with don 't deserve half of the respect I am forced to give them. No, scratch that. They don 't deserve any of it. I am expected to bow down to their every command to increase profit, yet my well-being could never compare to the added cash by the time the store closes.…
