What was the worst and best job you have ever had in your life.....

[carole]

My worst by far was when I was a solo parent, working at the Camping ground around the corner from where I live, working in cold weather , in a cold environment, cleaning yucky Toilets,showers, and rooms, and having to take my son with me when he was sick, and he had to stay out in the cold, those were the day's I never wish to repeat.. but hey it helped pay the bills for a while.

My other worst job was working as a clerk for the Inland Revenue, boring job and boring people, no fun or spirit.

My best job was working as a waitress at the Brian Boru Hotel, the job was not great, but the boss and his kids were like family, infact the whole place was one big happy family, we had so much fun there, I used to live in the Hotel as well, now today this hotel has mystery murder weekends and claims to have a ghost, cannot say I ever saw it or heard it.

My other best jobs were working for Defence Headquarters as a civilian for the Air Force and Navy, fun , fun , and more fun, especially in the Air force, we had glide time, in other words you chose your hours within a certain period as to when you finished and started, I usually chose a late start and late finish, because most people had gone and it was easy to slack around. lol.

now post yours and tell us why it was bad or good.

Worst job: The last one I left. I was harrassed on a daily basis about my weight, my makeup, my hair, my clothes... you name it they harassed me about it.

Best job: Picture framer. I left that job because I wanted to become an interior designer. It was a fun job, I was very active lifting and moving, etc. It was creative and rewarding. How I regret leaving there. I still love the boss and we see each other often.

I got a part time job at a publishing house....I wanted to get some experience doing magazine layout.

I was put into a back room and asked to pick out family pictures that would go into a church directory. The pictures were taken in the studio, processed and it was up to me to pick the best ones.

The families were large and about 70% had or adopted special needs children.

As the photographer staged the pictures, one of the familiy members would reach over and hold the child's head to face towards the camera, He would snap a pic then tell the person to move their hands so their hand wouldn't show up in the shot.

The poor kid's head would wander all over the place-on the proof photos you'd see everyone looking AT the camera and that one person, usually sitting at the end, staring off in another direction.

If I was lucky, out of 10 shots, I'd get one worth printing.

To this day I wonder how many people got their directories, found their pictures and wondered why there wasn't a BETTER picture in there!

Wow, I've had some really bad jobs. But the one that comes to mind is "label inspector" at the ketchup bottling plant. This was a summer job while I was in college.

I watched ketchup bottles come off the labeling machine at 100 bottles/minute. If they were not on straight, why, I would pull them off the line before they were packed.

Duh!

Can you imagine doing that 7-1/2 hours a day for less than minimum wage? Since I didn't work full time, they didn't have to pay full wage.

Best job? Working for a public television station.

Worst: Line person at the Pacific National Exhibition.

Despite my name tag, no body (not even my boss) knew my name.. only a couple of the newbies did. Training was aweful, so I couldn't do my job without screwing up every 5 minutes. I rarely got more than 4 hours of sleep because of the hours. A NASTTTTTY, older, stinky, disgusting co-worker was determined to get me to go out with him (YUCK!). I hated every moment of it.

Best: My current job at a movie theatre.

All the managers are really nice and there's lots of room to grow within the company. My co-workers are fantastic. I'm never bored at work. They're great about rewarding good behavior, which just encourages everyone even more.

worst job:I worked at a Arbys fast food restraurant. It was horrible and so were all the people I worked with.

best job:Honestly I have to say the one I have now (server at Red Lobster). There are days of course when I can't stand it, but where else can you pretty much pick the hours you want and get great pay to boot

My worst job was working five hours in the sweltering heat, raking leaves and cutting branches and only getting 5 bucks for it.

My best was dog walking.

[slleipnir]

Desperatley searching for a job... Never had one. I'll have towait, but less than a year!

My worst job: As a security consultant when I left the Air Force. I was selling people security systems that they probably really didn't need. I lasted a week, then my integrity kicked in, and I told them to shove it.

My best job: At 33 squadron in the R.A.A.F. We flew on Boeing 707's. Did a lot of different jobs, from medi-vacs, troop transport, VIP flights (the Prime Minister etc) and even a few SAS jobs that were quite interesting, but I can't talk about. I was a steward, and handled all the in-flight catering. (Which was where I mainly got my catering training Pamela.) Try cooking 30 beef wellingtons on a VIP flight in a galley the size of asmall linen cupboard. Saw the world though so that was pretty cool.
