At work today, I dragged aluminum cans out of the trash and into the recycling. My hands are covered in soda now and are super sticky. I'll do it all again tomorrow, of course. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I helped myself to some of the pastries in our waiting room. My coworker Denise saw me and scowled. "Those are for customers," she scolded. We didn't have a customer the entire day. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I was busy prepping parts for something in my line. Busy like I usually am, two co workers told me to stop working. Why? So that they could hear each other talk about scrapbooking. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I heard music in the store and thought that maybe- just maybe- we finally got a radio. Not the case. A busker was playing accordion outside. The beggars have better sound systems than our store. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I had a short conversation with the woman in line at our puzzle store. She was saying how strange it was that her son was so violent. I rang her up. She was buying a WWII game and a World of Warcraft puzzle. I have a guess on the violence thing, lady. I'm dumbmemployed.

At work today, I asked these Southern tourists what kind of custard they'd like. "Oh, we'll take the ice cream flavored one," the woman said. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I started wedging a pillow between my chair an my back for support. At 3:15, my boss tugged it out from under me. "Put your back into it!" he shouted and laughed. He didn't return the pillow. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I finally finished the month long project of collecting newspaper clippings. I closed the folder and asked what I needed to do next. "Well, the newspaper comes out daily," they said. I opened the folder again. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I was told I have "no credibility" at my new job of 4 months. I've worked in the same profession for the last 13 years, and for the world's largest and most successful company in my industry. Then I was asked to help interview 3 people. They'll probably replace me. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I was really behind on counting my store's money. My General Manager kept coming in to to tell me that it was unacceptable that I was taking so long. When I finally got done and he needed to verify everything, he held up the money and asked me "How do I count this?" I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I had to install a printer on my boss's computer. He's the director of IT and he can't even install his own printer. Yup. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I finally received a raise. Ten cents. One extra dime an hour. I have been working there for almost 6 years now and make ten whole cents more per hour than employees who started last week. I'm dumbemployed.
