Your worst job

[Xenophon]

Organ grinder.

Those mnonkeys can be a pain in the ass.

 

[JW Frogen]

I would say the military because it was the only job I have had where I could not drink on duty, but the emotional compensation exceeded my desire for inebriation.

Most every other job has been one big blur.

 

[Polk]

Working of a minor league baseball. Not that the work itself was that's bad (I really enjoyed some of it), but that the bastards stiffed me out of several hundred dollars worth of pay.

I detested being a reporter. I'd rather wash fucking toilets than work in a newsroom ever again.

I always thought I would make a great journalist, you can drink at work, insult people, and generally make an ass of yourself.

But then that was journalism in the long, lost golden years. (When there was no fucking spell check!)

Now, should I hope to write for a living the only place left is adverstising.

I worked one summer at a chicken farm We loaded and unloaded chickens onto trucks for slaughter, we also had to clean the cages and shovel out the shit pits. Got paid 1.60 an hour.

chicken shit produces a shit load of methane.

Why? I rather agree with Frogen that it would require a minimum of competence to stagger around finding morons to interview, and then claim their "expertise" in any given field.

Worked for a heavy equipment Co. The kind of company that manufactures that huge mining and construction equipment you see around. The job was fine...the people were...unpleasant (to say the least). Couldn't get out of that place fast enough.

Spoken like someone who's never done it. You learn about every field you write on.

BTW, I wrote about the sewage systems of small towns and gained quite a bit of expertise in that field. I found learning about sewagy systems a thousand times more gratifying than meeting my deadline every morning, and writing 7-10 stories a week.

Meh...sounds a tad challenging, but I think I could get it all done in one day/week. But, I love to write, and the weirder the better.

Do you get paid for this?

 

[Luissa]

My worst job was probably my funniest, I did grounds maintenance at a large city park with small amusement rides and many large events. I also had to clean up after homeless people who shit on the sides of walls, drinking fountains, and would leave their "homes" all over the park. I had to get garbage during a four day Pig Out and move many many benches and tables, and put up crowd fencing.
I found condoms, needles, and a lot of Steel Reserve on a daily basis but I worked with young people and there were many places to hide and smoke pot.

One summer, I had to be a male escort. Rich old ladies with no morals. It sucked.
