What's your top? Holy crap, that worked, moment. A guy we'll call Bob left the company I was at.

A year or two later, he started recruiting people from our company. I was interested, so I flew out for an

interview. First five interviews went great. Seemed like a good group to work with. The final

interview was with the HR director. It went okay,

and then we got to the pay part. I said I wanted X amount. She said the average pay for my experience

and position was X minus 20K. My response was, Bob didn't fly me out here because I'm average. I have no

idea why I said that, but I got the job and the

pay I wanted. Months later, when we were getting drinks, Bob brought that up. Apparently, HR

director thought I was very quiet and introverted from our interview, so my response caught

her even more off guard than it caught me. Used an electric palm sander to clean the soap scum out of my tub.

Put a sponge right on the bottom and turned that bad boy on.

I thought my tub was just naturally eggshell coloured.

Nope, it's pure white.

I once got fired from a job at the grocery store.

I really needed money, though, and no other place was hiring.

So a week later, I just

showed up and started doing my job as usual. No one said anything, and I got my pay at the end of

the week like normal, and I stayed at that job till I quit a year later. A very confused patient

was fighting me when I was trying to give him IV antibiotics. You're going to kill me. What's my family going to do if you kill me?

He wailed while pointing at his adult son.

If I kill you, they can sue me and the hospital and be rich, I said.

The man just kind of made an, oh yeah, kind of mumble, and let me hook him up to the IV.
