As it turns out, Jennifer Aniston's stint as a terrible, unhappy waitress in the cult classic "Office Space" was pretty authentic.
"I waited a lot of tables, and I wasn't very good at that," she reveals in the July issue of Marie Claire. "I dropped more than one Alpine burger in customers' laps, and you just do not want all of that Swiss cheese and mushrooms in your pants."
Aniston, 42, said she spent her first paycheck on a vintage Mercedes before ditching New York and moving to Los Angeles to seriously pursue her acting career.
"I started getting pilots and working pretty regularly," she recalled. "I still didn't make any decent money until I got on 'Friends.' "
Charlie Day, the object of Aniston's affection in the upcoming film "Horrible Bosses," had a similarly humbling beginning.
He told the magazine his first job was "as a janitor for a health club in Rhode Island."
"Arnold Schwarzenegger worked out there while he was filming 'True Lies,' " the 35-year-old revealed. "So the owner had these giant posters of him all over the gym, which I'd have to clean. I essentially polished his abs for a living."
Aniston and Day's co-star, Jason Bateman, denied ever having a horrible boss like he does in their movie – mostly because he usually doesn't "even know who" his boss is.
"When you're making a movie, you don't always have the same boss when you finish as you did when you started," he explained. "Studio heads, directors – they're shifting around all the time, fired and hired."
"And at the end of every project, as an actor, you're effectively fired," the actor, 42, continued. "So you're out there looking for work again like everybody else."
It seems likely, though, that Bateman's search will lead him back to Aniston. This is the third flick they've worked together on after "The Break-Up" and "The Switch." Guess it wasn't too "horrible"!
