What's the worse job you ever had?

[sarettah]

I pretty much never worked a miserable job... Worked for some miserable people who could turn a good thing to shit pretty easy.....

Prior to 10 or 11 years old, I raked leaves off of lawns for a dime a lawn..lol... Back when 10 cents was real money...

Started at 11 with a paper route, eventually built it up and took over a couple of other routes....

At 14 started doing busboy work for caterers....I looked 16..lol... It was all run by the waiters union and I only ever worked for Jewish and Italian companies... Both paid well... Learned the ins and outs of "real" business...."Boys, if you steal a bottle of wine, you have to steal 2...put one in the trunk of my car"...quote, Jimmy, the head waiter.......

Then started lifeguarding, first at a private ppol, then down at Jones Beach... Paid real nice..... Although "Qualude summer...1972" was a bitch and a half.......

In college worked for a "School for exceptional children" run by a Nun... Meanest lady I have ever met.....

Navy for 8 years....... Worst job there was cleaning out the incinerator....

Since then, I have been doing computer stuff....

8 years in the liquor biz for an Italian company......

a couple of years doing "Medical Claims processing" software for a company that eventually got sued by the state of Kansas and ended up paying the largest civil settlement in the history of the state... I was the only actual employee who had been hired from an ad... Every one else was a friend/cronie of the owners.....

Then a few years doing Cad/Cam stuff for a clothing company run by a lady who had the worst case of up and down syndrome I ever saw......

Then direct mail databases for 8 years or so.... boring stuff, but the ramp up to Y2K got me up in to a salary range I could live with....

Then my dream job....with a hosting company and that was wonderful !!! Until Crescent got taken down... between that and the dot com crash of 2000, ended up with the company cutting in half in 2001....

So, now it's back into direct marketing databases...........

But I do have an interview this week... Low end of the base salary on it is about 10k more than I make right now.... high end is 35k more than I make right now....... and my experience has always been that if I get the interview, I can usually get the job... I do a mean interview...
