Has to be a very hight rate due to all degenerate gamblers here like myself.

I have gotten fired on about 7 jobs but I got the shaft on some but most had to do with some type of gambling issue whether running to track to bet doubles on job time and some were for running numbers in the office and one was for playing dice in warehouse.

Hey my own fault and not looking for sympathy here

I was warned once and they blocked all of the gambling sites i was visiting. I thought it was poppycock as all the instructed work was getting done. That was back in the XYZ days.

I am employed and have never been fired from a job, but I have been known to roll dice at work and call in a few bets.

I lost a good job with UPS about 30yrs ago. I was driving the truck to the track, and every afternoon before I brought the truck back I would stop at my parents house and drop off alot of packages that were never delivered, I got so far behind that people were calling the office wondering what was taking so long for them to get their packages delivered. finally one morning I went to work and my boss called me in his office and said what have I been doing the last 3 months, I played dumb and I said what do you mean, brother when I said that the **** hit the fan.he said bring the rest of the packages that you have at your house to me later today and he told me I was fired.

One time it was Christmas eve, I was working for Fedex at the time, on the road...I had nothing to do really, all my pickups were closed had basically 6 hours on the road to do nothing, I went into the mall and watched a Bowl Game, it was CSU vs someone, anyway I ended up staying there for the entire game, watching....Store workers probably thought I was nuts just staring at a TV for 3.5 hours...I get back out to my work van, I got all these messages wondering where I am? I had to pretend my radio was broke, I had no explanantion as to why I didn't hear the message...Even though I had done all I was required to do, the route next to me, they let him go home and wanted me to fill in for his late stops...It was quite embarrasing when I got back to the base.....long time ago

I was a collector for a bank up in Hartford.

This was the summer MLB introduced interleague play. Needless to say I got absolutley buried.

So here I am stuck almost 10 dimes. I am sitting in a cubicle with a headset on looking like a tool.

Some Puert Rican lady calls in to make a pay by phone, she was like 60 days late. Before I even realized what I was doing, I convinced her to send the check to one of my neighbors house Fed-ex. By the end of the week I am driving all over ther tri-state area picking up money orders form these poor bastards. I would tell them that if they paid me directly, I would credit them for 3 payments, even though there is no way to do that.

I was halfway out of the hole before the Bank caught on. The V.P.'s family is from the same town in Italy as mine. So he didn't turn me in. I ended giving the BM my car.

Way back I worked in an office. When everyone found out I had some expertise in the area, was bombarded with questions about betting. I ended up having to organize the office fb pool, an office trip to the track, and had to get action down for a number of guys there. My stock rose very quickly.

Was working in a BAR/RESTAURANT. Head Chef and in charge of the check book,lol. Well I wrote 35 checks to various phony companies and my friend cashed the checks, then it happened, I was busted. Not only I lost my job, but I lost my freedom too,lol, as I did time for it. The guy who cashed all the bogus checks was an ex football NFL guy that I took the whole wrap for keeping him out of jail. Kept my mouth shut bout him being in on it too. Needless to say did my time, paid back restitution and now I moved on. No more locals, just offshore where cash has to be upfront, better that way. Hey we all make mistakes and I'm just an honest guy and speak the truth!

Jimmy nice job not squealing, your a tough guy

Hey Jimmy I admit I am a tattle tale but only on women and parking violations and ****. I get my rocks off when I see a cop write these good looking chicks tickets from my window. I wait for a meter to expire or a woman to park more than 2ft from curb and call cops and then I sit at my window peeking out of the blinds and a lot of them come out and start fighting with cops!!! I love it!! Plus I get points for doing it with neighborhood watch program. Some guys around here tell me I am frustrated and cannot get laid so this is why I do it, who the *** knows, we all have our quirks

Good Luck Jimmy

JJ, you get nowhere in life being a "RAT". lol, my daughter was in a bar in Carteret the other night and parked her car in front of some Indians house in front of their driveway. She seen the cops pull up from the bar window and she went out. The cop said someone called in and said their was a car in front of my driveway and I need to get out its an emergency. My daughter knocked on the Indians door and asked them if they called the cops. They said no, they weren't going anywhere tonite so they let it go. Then the cop told my daughter to move the car knowing she was in the bar. She said no I won't move it just give me a parking ticket and you can't give me a DWI moving the car! The cop laughed and said as long as they are cool with you parking their then I'll leave. WAS THAT YOU who called JJ ?? RATS!!!!!
