Mind you, I never cared all that much about the environment. I was looking for a job last summer, and I came accross an ad in the paper for summer work at the Sierra Club. I could make up to $2000-3000 over the summer, and the place was reasonably close to where I lived.
Sounds ideal, right?
Wrong.
I was fired after two weeks. Here's why:
I was having a bad week. The Sierra Club is a lobbying organization where its workers go door to door collecting money to save the trees. I never cared about the trees. All I cared about was money. I guess that's why I wasn't too convincing when I would go from house to house, and give the same speech over and over with that same expressionless stare a cow has.
Each worker had to average $120 per day. I wasn't even close. But I wasn't fired for not making enough money.
On one of the few days where it wasn't pouring rain on me, I was doing my route with some confidence. It was a nice summer day, people were in good moods, and I was actually making some money. Then, it happened.
A redneck pulled up next to me while I was walking along my merry way.
He had a stupid red pickup truck, a stupid baseball cap, and a stupid look on his face. He was redneck all the way. I hate trashy people who think they're somehow more imposing behind the wheel of a car. I disliked him immediately when I saw him. He started yelling all this shit at me about how I shouldn't be bothering people with all this environmental bullshit, how I was just a worthless tree-hugging hippy, and all this other crap.
I hadn't buried my fist in anybody's face for years. The last time I fought somebody, I broke his jaw. Then his friends found me later, surrounded me, and kicked my head in. So naturally, I wasn't going to just beat him up. It could possibly lead to bad things. I avoided any confrontation with him, and I went to the next house. I figured the fucker would just drive off, but no. Instead, he continues yelling at me while I'm trying to get another donation. Now, I'm pissed.
After the lady I spoke to got freaked out from the worthless redneck stalker, and slammed the door in my face, I walked down her porch, over to the driver's side of that stupid pickup, opened the door, and dragged the bastard out of his car.
If I wasn't so pissed, I would have laughed myself silly at how this guy tried to punch me. I'm not joking when I say that he hit me like a girl. You know, when they clench their fists, and hit you with the bottom part of the hand instead of with their knuckles. He hit like that. I grabbed the pussy by the throat, and proceeded to pound his head into the side of his car. After denting his car and his head, I then began to punch him anywhere I could.
I hit him everywhere: the eyes, the jaw, the sternum, the balls. Every open area he had, I attacked. I must have whaled on him for a good three minutes. Then, I walked over to my things, picked them up, walked back to my car and drove away.
Apparently, the lady who got freaked out called the cops when she saw me fighting this guy. So, unfortunately, I didn't get away with it. She told the cops who I worked for, and the Sierra Club was contacted. Since my co-workers liked me, they convinced the police to not pull me in on any charges, but that they would take action against what happened. When I came back, I was told not to come back the next day. Or the day after that. Or ever, for that matter.
I was fired.
But damn, it certainly was worth it.

A HUGE negative two for taking a job from the Sierra Club. Have a little pride in what you do, fucker. Research the company you're gonna be working for and find out what they are about before working to help them achieve their cause. Don't take a job just because it puts some measily cash in your pocket.
