Scary Work Experiences

Yeah well I work in a camping shop full of idiots, and my manager once said (and I quote) 'I could give up smoking easier than I could give up kiaking.'

Every day in Millets, Ballymena is a depressing experience...

I work in the Uni art gallery. One time when I was alone there, this guy came in who looked like a hobo, and smelled worse.

He came up to the office door and started talking all kinds of crazy, like about how he used to dance in the ballet. Then he came into my office, shoved out his arm and said "Can you help me get this off?", indicating what was obviously a tamper-proof hospital bracelet. I panicked and said something like "Uh, I don't think I should be doing that, sir", preparing to call security or hit him with something or whatever was necessary. But he left, thank god. I'm convinced he was some kind of escaped mental patient.

Kiaking? is that anything like kayaking, mayhaps?

Is that how you spell it? The thing with the wee weedy boat?
Oh well...
