Nope!

I don't do any of the shit our box bitch does. That's an actual title at my shop, which is the job that our high school junior does. I never had to be the shop bitch, I just built bikes and cracked jokes from the get-go.

Title: Maintenance

Place of work: Crystal springs water park

Should be: Cleaner or barf/poop in pools. Seriously, a few days ago in a five minute span two kids threw up. Why do you go to a water park if you're throwing up? Or what about water makes you wanna throw up? And how do you manage to poop in the pool? I honestly don't understand some people.
