One day at work
I'm going to tell you a crazy story that happened to me at work. It all started when I was 14 years old. The teachers told us that we need to get some work experience so I decided to be a newspaper boy.
On a sunny Monday, I was riding my bike with a bag full of newspapers. I handed out a few newspapers, and then I saw an old house. I rang the bell and i heard an old man's voice saying: "Come in". At first i thought that it was a weak old man who couldn't open the door. So i decided to come in. I saw some old furniture in the hall, it looked expensive. I heard the TV from the room which was on my right. I went into the room and I saw an old man sitting on the sofa and watching TV. As I was trying to pull out the newspaper, I felt something cold on my head. I turned around and I saw a man in a black suit who was standing in front of me with a gun pointed at me. Suddenly, I fainted. When I woke up, I saw the two of them above my head. The old man was saying: "Why did you scare him? He's just a newspaper boy". The man in a black suit sad: "I thought that he was pulling out a gun". The man in the black suit apologized to me. He had thought that I was a robber and I wanted to rob and kill his boss. For my silence they gave me a cheque for one thousand dollars. I accepted it and I ran out of the house. The funny part is that i forgot my bike, so I used the cheque to buy a new.
The next day I quit my job. When they asked me why, I said: " I don't want to talk about it". This is the first time that I'm telling anyone about that day.

One day at work
It was a normal morning, I think. My alarm went off at 7 o’clock. So I got off my bed and started walking like a zombie all the way to the bathroom. When I looked at the mirror I saw nothing else but disaster. So I got ready and I took a taxi to my work. When I came to the restaurant, the place where I work for almost 8 years, I changed at my uniform and served a couple of people. Then in the restaurant walked in nobody else but president Obama himself! He was with his family. So I called my boss to see who came and he told me to go and serve them, I said:'' Heck yea I will''. So I walked to their table and said: '' Good afternoon, how are you today'', as I do to all customers, and he said: I'm great thanks for asking, how about you?'' I said: ‘Oh could be better’ ‘So he ordered lunch, a big one, and a couple drinks. When it was time for them to leave it was time for me to go home too, because it was the end of my shift, then he asked me how much was it and I said oh it's all one me, don’t worry. Then he was like oh okay then, but I would like to make it up to you somehow. So he gave me a ride home in his big, white limo, and I had a couple of drinks, it was amazing! The next morning I got a call from his doughter, they invited me to come over for lunch and I said sure I will come. I got all dressed up and the white limo from last night was waiting for me in front of my building. So I got to the White House and I came inside and it was all wonderful and well organized. After the lunch I took a taxi home. I had a great time, and a great lunch also. I still couldn't realize what was going on. But I now that those were the two best days in my life

Hello. I'm Ana and I'm 21, I live in New York. I work as a hairdresser in a famous salon in the city center. Another has dawned sunny morning. I woke up to the alarm to work. After half an hour I started to work. When I arrived, there were two more workers. We drank coffee and one went to the store to buy something. She was a woman who had been scheduled. She sat at the chair. I went for a few seconds to pick up what we need to work. When I returned, she was gone. In the mirror appeared a woman with long black hair, but she could not see his face. It looked like it was heading toward me. I ran out and started screaming. At that moment I rang alarm and woke me. On that day, to the store came the same woman that I was in a dream. I ran out and never returned. It is said that this is the legend of the woman whose boyfriend was a hairdresser and that she visited him constantly until he died.

One day at work
I’m going to tell you what happened to me at work. At the time, I was working in a restaurant in a small town called Negotin , Serbia.
That night was not special. There were a lot of people in our restaurant. There were also a woman and a man sitting in the corner. They’re talking and eating chicken nuggets with salad. I noticed how much he loved her. The way he was looking at her was very special. Then he grabbed her hand, put his hand in his pocket and took out a ring. That ring was the most beautiful ring I’d ever seen in my whole life! He asked her to marry him! I was so excited for them, it was so romantic! But, her smile disappeared.
She took his hand and started to cry. She told him something, I didn’t know what. Then he stood up, grabbed her neck and started to strangle her. Everybody tried to stop him and when they pushed him away, he turned around, took a knife from the table and stabbed her in the chest. The blood was everywhere. I called the police and they arrested him. The woman didn’t survive. I was crying a lot, no one could calm me down… After this I found out what she had told him. She told him that she wasn’t ready for the marriage because they knew each other only three months. A beautiful love story turned into tragedy. The next day I quit my job.
I have never returned to that restaurant. Now I’m a hairdresser’s assistant, but that’s another story.

