Student volunteers painted the logo before the other lines were painted and it ended up 5 yards off.

I see on your resume, you've had a series of employments that seem kind of short term, care to elaborate?

This reminds me of the super at an apartment complex I lived in. I complained about the bedroom closet door getting stuck, so he came over for the repair. He reinstalled the doorknob mechanism--upside down, so the door could not be shut.

Whatta' genius.

It was so painful to see him work and then we would have to live with the results, that I'd fix small things myself, which made him and me much happier.

Nothing I suggest will ever work 'here'. It works across the street and everywhere else in the world, but it won't work 'here'.

My suggestions and ideas are usually about saving money, but it won't work here. Needless to say, I'm paying over $400/month in condo fees on an efficiency apartment.

First time cheap boss thought buying box of extra tiles wasn't worth it.

Second commercial kitchen he did he just used floor paint. That one actually came out better. I'm an artist.

Worst, he let a student apartment building, mostly women because guys would punch holes in the walls and otherwise violate his slumlord empire, go an entire long weekend without hot water because he was too cheap to pay a plumber double-time.

But I had to take the heat.

I was honest too, I told them my boss and their landlord was a scumbag.
