Best Day
When someone tried selling us a Saving Private Ryan DVD, the disc inside was Weapons of Ass Destruction 2. I laughed for half an hour.
Worst Day
When I got laid off.
What I Like
The bosses trusted you to do your job. It was a laid back atmosphere.
What I Dislike
It got really repetitive.

Personal Comments
If the company hadn’t gone bust I probably would still be working there.