I'm going to tell you a story that happened to me when i was working in a luxury Heston Blumenthal restaurant in London. It's a fancy place that offers outstanding view on Hyde park. It serves various types of meals and dishes, but Heston Blumenthal is famous for their coffee. Then one day at work, while i was serving the customers, i noticed that a man in a black suit was calling me. He looked like an ordinary customer so i went up to him. I asked him: "What would you like to order"? Then suddenly he pulled of a gun and shouted:"Nobody moves" аnd "Everybody down". Everybody were screaming and i was pretty scared to. Then he pointed a gun at me. He wanted to know where the safe is. I took him to the safe when i saw a vase on the desk next to the safe. I quickly took the vase and hit him in the head. He fell down and the people called the police. Everyone was applauding. Then my story was on the newspaper and i went to talk shows all the time. That was 10 years ago and nobody remembers that moment but it was a hell of a story don't you think?

I am going to tell you something that I have never told anyone.
It all started when the new Assassin's Creed game was released. I wanted to buy it but it was too expensive for me. So I needed a job. Some hairdresser needed an assistant to sweep the floor. I started to work there, but after an hour I was bored and I wanted to help her with hairstyling. She didn't let me because I could cut off someone's ear. She went to take a break and I was sweeping the floor at the shop. Suddenly a man walked in the shop and asked me could I cut his hair. I told him that I could so I started cutting his hair and I was actually pretty good. We were talking and everything was great. I was cutting his hair next to his ear when the real hairdresser walked in and started yelling at me. She scared me so I accidently cut the piece of his ear and he started to scream:"AAAAAAAAAAHHH"!! I tried to apology but they didn't listen, the man slap me and the hairdresser fired me. She didn't pay me a single dinar.
I was crying not because I cut that man an ear, it was because I didn't get money for the new Assassin's Creed game.

One sunny day, I was walking through the city and in the boutique through the window I saw a beautiful bag. I asked my mom to buy it for me, but she refused. I was sad and I decided to make some money myself.
I sent an application request for a job as a waitress in a cafe. After a few days they accepted my request. One week later, and I was getting better. Then one day, my favourite actor entered the cafe. I was overjoyed. I approached him and asked him what he wanted to order, he said he wanted coffee. I quickly made some coffee and with great excitement approached his desk. But I was too clumsy and my coffee fell on his white shirt. I quickly brought him a handkerchief to wipe away the stain. I asked him how could I correct my mistake, and he replied, "Just sit down and have some coffee with me.". At that time, I was so happy.
That was my most exciting day on the job and I won't forget about it. But I finally made enough money and bought the bag that I wanted.

One day at work
I love dogs very much so I decided to become a walkie. Yesterday was my first day at my new job.
I got up earlier than I usually do. I was very excited because I didn't know what to expect. I left home earlier to have enough time to pick up all the dogs. First I went to Mrs. Jefimia who has a lot of dogs. She offered me some cookies, and she started to talk about how I must look after her dogs. Then I went to the second dog owner. It was one child who wanted to go with me. His mother asked me to take him to school. I accepted and we set off. We arrived and I tied all eight dogs to a tree in the school yard. We went inside and I took the boy to his classroom. When I went back, the dogs had disappeared. I looked around but I couldn't see any of them. I started to panic and I started to run and look for them. When I got to the back yard I finally found them. The children were playing with them. When I asked the children: “ Why are my dogs with you?”, they said: “We untied them to play with them”. I felt very nervous. I walked to one of the dogs but it ran away. When I tried to catch the second one it started to bark at me. I got very angry and I didn't know how to gather them. Then the children started helping me and everyone caught one dog. I thanked the children for their help. I took all the dogs and I went out of the school yard. After two hours my work time was over and I returned the dogs to their owners. I felt exhausted.
It was a stressful experience for me. I'm not sure if I want to be a walkie again.

