Work Sucks, I Know: Issue #63

by admin ·

Have a lousy job? Friends, family, and coworkers alike tired of listening to you complain? Well, send your stories here and lift some of the burden off of your already crushed soul. No drug test required.

I was working at a haunted house and my job was to basically get violently murdered every time a new group of kids came in. One time as the kids were clearing out, one of their dads groped me.

A few weeks ago at the clothing store I work for, a woman came in demanding a refund for some destroyed-style jeans her daughter had purchased, which she claimed were damaged. I politely asked her if she could please point out the damage for me and hand me her receipt (which she didn’t have). She replied by asking me if I was “f*cking retarded” and motioned to the intentional rips down the front of the jeans.

I was babysitting a very spoiled little girl and her mother asked me to get her to clean her room before the maid came. The room was not that messy, but two soiled pull-ups lay on the floor. The little girl agrees to carry one pull-up to the trashcan downstairs, but proceeds to throw a 30 minute tantrum because I refused to dispose of the other pull-up for her. The girl was 8 years old.

Our only IT guy at work won’t let me download Firefox because he’s afraid it will give my computer a virus. Instead, I’ve been using an out-dated version of Internet Explorer.

As I turned 16 I decided to get a job at McDonald’s. During my first hour, I was asked to work in the back-room, as the guy in their was having some problems, I was told. It turned out the guy couldn’t read (not so much of a problem with that, I’m just setting a scene).
Anyway, after the hour I was sent to learn French Fries. The guy teaching me was an odd sort – mainly as he didn’t utter a word to me. After 10 minutes, I saw he drop something into the vat of fat, just out the corner of my eye. He then went on to reach INTO the bubbling hot fat to fish it out whatever it was that he dropped. 5 minutes of screaming followed, he then went to the hospital.
After that some one got electrocuted playing with a plug socket.

Honest.
One love McD.

Today a ‘fresh off the streets’ bum came into work looking for a job and we told him we were full staffed and not hiring. He was nice but kind of loopy and giggly. He then said he had a Louisville slugger bat at home that he would happily use on new hires’ kneecaps in order to get the job. He was laughing but, I don’t get the idea he was joking.

I used to work at a movie theater a 20 theater cineplex, and one day a big festival in town was rained out. We had three ushers on shift(the clean up people), and one had to tear tickets, well every movie was sold out, and the managers refused to call anyone in. Well the other usher and I had to push all the trash under the seats, and at the end of the day i left a note to the Night crew saying sorry, and why it was so dirty. the next day my manager chews me out for telling the night crew how he was to cheap to have some more people come in.

I work in the IT Dept. We had a server crash over the weekend.

I came in on Monday and had our HR manager ask me to make sure we let her know in advance the next time it’s going to happen.

I Should Warn you, I’m Psychic

by admin ·

Before we begin this job interview at your fine establishment, you should know I carry a dark secret. No, not the felony thing. We’ve been over the felony thing- just listen, okay? The secret, my dear sir, is that I am gifted with psychic powers.

How you chuckle. My my, how you chuckle.

You might question me like so many others, but as you stare deep into my eyes you’ll see your own eyes reflecting back at you, terrified, and you’ll freak out because, haha, I just stole your eyes.

Eye-stealing is just a thing us psychics do.

Am I qualified to be your new barista? No. But am I qualified to see the mysteries of fate unfold before me? Yes. Also, wait, I am totally qualified to be your new barista.
Maybe I should just start over.

Yes Mr.Rubin, I am indeed psychic. People have…scorned my abilities before. The other children used to mock me cruelly, calling me names like “Fatty”, “Fatso” and “Lord Fatterson, Duke of Whales” just because I happened to be psychic. As an adult that mockery turned to fear and anger as the normals claimed with my powers, I was tampering with the laws of nature and also their locks. They even had the audacity to ask why I was doing my funny spaceman dance at Mr.McGuire’s wake. And do you know what happened to them? Do you!? Well I do. Because I’m psychic.

