“I got fired because I couldn’t make a thousand tubes of glue an hour. I guess I couldn’t handle a fast paste working environment”

A “fast paced working environment” shouldn’t be written as “fast paste working environment,” but there are jokes. “Fast paste environment” was printed in a classified ad in the Fort Lauderdale (FL) News on April 9, 1980.
 
“I’d quite like a job at the superglue factory - I’ve always wanted to work in a fast paste environment” was posted on X/Twitter by Joe Brown on September 7, 2016. “got fired from the glue factory today. they said i wasn’t cut out for a fast paste work environment” was posted on X/Twitter by trash jones on November 8, 2021. “Got sacked because I couldn’t make 1000 tubes of glue an hour.  I wasn’t ready for a fast paste working environment” was posted on X/Twitter by Puns AndOneliners on November 19, 2021. “Got fired because I couldn’t make a thousand tubes of glue an hour. Guess I couldn’t handle a fast paste working environment” was posted on X/Twitter by Ultimate Dad Jokes ‘N So Much Pun on February 17, 2024.

To: Whom it may concern:
 
My background and experience closely parallel the requirements your company demands in the customer service division of your organization. I am sincerely interested in joining the customer service team with your company. I offer a wealth of knowledge and experience in dealing with people and providing information over the phone.

My knowledge includes various computer applications using the personal computer, mainframe, and Novell Workstations. My strong communication skills and the ability to work well with others in addition to being able to work independently are qualities, I am sure, that are essential to any company or organization. My communication skills include good spelling and grammar skills (oral and written) and the ability to work in a fast paste environment.

One person I’m interviewing worked for 2 weeks in a “fast paste environment”
I’ve had ginger, garlic and curry paste, never fast paste.
