dawoco Posted July 6, 2004 some weeks ago, I started this job working for a non-profit making insurance asscociation. In a nutshell it was calling people up and asking them questions about their health and then telling them how great our policy was and how cheap. As is the norm, people hate strangers calling them and asking about their health. But the fun bit was finding out about the person on the other end of the line. The protocol was that the more u know about them, the more likely they are to trust you with their details and it was a working formula.. One time i was listening in on a converstaion between another co-worker and this guy called Andrew. He was quite amiable and listened politely. He seemed like a blokes bloke and was very reserved and all...How deceiving things can be! Soon enough we knew that he had a 3yr old daughter and an ex-wife and everything seemed normal...That is, until he said he was having a sex change done :confused: :confused: Still, not too strange in the world we live in. So as the conversation went on my co-worker started asking him what he would call himself. And the macho guy we were talking to proudly anounced that he would be known as Druzila :eek: Of all the names in the world, why in heavens name Druzila?! Isn't she that evil woman in 101 dalmations? I mean if a man is going to the trouble of becoming a woman, shouldn't he at least find a decent name? Enough was enough, and after talking to a guy named Druzila, I decided bugging people on the phone wasn't my cup of tea. That was my first and last week of wonders So what was your worst job ever?

MrsRoboto Posted July 6, 2004 LOL @ Druzila. What a choice, but to each his (or in this case HER) own. BTW the woman in 101 Dalmations was called Cruella not Druzila but there is not much of a difference anyways Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dawoco Posted July 6, 2004 What can I say Mrs, Druzila sounds so evil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OG Moti Posted July 7, 2004 Dear Dawaco, I dont like to spoil your topic, but it seems to me you left your job because one guy turned to a women and he choose Druzila as a name.. weird, just tell us you were lazy to perform your job and use that as an excuse to leave the job, once qaxooti always qaxooti... The job you are doing or were doing is called Telemarketing, it is one of the most interesting jobs that requires patience and dedication.. it is a job that is result oriented, means no matter what you say or do, get clients... looool, My worse Job? I have to say my worse job is the one i am doing now, teaching cambodian students, the students are nice and some are very good, however more than 98% of them have no basic backgrounds in anything so to speak, high school system is the worse, teachers get paid $30 a month, so they do not teach at all, and they charge students $20 to pass the subject, they spend their time courting the pretty girls in the class, and the result would be .. them coming to me at university and expecting i will teach them from zero ground, I have to explain every word i say, They dont undertand the cocept of education, they seem to think, you pay tuition fee, and the teacher somehow will open your brains and place information in their brains.. they seem to think it is ok to copy from books and cheat in exams, they got surprised when they dont show up for classes and fail, they negotiate for grades, they cheat as if the teacher has never been a student at one point of his life, I was educated in Middle east, and in there you learn the most safisticated methods of cheating, and in Cambodia they open a 400 pages book and expect i wont notice.. this is a job from hell, yet it pays well, even more than developed countries, but the amount of work you have to put up with is stressful and sometimes depressing, you work almost 20 hours, atleast i do, how? after working hours we still need to correct their badly written,and copied assignment, prepare for lessons and find a methods that could suit teaching someone who had no background or even hardly write... I think teaching a cat to speak would be easier sometimes than teaching some of the students i have... My Job is a sucide mission, and what keeps me going on, is first challange, second i love these indho yar people, they seem to be nice and friendly, third I have no choice but to be here... hard position but at the end of the day, life goes on, and nothing is what it seems... peace Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salma Posted July 7, 2004 Moti, being in Guantanamo is better than Cambodia J/K LOOL All da best in yr Hell, dont worry u will Survive, coz the Somali Nation are the Only nation that can survive under all the cruel and horrible circumstances. Even if the Qaxooti is opened for them in Antarcatica and Alaska, they will go there and survive Speaking about da Qaxooti, i wana know something. Why CANT the Somali people settle in one country. They keep moving from a country to another. If they are in Netherlands, they will go to UK.

NGONGE Posted July 7, 2004 Sounds like dawaco was not asked to sign a confidentiality agreement! :rolleyes: My worst job was as a mini cab office controller in Soho. For those who don't know Soho, it's an area in central London that is populated by prostitutes, transvestites and has lots of gay pubs. The majority of my "punters" had a link to the sex trade one way or another. I even got asked out by a drag queen once! But I think HE was just teasing me. :mad: Anyway, when the drug dealers started trying to recruit me and the police started to hassle me, and the prostitutes started to proposition me, I decided enough was enough and walked out on them all. PS Druzila sounds nice The one you had in mind was the great Cruella De Ville Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
- Femme - Posted July 7, 2004 The worst job I ever had was working as a babysitter for a Somali Fundraiser. Lets just say 3 adults and 30 kids under 10 were involved. Goodness.....Im serioulsy considering ______________________________. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reality Check Posted July 7, 2004 The worst job was at cinnabon. After you find out all the junk they put in their cinnamon buns, you are going to be so turned off. And they gave their employees two cinnamon buns for free after their shift. I didn't last more than two days, and gained maybe 5 pounds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warrior of Light Posted July 7, 2004 The worst job experience I had was at a nursing home. It is true when they say as ppl grow older they return to a state of childhood were they cant take control of themselves.May Allah protect us from feeble age. The worst part was working with patients with dementia, they keep on asking for the same thing over n over again.Or claim youve stolen something from them :mad: . Anyway at the end of the day was a good experience to understand whats it like when ppl grow old. I admired those at age 99 and yet their minds and character were better than younger 60things. And found out that they loved reading books n solving puzzles, kept their brain occupied. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