Just by talking briefly to a woman in a bar, I can tell you if she was probably just a bitch anyway and wasn’t even that hot and we should find a different bar because the girls here are stuck-up. Merely by glancing at someone, I can tell you if they are secretly Black. And most impressively, I can hypnotize people into doing most anything, just by giving orders while waving my magic ‘gun’ around.

And if I weren’t psychic, how could I predict all those reports about and a super-cool gunman
even before the police completely blew it out of proportion?

A resume? Forget such trifles. Would you ask for a resume from the man who was Snoop Dogg in a past life? I don’t think you quite understand the extent of my powers. Sir, I can move objects using only the power of my hands. I bet on sporting events when I know the outcome already, laughing with malicious joy I place down my wager for already-promised riches.

Unfortunately, my bookie, Psychic Paul, is even more psychic than I.

Women ask me to bless their babies with the bountiful gift of my child support payments. Men ask me to bless them with the bountiful gift of leaving their wives alone. I am feared, loved, feared again, generally resented, pitied, then asked to leave the library quietly, sir.

People sometimes ask me if it’s difficult being psychic, if it somehow takes the magic out of living to see the whole path of life stretched out before me like a banquet. They wonder if the vastness of the infinite, that web of possibility that is multiplied by every choice, every chance, and every flap of a butterfly’s wings could surely drive any man mad. How then can I hold such immense divine knowledge and still retain my sense of humanity?

To them I respond being psychic is something like being drunk, in the sense that I am.

That’s usually when the vomit train pulls in.

There are of course skeptics who say I’m no psychic. They go to all sorts of insane lengths to challenge me, pulling out “questions” and asking for “proof”. I have tried to quiet such skeptics with extra-sensory feats before, such as correctly revealing the intimate thoughts and affairs of a family I have never even met before, the Kardashians, but even this was not enough for them. Neither was the feat of when I correctly predicted 100 straight coin-flips, even when they flipped almost half of them wrong so they didn’t count. And even my legendary ability to make women extremely uncomfortable without even saying even saying a word was found lacking to confirm my abnormal talents. Ultimately it took my finest psychic act to convince them: I correctly predicted they were about to get punched right in their stupid faces. Such visionary genius elicited the praise I deserved as well as numerous requests for me to stop punching them, please.

I’m not a right fit for the job? So be it. Well, thank you for your time anyway, Mr.Rubin. I wish you the best of luck in finding a barista, and I offer my sincerest condolences for the mysterious upcoming dents on your car outside.

Work Sucks, I Know: Issue #59

by admin ·

Have a lousy job? Friends, family, and coworkers alike tired of listening to you complain? Well, send your stories here and lift some of the burden off of your already crushed soul. No drug test required.

I work at a large department store in the electronics section. One time, i was doing some cleaning, when i noticed a man climbing the racks that held the TV’s. I asked him “Excuse me sir?” and he promptly responded with “Don’t worry, i am just plugging in this microwave”. Confused, i walked off and called a manager, but before i could even get through to them, i heard the microwave in use, and went back over to see what was happening. The man was using the microwave to cook his noodles. I started to laugh, and in the middle of my hysterics, he walked over to the counter and grabbed at the store pager. Before i could reach him, he spoke into the microphone, for the whole store to hear “Hey Brett, your noodles are ready at the electronics section”. I had a hard time explaining how this was allowed to happen to my manager.

I work on the helpdesk of an IT company, and one day my boss tells me that one of the hard drives in one of the servers has failed. He asked me to go into the server room and find out which drive had a red light on it, as opposed to a green light. There are around 200 hard drives, and I am red-green colourblind. I spent 20 minutes searching for a red light before I gave up.

I work as a radio host in a small town. Now, radio announcers are a breed all their own. We are all pretty weird but our fans are straight out of the wood work. I had this one regular listener who liked to email me during the show. One day the guy is going on about bacon and tells me about the whole case of bacon he just bought. He proceeded to tell me how he likes to cook his bacon and then asked and I quote “do you also like to fry up and eat bacon?” I also got some request letters from listeners in prison. For some reason, some of them sent letters written in red ink and it shows through the envelope. Needless to say, I’m always relieved to open red written letter to find that it’s pen and not blood.

