Mathematics sophomore doesn't like working at the Park Student Union Food Court

Wildcat: Hi, I'm Claire from the Daily Wildcat and you're on the spot.

Johnson: Sa-weet! All right, cool.

Wildcat: You know what? I'm probably having one of the top 10 bad days of my life. Describe to me the worst day of your life.

Johnson: Let's see, I work on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday at this place (PSU Food Court), and this place SUCKS! I mean, the food's OK, but being the one to make it sucks.

Wildcat: So you're telling me that the worst day of your life is every day that you have to work here? That's pretty sad.

Johnson: Well, it's only like four days a week. Well, there was last weekend where I ran out of gas on the way back from a Suns game, and I had to walk to the gas station in the rain.

Wildcat: Aww, poor baby.

Johnson: All right, bad story. This is hard. · My mind went blank when you started in on all these questions. Hey, what's the worst thing that's ever happened to you, "On the Spot" girl?

Wildcat: The worst thing that's happened to me? Oh, you don't wanna go there.

Johnson: Hey, c'mon! I'm Eric, and you're on the spot! What's the worst day of your life?

Wildcat: Probably today, because I've had to interview you.

Johnson: Ouch! Yeah, that's the worst thing that's ever happened to me. · I just got punked by the girl that does "On the Spot."
