Tie between the bomb threat where the boss made me go back in with the police to show them the lockers and at lunch one day when I was held at gunpoint in an armed bank robbery.

This year, New Year’s Eve celebrations are going to be looking quite different. I recently read an article about fascinating NYE traditions from around the world, and I wanted to share with you! What are YOUR New Year’s Eve traditions? Comment below!
Japan: Eat toshikoshi soba
To commemorate New Year’s Eve, people in Japan eat toshikoshi soba. This symbolizes having a long and fortunate life along with a clean break from the year.Denmark: Jump off a chair
In Denmark, you JUMP right into the new year! Just before midnight, stop what you’re doing and get on a chair and jump just like the Danes. If you forget to jump, it’s said that you’ll bring bad luck for the following year, so set your reminder!Spain: Eat 12 grapes
In Spain, people eat grapes for good luck. To carry out this tradition, eat 12 grapes, known as las doce uvas de la suerte, handy. When the clock chimes at midnight, eat one with each clang.Costa Rica: Run your suitcase around the block
The tradition is popular across Latin America. At midnight, grab a suitcase and run around the block in the hopes of traveling in the new year!Greece: Hang some onions
In Greece, onions symbolize rebirth, so people hang them up on their doors to encourage a year of growth and prosperity.Ecuador: Burn effigies
In Ecuador people head outside to burn effigies (sculptures that represent a person or idea) that symbolize the year. By lighting the effigy on fire, you’re letting the bad energy and memories of the year go and moving onto the next.Russia: Burn... then sip your wishes
For this Russian tradition, write down your wishes for 2021 on a piece of paper just before midnight, then light the paper on fire. Once it’s stopped burning, sprinkle the wish-filled ashes into a glass of champagne and drink up after the clock strikes midnight!!
Sept 11 2001 at 1290 avenue of the Americas in NYC I will never forget seeing hundreds of people holding their cell phones in the air outside the building trying to get a signal. Took out 400 dollars from ATM and did not hesitate to accept the fee. #shareyourstory
Last #Thanksgiving Eve, I was bartending at a local hotspot in the Boston area. (In case you didn't know... the night before Turkey Day is the BIGGEST drinking night of the year in the United States.)
We were short staffed and it was just myself and one other bartender ... BOY did we get rocked! We were so busy that a barback from a different restaurant next door came in to help us. In just 5 hours, we did more sales than we had the last two FULL DAYS combined!!!
I walked out of work at 5:15 AM that morning, feeling like I got trampled by a herd of wild animals. Nearly a year later and I still cringe when I hear someone order a "vodka, soda, splash of cran".... 🍸

Jason Woodworth LINE COOK 21 YEARS OLD Kalamazoo, MI 49009 MY STORY
What is one thing about your work that most people don't know?
Everybody makes mistakes when they're working in a kitchen. I find myself making complex meals without much knowledge of the meal itself. The plate a customer receives is often slightly different than what it was intended to be. Typically, the only indicator that a meal wasn't successfully prepared is if the customer sends it back to the kitchen, which rarely happens.
What makes you most proud of the work you do?
At the end of an insanely busy night at the restaurant, it feels good to know that I really worked hard. I feel proud when I see myself doing things like managing stress, effectively communicating, and being a generally efficient line cook. When things get hectic in the kitchen, you have to keep a level head and trust in your own abilities. When the busy rush is finally over, there's a sense that you've truly earned your pay for that shift.

Scott Little Bridge Technician 52 years old Bluffton, OH 45817
What is one thing about your work that most people don't know
I inspect bridges and culverts to assure they're safe. Then I enter all of the data into the computer.
What makes you most proud of the work you do?
Everyone assumes the bridges are safe they drive over. Most of them are. It's one less worry in our lives.

Actually it’s not the job that is worst , it’s the people who are in the higher position in the industry, like your employer, the manager , the supervisor and your line lead if you have one . Job is a job and somebody needs to do it , each individual in our life have a destiny . You can be a Taxi driver , a garbage collector for your city , a nurse , a doctor , an architect, an engineer, a physical therapist, a caregiver , a businessman/ business woman , proprietors of different business, anything that makes the world go round , the worst is the people that runs the business of where you work , your manager , supervisor and whoever have the higher position that become power hungry and start treating you bad and being the TOXIC in the environment, that’s the WORST thing to happen when you encounter people like those , when the power goes over their head it drains your energy and makes your life miserable and force yourself to quit the job you love .