I work at a grocery store as a stock boy, and one day as I finished stocking the ice cream section a lady comes up and asks where a specific brand of non sugar ice cream is. After I tell her that we do not carry that particular brand she proceded to freak out because a different store in the city has it and she knocks down all the ice cream off the shelves i just finished stocking. It took me an hour clean it up.
Johnny Hopkins

I work as a shift-runner at a local pizza restaurant. The other day, we were robbed at gunpoint about thirty minutes before closing time. The robber got what he wanted and no employees got injured. As per company policy, we locked the doors after he left and called the police and the store owner. I’m the only employee who didn’t have their phone stolen, and am trying to get a hold of the owner. I called both his house and cell phone more than twenty times each. Finally, I left a voicemail explaining the situation and asked him to call us back as soon as possible. Ten minutes later, he calls back and asks “Did you guys just get robbed? How much money did we lose?” The conversation goes on for about four or five minutes and ended with me finally saying, “Oh, and nobody got injured in case you were wondering…”

I work in a nice restaurant in a rich suburb and typically have to deal with snooty assholes with ridiculous demands. There’s this one regular who frequently comes in and tells her server just a little too much about her life. Her latest story- how she was attacked by a man with a knife who is now in prison until 2036. All i wanted to do was drop off her wine, but she kept me there for 10 minutes to describe every horrifyingly graphic detail of the attack. Who does that??
Maddie Corydon

I got a job as a busboy at a new restaurant in town, and in the mornings before opening they made us stock the bathrooms and one morning my buddy and i were cleaning the womens bathroom, which was usually more disgusting due to tampons, and in the handicap stall there was this small bag with brown marks on it. My buddy thought it was a sun glass case, he touched it and i screamed when i recognized what it was, a colonostomy , or shit-bag for post surgery people. So i gloved up and picked it up while shit started to flow out of the opening and drip on the floor. Guess who cleaned that up too.

I work as a reporter for a small newspaper, which is actually a pretty cool job. But, because we are small, I sometimes field customer calls. One time a lady called with two complaints. She wanted to cancel her newspaper because there wasn’t enough news in the paper, which was, of course, a legitimate complaint. Her other beef? Not enough obituaries.
Ben Montgomery

So, I work at an ice cream shop. I was working the drive-thru intercom, and I had to pee REALLY bad. Pretty much to the point that it was all I could think about. The next car rolled up, and instead of saying the usual “Hi, can I help you?” I accidentally said “Hi, can I go to the bathroom?” The guy in the car said “I don’t know, can you?” I ran straight to the bathroom, and didn’t tell anyone until a while later. The girl who helped him was a confused why one guy kept making bathroom references at her.
ice cream girl :)

I work at a chain subshop and I am running the store by myself. We have a bell on the counter for people to ring if somebody isn’t up front. Usually people ring it once but while I was in the back doing dishes a man decided to ring it over and over again until I appear. He then procedes to tell me “About time you made it up here.” With this comment I assume he’s in a hurry but turns out he has no idea what he wants. So after staring at the menu board for what felt like forever he starts to ask me how much everything costs. He is staring at the board, at the prices and was still asking me. So I’m annoyed at his stupid question but then he drops a real gem of a question. “Is the $5 footlong and 12 inch or a 6 inch?”
Meg Kirsch

I work in a health food store and I always try to be extra considerate when i see old men in the men’s “performance” sextion. While helping one very open customer, he started going into descriptive and highly graphic detail about his troubles with his unit. I sent him on his way with a product to help, and I was left with an overmhelming need to shower. About a month later he comes back with rave reviews about the product, again with great detail about how long he lasted, what it felt like, the quality of his orgasm (ick) and he topped it all by letting me know “I thought of you when I finished”.

When I was working at one of the first jobs I had, McDonalds, I received a “fun” chore. My boss comes to me and asks that I throw the rest of the garbage bags that are on the compactor room floor into the compactor.

