They gave me my own talk show, which was really interesting given that my Spanish was iffy at best when I started. </p> <p>I also had a lot of interesting stories when I worked as a therapist at a sheltered workshop for individuals with developmental and/or cognitive disabilities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-job-that-youve-had-gave-you-the-best-stories-to-tell/page/2#post-733269 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 21:49:47 +0000 calsmom 733269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a celebrity nanny and there were few dull moments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-job-that-youve-had-gave-you-the-best-stories-to-tell/page/2#post-733202 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 20:29:17 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 733202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My best stories usally have something to do with poop. I'd have to say CNA &amp; my current job as communitty support for individuals with disabilities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-job-that-youve-had-gave-you-the-best-stories-to-tell/page/2#post-733148 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 19:52:12 +0000 bushelandapeck 733148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: aren't all SW jobs full of crazy stories? :)</p> <p>My first real job out of college was as a child protection SW. That was eye opening and there was never a shortage of stories at. The end of the day. </p> <p>I also worked in MT as a family therapist and that was very interesting, to say the least! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-job-that-youve-had-gave-you-the-best-stories-to-tell/page/2#post-733121 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 19:28:36 +0000 pui 733121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely my current job: Creative director at a web design company. Lots of crazy client stories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-job-that-youve-had-gave-you-the-best-stories-to-tell/page/2#post-733091 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 19:13:55 +0000 Mrs. Pen 733091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now I work at a clinic in a phone center doing patient scheduling - I love it - but we do see some interesting things. It heavily involves medical records so I see a lot I'm not at liberty to discuss :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-job-that-youve-had-gave-you-the-best-stories-to-tell/page/2#post-733049 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 18:38:34 +0000 Mrsk 733049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Elementary school teacher!

You meet a lot of interesting people selling beer. Plus it was such a fun job to have while I was in University. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-job-that-youve-had-gave-you-the-best-stories-to-tell/page/2#post-731913 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 17:22:22 +0000 SweetMamaM 731913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>High school teacher - definitely! Although retail assistant came a close second!<br /> It was the last day of term on the 19th and I had my Year 10 (I think 9th grade?) class. Two of my Year 12s came to see me regarding an assessment and while I am talking to them, the whole class bursts into song behind them. Not because of them, just because they felt like it. I teach English literature... I could not keep a straight face - my poor Year 12s did not know what was going on. That's just how they roll - my crazy, shameless Year 10s, 14 going on 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-job-that-youve-had-gave-you-the-best-stories-to-tell/page/2#post-731903 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 17:12:21 +0000 NavyRN2012 731903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>RN in inner city ER. Verrrry interesting. I work on a general inpatient ward in a naval hospital now, and it is so much more tame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-job-that-youve-had-gave-you-the-best-stories-to-tell/page/2#post-731841 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 16:13:14 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 731841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Current job probably tops the list for stories, but a few others were pretty memorable like:<br /> 1) pet caregiver/dog walker- some of those pet owners were cah-razy!<br /> 2) ran a dry cleaner in a crappy part of town. I got really good at identifying drug dealers and knowing when to lock the doors. There were a few shootouts, but a lot of drug busts.</p> <p>And I'm not even sharing my adolescent inpatient psych ward experience or my coding monkey behavior experience or my bar tending experience because they don't quite have the same good stories as the above jobs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-job-that-youve-had-gave-you-the-best-stories-to-tell#post-731823 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 15:59:54 +0000 yoursilverlining 731823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worked in the domestic violence division of the DA's office. Clients, attorneys, cops....lots of stories.</p> <p>I work now in HR/Labor. The things people do/say and the things people look up on company computers (so.much.porn!!!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-job-that-youve-had-gave-you-the-best-stories-to-tell#post-731819 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 15:50:46 +0000 DigAPony 731819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worked at a small alternative school for at-risk youth, grades 6-12. I spent most of my time in a classroom for kids with emotional/behavioral disorders...lots of stories. I regularly got cussed out, spit on, had to physically restrain students...definitely the worst job I've ever had. It was not a good fit for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-job-that-youve-had-gave-you-the-best-stories-to-tell#post-731806 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 15:45:16 +0000 SAHM0811 731806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-barista at a small coffee shop... worked with a bunch of fun guys and a cool boss, though he was a little flirty. there weren't a lot of other girls who worked there either so, no cattiness or drama... lots of funny stories about the guys I worked with and crazy customers.</p> <p>- worked as a registered nurse in 3 different city hospitals, in a few different settings/units... met a ton of people from all walks of life... there was always a story (or three) to tell at the end of a 12 hour shift.</p> <p>- most interesting though was the job I had where my supervisor was sleeping with the "big boss" who was married with kids =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-job-that-youve-had-gave-you-the-best-stories-to-tell#post-731665 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 13:34:21 +0000 Running Elley 731665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I have too!! I worked there for a year and a half and was involved in management as well.

I think my best stories come from working at Bergdorf Goodman and getting to see and help celebrities, though. Janice Dickinson was hilarious and probably my best story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-job-that-youve-had-gave-you-the-best-stories-to-tell#post-731280 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 07:54:40 +0000 ladyfingers 731280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: yeah it was in Clearwater. The job/company itself was fine and the new owner wasnt of that... faith, but some of my coworkers were... Difficult to deal with. Beyond the normal "difficult." A couple of them had been involved in a big national church scandal years back, too. So that's always been a good story to tell: "I used to work with Scientologists." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-job-that-youve-had-gave-you-the-best-stories-to-tell#post-731254 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 07:34:43 +0000 yellowbird 731254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a public health dentist and my office is connected to a mental health psychiatric and counseling center.

A friend of a friend was trying to become a scientologist for awhile so I got to hear about some of what they're all about and all of the inside stuff. Definitely not my thing or anything I want to be around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-job-that-youve-had-gave-you-the-best-stories-to-tell#post-731248 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 07:30:51 +0000 Ree723 731248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: Funny, just as you were typing that, I was saying the same!

Those kids were nuts, absolutely nuts, but I loved them and they made me laugh every single day. They also made me cry nearly every day (never in front of them!) but that's a different story! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-job-that-youve-had-gave-you-the-best-stories-to-tell#post-731243 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 07:25:19 +0000 MrsTal 731243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Working for a library system has had some crazy stories.