I'm going to tell you about one day at work.
I applied for the job of Saturday assistant at the Coffee Pot Restaurant. One of the waiters was ill so I was invited to do his job. Strange thing was that they asked me If I speak German. I didn't understand why, but I said "Yes". And they asked me to come immediately. When I got there, there was a surprise. The boss told me that the Austrian president was sitting at table number 5, and that I had to serve him. I went to take his order. He ordered green tea and ham salad. When it was all ready I just needed to serve him. When I was near his table I tripped over a chair and split hot tea on him. He screamed and jumped up. I was terrified. As I was standing there, he started to laugh. Then I also started to laugh and I apologized to him. Luckily, the tea wasn't too hot so it didn't burn him. I had never been so embarrassed in my life. I offered to take his jacket to the dry cleaner's and to bring him a new cup of tea. He refused that and he offered me 50€ to leave that job and go back to school. He was laughing all the time. He is a good man and he wasn't angry.
I took his advice and havn't tryed to be a waiter after that.

I’m going to describe you my first day working as a film extra because a first day at work is always interesting.
I moved to Los Angeles when I was 23 years old.I didn’t have a job so I sat down on a bench and I started to think what can I do.I remembered when I was little I used to watch a lot of action movies and I always wanted to be a movie star like Bruce Willis or Sylvester Stallone.I made a decision that I want to be in a big action movie.It was easier to find this job because I was in Los Angeles the center of movie production.I went on the internet and I found a job application for an action film called “Eye of the tiger”.In that movie I starred as a film extra and I didn’t really care about that.I was in one scene of the movie where I fought the main protagonist together with a hundred of other film extras.They gave me ten dollars for that movie but money isn’t the reason why I wanted to do this job.I applied for every role that I could apply and at the end it all paid off.
Now I’m working as a most popular actor in the entire Hollywood and when I look back at my first day at work I’m really proud of myself.

