I was supposed to start work at the Irish Times, but well I got assaulted 2 days before I was supposed to start. Previous to that, I washed dishes at The Wellesley. I've probably worked at tons of restaurants in Victoria, but I've always wanted to work at the 5th street or learn line cooking. - Fri, 4 Feb 2005 5:46pm

Well, my job entails me delivering the girls to their appointments [before anyone goes all moral on me.... I have nothing to do with the booking... just the delivery]
As well, I do basic bullshit errands for them... picking up smokes, booze, etc [obvious to anyone that knows me, I don't do drug runs]
It's a fun job... I love psychology...{:)

Wow Sickfuk that's cool.
You must have some interesting stories...
That's why I took this delivery job. I figured I'd get some good story ideas (I'm a writer), but all I find interesting (with a few exceptions) is what I see when I'm driving.

Trust me... I do have a few interesting stories.... just last week I got called to my office at 1am to evict a drunken redneck who was offering up violence to any other customer that walked through the door.... it's amazing what the words "Now, I don't want to have to call the cops" will do

But for more stories look in the found on the web section at the "faces of meth" thread... there's a couple of good ones there

Victoria police can't put a name to the suspect behind a brazen daytime heist at AAA Stamp and Coin, but they know what the culprit looks like and they're not keeping it a secret.
Police released a set of video stills Tuesday of a man committing an armed robbery at the Fort Street business during noon hour Saturday.
Police say the man spent about 20 minutes in the store before pulling out a black handgun, ordering the male and female clerk to the floor and tying their hands behind their backs. He then removed jewelry and cash from the store's safe, smashed two glass display cases and grabbed more jewelry. He was last seen running through an alley that connects the 800-block of Fort and Broughton streets.
"It looks like he was there for about 20 minutes before he made his move," said Victoria police Insp. Clark Russell.
"Then he fled on foot so we can't put a vehicle to him or anything."
Based on the video footage and witness reports, police believe the culprit is a white male between 23 and 40 years old.
He was wearing a white baseball cap, a white fleece jacket with dark-coloured zippers on the front, black track or cycling pants with reflective strips on the lower legs and white runners. He also wore gloves and dark-coloured sunglasses.
While its common for replica handguns to be used in such robberies, police say the thief left behind a live round of ammunition, indicating that the gun was real.
Police declined to place a value on the stolen jewelry and cash.
Anyone with information that may help identify the suspect is asked to call Victoria police at 995-7209.

Actually.... I'm pretty sure Alex Campbell jr. would remember me... he's been scared shitless of me since he fired me for "not being the type of employee they were looking for" enough though I worked my ass off like I always do.... but I got so pissed off at him, I basically offered him the decapitation twist, and promptly dented a BFI with my fist....{:)
He's never looked me in the eye since... even after all the old managers ganged up up him, and made him rehire me...{:)