Doesn’t sound so bad, but it was the middle of winter and the compactor had shut down from the cold. So everyone was simply dropping the full bags of garbage on the cold concrete floor (eventualy resorting to throwing them into the room from the doorway) and it had been pilling up for the last week or so. There was so many bags that the floor was not visible and to get to the compactor I had to do the deep-snowbank-step overtop. Garbage hills were raised up on the sides of the walls. Since it was winter and the bags used thin plastic, the McD’s excrement that had seeped out of the bags had frozen to the floor and each other. This made it impossible to pick up a bag without a high chance of the bag ripping and its contents spilling out. I managed to get the compactor working again and crushed loads of garbage at intervals, but it kept shutting down from the cold, requiring me to stand there manning the on and activate buttons. My supervisor made regular visits to ask me to hurry up.

I managed to clean the entire rotten, frozen amount of garbage into the compactor in two hours in below freezing temperatures. God I stank after that. Cleaned myself up in the bathroom and went back to work.

I worked at a summer camp over the past three summers and I taught a class to help boys earn a badge of merit focusing on patriotism. A requirement is that you keep up with national news for five days, so we read articles each day of class. One kid wanted to read, so I let him. He used his “black lady voice.” This class was all white boys, ages 11-14, so I say “Tell me to stop eating all the chicken in that accent.” He looks at me, in front of everybody, and says, “The way we spell chicken is F – R – I – E – D, motha fucka!”

4-Year-Old’s Optimism Just Making Things Worse For Area Family

by admin ·

MARION, AR—Though intended to cheer up family members, the unflagging optimism of 4-year-old Shelby Cooper has served only to exacerbate the financial stress her parents have experienced since her father lost his job two years ago, sources reported Monday. “It used to make me smile when she’d say, ‘Don’t worry! You’ll get a million dollars!’” said Ken Cooper, admitting he has since grown to dread his daughter’s good-luck nose kisses. “But now when she crawls onto my lap and tells me I shouldn’t be sad because I’m the strongest Daddy in the whole world, it just makes me feel like an even bigger failure.” At press time, Shelby was coloring a picture of her mother, who when reached for comment said drawings of her leaving the hospital on a rainbow only made her worry more about how the family would pay for her cancer treatments.

So I work as a cashier at a large electronics store. One day while I was working a man comes up to pay for some ink and a few cables. As I am giving him his receipt and his items he hands me a some money and says, “I think you deserve a tip.” After he leaves I look at the money and its a $1,000,000,000 bill with a bunch of religious writing on it about how money is evil and only religion can save you.

I work as a security guard at a hospital. The other night I called up to a room to “fix a problem” with one of the TVs. Apparently, we get soft-core porn on that channel, and the patient was refusing to let us turn it off

I work at a health food store as a cashier, and today when ringing up a fairly large woman, she pulled her money out of her bra to pay. My first thought was how “classy” this was and then as i grabbed the money, my second thought was how gross this was!! It was covered in what i hope was sweat and not breast milk, and stunk like a full garbage truck on a mid-summer’s afternoon. I guess my face reflected how i felt about the smell and wetness because then she said “You don’t have to be so rude about it, I didn’t have pockets to put it in.”

I had just started working at a retirement home and although I didn’t have any former experience in the line of work, I liked it. However, about a week after I started I was alone for two hours (between shifts) and was panicking a bit, scared that something would go wrong. A resident’s sister was visiting and they where in her room. Suddenly, the alarm that one press when something bad is happening went of from her room. I ran over, scared shitless, just to be greeted by the sister who says “We would like two cups of coffee, please.”
Sara T

I used to work at a university IT Center. My job was mainly to help the students that walked in to use the computers. One day, a student walked in, she was pretty old, probably in her late 50s. Anyways, I’m sitting down on a table and she sits next to me. She sits down, greets me, and out of nowhere asks, “You wanna meet my little friend?” before pulling a turtle out of her pocket.
Gilbert Anonymous

