Thanks to C. for sending in this suggestion after “not surviving her 90 day probationary period.”

I was fired from my first job ever, I think I was 12 years old. My parents had to sign a document that allowed me to work if memory serves. Anyway, I was an ice cream scooper and I broke a glass into like a 50 gallon container of vanilla ice cream. That thing was huge and they had to throw it all away. It was awful and I was fired on the spot. It’s a dog eat dog world on the south shore of Strong Island. You guys? By the by this was on my very first day. What’s the shortest you ever lasted at a job? Any good quitting a job stories?
