After our main-stage storytellers at “Take This Job And Shove It”, five audience members took the stage with their own five-minute tales of crappy work.
The winner, Dave Rodgers, took the “crappy” theme literally. In an interesting twist, the next slam storyteller, Cindy Teixeira, revealed that she shared a similar experience in the bowels of the city’s plumbing.