I started working at a bar/restaurant as a cook at the beginning of summer classes in college to help out with bills and such. Anyways, a month and a half into the job I notice the deep freezer that I had cleaned out, unplugged and left open was on and shut. I open it, to see a blanket in there. Me, being kind of curious as to why there is a blanket in the freezer, started digging around in it. A few seconds of digging I felt fur. Then I saw fur and that it was just a deer carcass. An hour after that event, I was asked by my boss to help him carry something quick. He needed help carrying the “deer” carcass out. So, I asked why is he freezing the carcass as a whole. He says its not a deer, but his dog that had just died the day before. Alright, back to cooking I go, as well as soaking my hands in bleach before I did anything else that night.
John Doe

I worked in a hardware store and we don’t usually get the smartest customers. I believe the best time was a lady coming up to me with two packs of AA Batteries. She then proceeded to ask me what the difference was between the 8AA and the 16AA batteries. I then had to explain that was the number of batteries in the package, the see-through package, which was twice as big as the other one.

Sally Interview (Hooter’s Waitress)

by admin ·

Hooter’s Waitress Sally InterviewAugusta

Sally, how are you doing today? I’m good.

Can you tell us a little bit about your job as a Hooter’s girl?
It’s fun. We do a lot of bikini contests. We are having one on April 28th ya’ll should stop by if your in the neighborhood.

So, do you make good money working at Hooter’s? I work day shift so I only make about $50.00 in tips. The night shift girls make a lot more than I do.

Are you also going to school?
Right now I go to Darton college… just for my general studies.  I plan on going to the New York Film Academy when I’m done with all that.

When did you graduate from high school? Last year 2006.

Have you ever done any nude modeling? No, I would do a nude photo only if it was tasteful. Now, if playboy asked that would be different I’d be like hell yeah.

Have you ever dated a guy who you met while at work?  I‘ve been on a couple dates with some guys I met while working.  None of them were keepers.  They think that because you work at Hooters your gonna give it up.  That’s not true.  Maybe some of the girls will but not me.

Next time I go to Hooter’s, what is the best thing I can do to get on the good side of my waitress when I first get there? Go up to a girl and ask her where are her tables at… It makes us feel like you want us to sit with you and we will treat you nicer.  Whatever you do not shake your glass to get are attention that is so f’ed up.

What is the average tip for a $10 dinner? If the girl was horrible tip her a dollar just for trying.  If she was sweet and did everything right, always had your drink full give her $5.00.  Remember we live off are tips.  I only get paid $2.13 an hour.

What do you honestly think of the orange shorts?
They are so ugly.  I love wearing my black ones.  The orange shorts is what Hooter’s is known for so I have to like them.

What rules does Hooter’s make you girls follow? We have to wear a lot of makeup.  You can not have tats. If you do (like me) you have to cover them up with makeup. You can not wear jewelry, even if you are married.  Your boyfriend can not visit you at work, and you can not hangout after work.  If you are seen wearing your uniform outside of work you will get fired.

Have you ever fooled around with a boyfriend while wearing the Hooter’s outfit? No not yet. haha

Have you ever fooled around at Hooter’s? No, like I said your man is not allowed at Hooter’s.  Plus they have cameras everywhere.

What’s the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you as a waitress? I’ve dropped plates filled with food before.  The most embarrassing thing for me is this one time I went to ask if everything okay, but I burped! haha

Is there anything else you would like to talk about? Yeah, Come to the hooters of Albany, Georgia. Sit at my table and give me a fat tip.  Go to the Bikini contest April 28th!!  Vote for me its my first one.

Well, thanks for your time.
Thank you, SnowMan!  This interview made my day.  Viva AfroSquad!

Chrissy Rivera Interview (Wrestler)

by admin ·

AfroSquad Exclusive Interview:
CZW’s Chrissy Rivera, Manager of Champions

Chrissy, can you give us a basic bio on yourself?
Well my name is Christina but most people know me as Chrissy. I’m 25 years old.  I am originally from Staten Island New York, but I currently living in South Jersey. I am half Puerto Rican and half Italian, so I possess master skill in both tire slashing and cement shoe making! I have a full time job during the day, college student by night, and pro wrestler/manager on the weekends.