One day at work
I'm gonna tell you a story when I was a dog walker. I was 14 years old and I decided to be a walkie, because I loved animals, and I cared about them.
One Saturday at 9:00PM, it was my first day on the job. I was waiting at the park for any dog owners to pass by and ask me to give their dog some exercise. An owner came up to me and asked me if I could walk around the park with his Shiba Inu dog named Larry. I accepted, and he told me that he would be back at 11:00PM. I waited a little bit more for any other requests, then two boys came along and asked me to walk their dogs. One was a Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Ein and another one was a Bloodhound named Jake. When I saw Jake, I was nervous. Because when Bloodhounds catch a scent, they won't stop until they find the source of the smell of where it came from. The two also said that they were gonna be back at 11:00PM. I decided to start walking the three dogs. I knew some people had Cynophobia; a fear of dogs, so I stood away from some Cynophobes at all cost. When the clock reached 10:12PM, I was resting on a bench, at that moment, Jake caught a scent. I knew that something like this would happen, so I held onto the leash. Jake struggled to follow that scent, but I held onto the leash with all my might. In the end, I couldn't hold it anymore, so I let go of the leash. He started following the scent, I was really nervous. I ran after Jake and the other dogs followed me. But as it turns out, the scent was close! The scent was on a tree. Jake found a scent on a tree that caught his attention, I was relieved. The clock reached 10:55PM. It was just about time for me to return the dogs to their owners. Ein, Jake and Larry were pretty good, they listened to me, they followed my orders and they gave me no trouble at all! Except for Jake who gave me a little bit of trouble... Other than that, they were just running around and playing together!
I really liked them, and I hoped that I would be able to see them for another time. 5 minutes passed and the owners returned. I gave them their dogs back and they were pretty happy, of course they paid a little bit as well. When I returned Jake to the boy, the boy asked: " Excuse me Miss, did Jake give you any trouble at all?" , I responded: "Well... A little bit. But he was still good. After all, he's a pretty good boy! Just don't let go of the leash okay?" , the boy then asked: "Wait, why are you telling me to not let go of the leash?" , I answered: "Long story short, he follows scents for a long time... That's what Bloodhounds usually do." , the boy replied: "Okay, thanks again Miss!" , "No problem at all kiddo!" As I said that I smiled, waved and said goodbye to the other owners as well.
After the job, I was happy. It was my first day for being a walkie, and I liked it. I hope that other dog owners will ask me to walk their dogs, after all, I like every breed of dog and I love to learn about their behavior and what they like and what they do not like.
When I returned home, it was already dark. It was a bit of a tiring day for me as my first day on the job of being a walkie. I ate dinner, put on my pajamas, went to bed, turned off the lights and fell asleep. As of today, I'm still a walkie, and I still love every breed of dog. But I will remember that moment when Jake found the scent on a nearby tree. The scent... was a stray dog's pee.
One day at work
I'm gonna tell you a story when I was a dog walker. I was 14 years old and I decided to be a walkie, because I loved animals, and I cared about them.
One Saturday at 9:00PM, it was my first day on the job. I was waiting at the park for any dog owners to pass by and ask me to give their dog some exercise. An owner came up to me and asked me if I could walk around the park with his Shiba Inu dog named Larry. I accepted, and he told me that he would be back at 11:00PM. I waited a little bit more for any other requests, then two boys came along and asked me to walk their dogs. One was a Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Ein and another one was a Bloodhound named Jake. When I saw Jake, I was nervous. Because when Bloodhounds catch a scent, they won't stop until they find the source of the smell of where it came from. The two also said that they were gonna be back at 11:00PM. I decided to start walking the three dogs. I knew some people had Cynophobia; a fear of dogs, so I stood away from some Cynophobes at all cost. When the clock reached 10:12PM, I was resting on a bench, at that moment, Jake caught a scent. I knew that something like this would happen, so I held onto the leash. Jake struggled to follow that scent, but I held onto the leash with all my might. In the end, I couldn't hold it anymore, so I let go of the leash. He started following the scent, I was really nervous. I ran after Jake and the other dogs followed me. But as it turns out, the scent was close! The scent was on a tree. Jake found a scent on a tree that caught his attention, I was relieved. The clock reached 10:55PM. It was just about time for me to return the dogs to their owners. Ein, Jake and Larry were pretty good, they listened to me, they followed my orders and they gave me no trouble at all! Except for Jake who gave me a little bit of trouble... Other than that, they were just running around and playing together!
I really liked them, and I hoped that I would be able to see them for another time. 5 minutes passed and the owners returned. I gave them their dogs back and they were pretty happy, of course they paid a little bit as well. When I returned Jake to the boy, the boy asked: " Excuse me Miss, did Jake give you any trouble at all?" , I responded: "Well... A little bit. But he was still good. After all, he's a pretty good boy! Just don't let go of the leash okay?" , the boy then asked: "Wait, why are you telling me to not let go of the leash?" , I answered: "Long story short, he follows scents for a long time... That's what Bloodhounds usually do." , the boy replied: "Okay, thanks again Miss!" , "No problem at all kiddo!" As I said that I smiled, waved and said goodbye to the other owners as well.

One day at work
One summer my parents refused to give me money for a trip to Greece, so I decided to find a job. I became a hairdressers' assistant.
After two weeks of watching the hairdresser working and washing combs, I finally got a chance to dye one woman's hair. It was my English teacher. I was very nervous and my hands were shaking. She wanted a black dye and I prepared everything. I was ready to start. I put everything on her hair and I wrapped her hair in a towel. After an hour I took off the towel and there was surprise. Her hair wasn't black, it was pink. When she saw it, she couldn't believe it. After the shock, we started to laugh. She dyed her hair back to black and told me that it would be better for me to study English than to be hairdresser.
In the end, my parents promised to give me money for my holiday if I get an excellent mark in English.
