Dadisms, Vol.1

It is good to get paid for
EVERYTHING you do at work!
My dad did his best to prepare me for the working world. He is a very wise man who has offered up many pieces of useful advice and personal wisdom over the years. Of his many pieces of advice, one stands out as the most memorable and most frequently applied. Before I started my first job at the grocery store he looked me in the eye and made the following statement: “Make sure you crap on the clock if you have to take a dump at work. Don’t do it before or after your shift. If you have to take a shit you might as well get paid for it.” Ever since that day I’ve tried to follow his advice as closely as possible.  Yes, this is somewhat gross but to this day I still get some sick level of satisfaction when I walk out of the can at work knowing I just got paid for the last ten minutes in “my other office.” Like the kids’ book title states “Everybody Poops”…..Some of us are just lucky enough to get paid for doing it.

  1. No wonder the economy is in the can; ALL THE WORKERS ARE TOO! But I'm sure congress, the senate, & Obama are too.