Who trained you as a wrestler?
I was originally trained by Neeno Capone then was taken under the wing of Jon Dahmer.

What have been your biggest moments in wrestling?
Some of my biggest moments would have to be joining BLK OUT in 2006. Ruckus, Sabian, Robbie, Joker and Eddie have all taught me so much about wrestling and I owe a lot to them. Another moment would be managing the Genius Lanny Poffo who is my ALL TIME FAVORITE. It was great working with him. Working in Canada was also a great moment in my career. The fans are absolutely wonderful and I hope to go back soon!

Have you taken any nasty bumps?
Being in the business and working for CZW!  It is basically a given that you will take some nasty bumps. I will do whatever it takes for my boys to win, even if it means having to go through a table or taking a kendo stick to the behind every now and then.  (I’d like to thank Noel Harlow for the kendo stick marks across my behind!)

You seem to have a lot of marijuana references on your page. What do you think about Mary Jane?
HAHA! Well asking about my thoughts on Mary Jane is like asking a girl her weight! You just don’t do that! If you wanna know more, Google BLK OUT and that should speak for itself.

For the folks who don’t know, what is Blackout?
BLK OUT is the most successful & talented stable in indy wrestling today. The group consists of Ruckus, Sabian, Joker, Robbie, Eddie Kingston & myself. BLK OUT is very well known and each member bring something special to the group.

Do you date any wrestlers?
I have dated wrestlers in the past. I don’t have a preference, or that I date ONLY wrestlers. I try to date people who make me happy and are not PSYCHO!  Why, is the Mulletmaster single?

Do you have any desire to work for the WWE?
No. Now don’t get me wrong, if the WWE came knocking on my door, offering a contract, I would accept. It would be a great opportunity.  However, I am not trying to work for the WWE. I do have tons of respect for the company and roster.  They all work very hard day in and day out.

The WWE management seems to like female wrestlers with breast implants. What do you think about breast implants?
I have nothing negative to say about implants. If it makes you happy, why not? I have no desire to get them, but some people feel they need to get them to feel better about themselves. I say if it makes you happy then do it.

Where can fans see you?
Come check out Combat Zone Wrestling at the old ECW arena. They usually run on the second Saturday of every month. Also come check out Maryland Championship Wrestling, ACW in Denver, pa and DCW in Delaware. You can check out my myspace page (www. myspace. com/chrissy_rivera) for my wrestling schedule and calender for dates and times.

What is your current theme song?
It varies, usually whatever BLK OUT comes out to. When I wrestle alone I usually come out to “Boom Boom Boom” by the Vengaboys.

Can you tell us something cool about yourself?
Hmmm. I don’t know anything “cool” but i used to play a lot of sports. Soccer, field hockey and cheerleading. I also used to be on the drill team in school.

What would be your dream match?
I would have loved to wrestle Sherri Martel. I have so much respect for that woman, she was TOUGH and didn’t take crap from anyone!

Where do you see yourself in five years?
Hopefully happy and healthy. I want to have a good job, eventually move from my apartment into a house. Who knows where five years and wrestling will take me? I may still be wrestling or I may not.  I just hope to be successful.

Is there anything else you’d like to talk about?

Check out www. czwrestling. com, www. marylandwrestling. com and Youtube for BLK OUT clips and matches!!!

WE GIVE OUT A DVD CALLED “PORN 101″ WHICH INCLUDES ALL OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS AT AIM HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION THIS DVD IS OVER 1 HOUR LONG, AND WE ALSO COUNSEL EACH NEW PERSON FOR 1/2 HOUR ON HIV AND STDS WHEN THEY FIRST COME INTO THE INDUSTRY.  MOST IMPORTANTLY, GET TESTED AT AIM (WE ARE NATIONAL NOW) EACH MONTH FOR HIV BY PCR/DNA EARLY DETECTION TEST, AND CHLAMYDIA AND GONORRHEA EACH MONTH.  UPON ENTERING GET A PAP SMEAR, AND A FULL CHECK UP, INCLUDING VACCINATIONS FOR HEPATITIS, AND GARDISIL, THE VACCINATION FOR HPV.  AND ABOVE ALL “DON”T FUCK TO GET THE JOB, THAT IS THE JOB.”  IN MARCH, OUR PORN 101 WILL BE STREAMING VIDEO ON OUR SITE, AIM-MED.ORG AND FOR GENERAL PUBLIC SXCHECK.COM

