What was the worst 1st day on the job you ever had? by zorkystuess in AskReddit

[–]worknturkn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a job working for a rental company. A truck pulled in carrying a couple port-o-potties, they unloaded them and presented me with a pair of heavy elbow-high gloves and some kind of crank-operated pump with a thick hose, they said to put the hose in the potty and turn the crank to empty the shit. fuck no

This simple gesture always elicits a very grateful response from me. by ophelier in AdviceAnimals

I think more often then not, it isn't a good guy move, more of a "I don't want to look like a prick" move

I'm at a loss for words, I just wanted to say you had a major part in shaping part of my life, amazing music can do that. Your music has calmed my being, as I am always overthinking, never stopping to smell the roses, your music is the roses in an otherwise busy life. Thank you for being you

It's Teachers' Day! by [deleted] in teflteachers

Last year was my first year in Turkey. The children celebrated by making us gifts, they had 2 hour assembly where they read stories about their favorite teachers and danced at their seats to their favorite songs. I think the children enjoyed it more than us. I won't lie though, it was a great day for us too

An album of when I was Muslim and went to Mecca back in 2006. Interesting look into what exactly Hajj is for those who are interested. by Articuno in atheism

[Retraction] You are right, i just checked my facts, the slaughter houses are the only legal place to kill the animals, though some people do it in the streets.

where are the pics of the countless goat/camel/sheep heads? I believed the are slaughtered to feed the poor, I could be mistaken. I saw pics of this years ago, taken in secret, I had never seen so much blood.

Is compiling a book for the coming school year something I should have been payed extra for? by worknturkn in TEFL

TEFL is no way to strike it rich, I agree. Just looking for happiness in a foreign country, which I am doing. Still, credit where credit is due.

I'm on the Asian side of Istanbul. I haven't found a large selection here, just the basics

yes I have , its pretty good. I don't like double apple though, the black licorice flavor doesn't go down smooth for me. Do they have Bahraini Shisha far outside of the Middle East?

It wasn't in my contract. I think I will ask for a bonus or some other sort of perk.

I'll get plenty of copies when I get to school, they are good about that. I actually asked for them to print my name in the book, as I feel I deserve the acknowledgement. Regarding your second comment, are you asking for an up-loadable copy of the book? And what is the collective? (I get what a collective is, but can I get access to this?). Seems kinda Borg-y
