Sheesh, that was 16/17 years ago - man now I feel old. Anyway... sorry I got myself off track. As I was saying. Having worked at CEC when I was younger, I KNOW the people that go there. Some use it as a daycare. I can't tell you the many times I have seen parents drop the child off, and then LEAVE. I was there one time when two grown adults got into a fight over who was first in line to order thier pizza, and one picked up the HEAVY glass cake stand top and break it over the other lady's head. I hated when I had to be Chuck E. HATED IT. The kids were HORRIBLE. We werent allowed to talk, no matter how the kids were acting and what they were doing. (and being Chuck, you had to be careful you werent pushed down the steps, you head wasnt ripped off etc. etc.) I figured out a way to get back at the kids. I would be real nice, pat them on their head, maybe just half a whatever to hard, I would pick them up "accidently" hitting their head on Chucks nose. I didn't hurt them, but I guess that was my sort of passive agressive way of getting back at the little brats. I dont take my kids if I can help it. I just hate it that much.<BR/><BR/>I did like to work in the kitchen though. I remember working the salad bar with a really good friend of mine and we would stand on a stool in the kitchen and peek out through a hole in the wall (where the ice would be dumped into the soda machines) and a couple of times we would throw canteloupe at the people, and they didnt know there was a hole in the wall, and they would be freaking out trying to figure out where the flying fruit was coming from.<BR/><BR/>*sigh* to be 16 again working in a place where a kid can be a kid. <BR/><BR/>Lots of memories - good and bad for me there, haha. And yes, I know that I am not painting a good picture of myself, but in my defense I was 16.<BR/>~JenniferJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050466263238656666noreply@blogger.com