What recommendations do you have to the thousands of people who perform on adult websites?  PLEASE, GET TESTED AND USE CONDOMS WHENEVER POSSIBLE.  MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING BEFORE  YOU START, AND DON’T DO ANYTHING NEW ONLINE, OR ON  TAPE OR FILM, TRY IT AT HOME FIRST.

What are the dangers in the adult industry?  IN THE ADULT INDUSTRY, ONE COULD GET ANYTHING FROM THE FLU TO HIV, YOU MUST LEARN TO PROTECT YOURSELF THE BEST YOU CAN. SAY NO, WHEN YOU DON’T WANT TO DO SOMETHING, KEEP YOUR BOUNDARIES HIGH, LIKE YOUR PAYSCALE, AND DON’T EVER SETTLE FOR LESS. THERE ARE JUST AS MANY GREAT PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY AS THERE ARE PEOPLE WITH LESS THAN GOOD INTENTIONS, TRY TO “HOOK UP” WITH THE WINNERS, AS YOU WILL BE ASKED TO PUSH YOU LIMITS, SO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE BEFORE YOU START. I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD MANY A HORROR STORY, AND IT CAN BE HELPED BY FOLLOWING SIMPLE ADVICE. FOR A COMPLETE LIST OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS, SEE AIM-MED.ORG

Can you share any interesting stories from your medical career? OF COURSE! I SUPPOSE THE MOST INTERESTING STORIES IS ONE DAY I WAS WORKING AT AIM, WHEN THE PHONE RANG, AND THE VOICE ON THE OTHER END ASKED, “DR. MITCHE, HOW MANY CHOP STICKS CAN I SAFELY INSERT IN MY WIFE FOR THIS VIDEO?”  I THOUGHT, NOW WHERE IN ALL MY TRAINING AND EDUCATION WOULD I HAVE LEARNED THAT??  SO I SAID “I’M NOT SURE, BUT MAKE SURE THEY ARE STERILE PLASTIC, AND ALWAYS INSERT FROM THE MIDDLE”.  (IT TURNED OUT TO BE OVER 200!!)

How did you get started in your career?I WAS DOING A TV SOAP OPERA IN NEW YORK CITY, WHEN MY LEGITIMATE AGENT ASKED ME, DID I WANT TO DO A SEX FILM? I SAID SURE! I SHOT “THAT LADY FROM RIO”, WITH VANESSA DEL RIO”, AND LOVED IT! I STAYED FOR 21 YEARS!

We’ve seen you interviewed on numerous documentaries and reality shows.  Why do you think people respect you so much? WELL,  I SUPPOSE IT IS MY JOURNEY, I’VE COME FROM BEING A PORN STAR, I’VE BEEN A DRUG ADDICT, TO BECOMING A DOCTOR, I THINK FOLKS LIKE TO HEAR SUCCESS STORIES, AND IT SEEMS TO INSPIRE PEOPLE.

Haven’t you been a driving force or in establishing self-imposed industry standards?  What have you done?  I HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN STARTING THE ONLY ADULT INDUSTRY CLINICAL TESTING STANDARDS THAT EXIST FOR HIV, STD SCREENING, AS WELL AS COUNSELING PROGRAMS FOR DRUG AND ALCOHOL AND “LIFE AFTER PORN COUNSELING AND SCHOLARSHIPS. (AND AGAIN, I DON’T HAVE TIME TO WRITE ALL THE STANDARDS THEY ARE CLEARLY LISTED ON AIM-MED.ORG)

Where do you see yourself in five years? HOPEFULLY PARTIALLY RETIRED, AFTER TAKING AIM GLOBAL, ALONG WITH SXCHECK, MY OTHER ONLINE CLINIC FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

If you had one wish, what would you change about the adult industry? I WISH THAT TALENT COULD GET RESIDUALS FOR THE GOOD WORK THAT THEY DO, SO THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW FOR THE TIME THEY SENT IN PORN. NOT MANY FOLKS SAVE THEIR MONEY WHILE THEY ARE IN THE INDUSTRY, SO I BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD HELP.

