At work today, I enjoyed being rejected by a few people I asked out. I understand, I guess, that maybe it was inappropriate. It is an unwritten rule I shouldn't ask out the doctor's patients. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I was stuck inside all day during one of the most beautiful last days of summer. I asked a customer how it was outside. "Eh," he said. "I just stayed in and watched TV." I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, my boss and I scouted new locations for a franchise in rural Michigan. We needed somewhere crowded enough to support more fast food chains. We saw two people the whole day. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I got a phone call from an executive. "I know that someone like you can help me." He paused. "What do we call our really low level employees?" I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, we celebrated the third anniversary of the restaurant's opening. It's admittedly a pretty impressive thing. Guess how we celebrated? We left five minutes early. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I showed up with a new haircut. Most of the people complimented me on it very politely, saying it made me look young, etc. But more than one didn't recognize who I was. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I had to transfer callers to our replacements in India. Then, I got another honor. I got to fix the issue when India transferred them back. I feel so useful. I'm dumbemployed.

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.
