SoFlaJets Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I'll start; When I graduated HS I was a sanitation engineer (garbage man) in my NJ hometown. I have also been a telemarketer...a cab driver and an insulation man-climbing in attics in the middle of the Florida summer. The other day my friend Anthony called because he wants me to work for 3 weeks picking up Port-o-potties on construction work-sites for 500 bucks for 3 days work a week."it only smells after the first pick-up, after that you can't smell a thing" talk about a **** job-I'm gonna pass on that business opportunity-anybody interested?

No, not interested! Assuming an 8 hour workday, that's $20/hr. Screw that. You won't smell anything after the first pick-up because your nostrils are destroyed.

MrsTaborJet Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 My senior year in HS I worked at a local bakery to make extra cash for prom and after-prom Jersey shore festivities. I kept the job for about a year after that... had to face daily comments and looks from the bakers in the back shop, worked the 4AM - Noon shift which sucked, been accused of stealing money from the registers when I was only stealing jelly donuts like every friggin day and gained a ton of weight. The owners were always eyeing up the girls too when their wives weren't around. PIGS!!! To this day I HATE bakeries, never go in them and cannot stand the smell of buttercream icing.

When we moved down here in 86-87 I got a job with the city of Boynton Beach-they had me in the cemetary (talk about a depressing work place) and then I would be cutting the grass in the middle divider of Dixie Highway from Delray to Lantana...it was $6.62 an hour and all the aggravation you could stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidhuman Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I never had any really crappy jobs. All have been easy or fun. Sometimes my current job pi55es me off beyond belief, but it is far from sh!tty. Best job I ever had was working in a baseball/comic shop from 13-17. Most Fun job I had - Worked as an office manager for a Monk. He was neevr there, so I answered 4 phone calls a day. Called my friends over to hang out and smoke pot and drink all day. Cant beleive I got paid for that one. Most interesting - Loss Prevention for major retail chains. Catching Shoplifters was a fun job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebabyny Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 My job while in high school. I went to a prep school so most of the kids there didn't understand the concept of work. I sold tshirts in chinatown off canal street, at the time it was 3 for $10. I would take the ferry into the city at 4pm after school, work from 5 to 12am, then change clothes and meet friends at paladium, get home at 5am, sleep for 4 hours, then get up on saturday and go back to the city to work from 10am until 12am, meet the friends at limelight, then get 5 hours sleep and work from 10am until 8pm on sunday and go home and collapse. The good thing was that I never took any kind of drugs, and in highschool I never ever had a drink, so I was able to get by on 4-5 hours sleep on the weekend nights. I would work 30 hours a weekend at like 5 bucks an hour. I did this year round, and it totally sucked in the summer and winter. It sure humbled me and made me appreciate the first real corporate job I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHJF Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I worked at a box factory one summer in high school. They made those little cardboard boxes that hold cheap Avon costume jewelry. My job was to stack the little Avon boxes into big corrugated carboard boxes, then seal the big boxes for shipment. The job sucked, but I got my first ever BJ in the factory parking lot during lunch one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alk Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I worked at Jiffy Lube for about 3 weeks. I had just moved to Lawrence and needed a job. The shop I applied at had already filled the spot. I had to spend a week in KC training to change oil. Something that I did for 3 years prior. During training they went around the room asking what everyone had planned for their future. A bunch of greasy douchebags talking about college when there was no chance of that ever happening. They came to me and I told them that I was just here because I needed a job. The head guy called me into his office afterwards and ripped me a new one saying he doesn't want anyone without any life goals and that he should kick me out. He never did and I passed the class with flying colors. During that week I was instructed to cut my hair. Regulations stated that hair had to be above the collar. So I had it cut above the collar. I showed up for my first day of work and the manager told me I needed to cut my hair. I explained that I had just had it cut and that it was above my collar. He didn't say much about it after that. Working there was hell. We started at 7:30 in the morning and if we were lucky we would get out of there at 7:30 at night. They encouraged us not to take a lunch break but if it was slow enough we could take a 20 minute break. After the three years of changing oil and week training they had me vacuuming freaking cars. I never did graduate to working under the car. A couple weeks later the place I originally applied at called and offered the job. I went to put my two weeks notice in and the manager told me I could quit that day since I obviously didn't want to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetheelz Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I used to work for an insulation company in Raleigh. I was good friends with the owner's son..he got me the job and at first I thought it was going to be cool but I quickly found out it would be the total opposite. I worked from 6:30am to 4:30 pm Mon-Thursday. Never knew what was going to be on the slate when I got there..either it was work in that 115 degree warehouse or driving the truck with orders on it all day (which I preferred). On days where we got trucks full of stuff it really sucked. It took about 4 hours to get all the stuff unloaded and placed in the warehouse. Usually they had 2 trucks waiting for us every Monday. The supervisor over us was a cool guy but he didn't really go out of his way to hurt himself when it came to work. I would go inside the office (that had the wonderful A/C) to ask him something and he would be sitting at the desk looking at stuff on the internet while eating. The only good part of the job was that I scored the tickets to the Jets/Eagles game in Philly that year. Other than that the job sucked ass.