I saw you in a biography when you gave a test to Ron Jeremy.  How do you think HIV has changed the adult industry? IN ONE SENSE I KNOW IT HAS MADE THE INDUSTRY SAFER, AS WE SEE HIV EVERY MONTH AT AIM FROM TALENT WHO IS TESTING FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND THANK GOD THAT THEY ARE REQUIRED TO GET AN AIM TEST, BEFORE THEY WORK, OR HIV WOULD CLEARLY BE TRANSMITTED, AND PROBLEM, IF THEY HAD NOT TESTED WITH US FIRST.  IN ANOTHER SENSE I FEEL THAT THE TESTING GIVES TALENT A “FALSE SENSE” OF SECURITY,  AS THEY FEEL THEY ARE BULLET PROOF IF THEY HAVE OR WORK WITH SOMEONE WHO HAS A NEGATIVE TEST.  AS THESE TESTS ARE ONLY GOOD FOR 12 DAYS BEFORE TO THE DAY THAT THEY ARE DRAWN.  TALENT CAN STILL CATCH HIV, AND WE COULDN’T FIND IT UNTIL 12 DAYS AFTER EXPOSURE, AND SOMEONE COULD STILL BE WORKING AND SPREAD HIV DURING THE 30 DAYS THAT THEY GO IN BETWEEN TESTING. YES, IT’S A SHORT WINDOW PERIOD, AND WE DO CATCH HIV VERY EARLY, BUT AIM’S TESTING PROGRAM IS MEANT TO STOP THE SPREAD OF AN INDUSTRY OUTBREAK EARLY, WE CANNOT PREVENT IT FROM ENTERING, WHEN PEOPLE HAVE OUTSIDE RISKY BEHAVIOR IN THEIR PRIVATE LIVES.

Do you have a website? DRSHARONMITCHELL.COM, SXCHECK, AIM-MED.ORG

How can people contact your facility?   SXCHECK.COM & AIM -MED.ORG, AND TEST ONLINE, OR CALL (818) 981-5681, What services do you offer? HIV,STD TESTING AND TREATMENT AND COUNSELING, DRUG AND ALCOHOL PROGRAMS, COUPLES AND INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING, ONLINE TESTING, AND OF COURSE, GENERAL, AND GYNECOLOGICAL MEDICAL HEALTH CARE AS WE HAVE DOCTORS ON STAFF 5 DAYS EACH WEEK. AIM IS A WALK IN FACILITY SO NO APPOINTMENT IS NECESSARY.

Are there a lot of STDs in the adult industry? NO, DUE TO THE CONSTANT SCREENING IT’S ABOUT 2%, IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC FOR THE SAME AGE RANGE IT’S ABOUT 12%, SO WE ARE CONSIDERABLY LOWER THAN THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

Are there any companies that you think do the best job of caring for their performers? WICKED, OBVIOUSLY, AS THEY ARE CONDOM ONLY, AND AS A CLINICIAN, I HAVE TO SAY THAT IS ABOUT AS SAFE AS ONE COULD BE, TESTING AND CONDOMS!

Is there anything else that you would like to say to the 20,000 of our monthly readers? YES! GET TESTED REGULARLY FOR HIV AND STDS IF YOU ARE SEXUALLY ACTIVE! AND BE KIND TO YOUR FELLOW MAN, AS THE WORLD GROWS SMALLER, PEOPLE ARE LOOSING PATIENCE, SO BE HAPPY, SLOW DOWN, AND SMELL THE FLOWERS WHILE THERE ARE SOME LEFT!! STAY SAFE AND SEXY, DR. SHARON MITCHELL

Well, thanks for your time.  Good luck in the future.
