The topic says it all.


I think the best job I had was at McDonalds haha. My McDonalds had so many people there (like 50+ staff) and everyone was about the same age. I made a ton of friends (most of them I still talk too. My two best friends I met there and I hang out with them at least once a week) and most importantly... that place was stocked with cute girls. I was also pretty populare there. For a while I was the only Yarr (in place of my real name haha) there. Then some other people with my name started and everyone started calling them "Fake Yarr 1 and Fake Yarr 2" lol. Even the managers would joke around about it. I even worked up front with all the girls (I was the only guy allowed to work up front on account of my irresistible charm and charisma.

Ive only had three jobs and I love\loved all of them.

Barf!

I love my camp job. 8 years going strong. 'Nuff said.

best job was at a medical lab where i searched like a detective for missing samples (blood, etc.) and made $13/hr

worst job was at a mortgage company where i took a folder from a box, organized the papers, got lots of paper cuts, then scanned each paper into a computer, over and over and over. worst part was i had to dress nicely, and everyone there was a coffee zombie, and i had a lot of homework and this job was a long drive and just a waste of time, and the other guy in the room was a fatty who only talked about christianity, football, country music, and hamburgers, and i had to shave everyday, and they were mad i didn't tuck my shirt in so i had to start fucking tucking my shirt. it was retarTed.

I've only had one job and it's at the pizza shop at the mall. It sucks, but I'm not gonna whine to everyone about all of it except that it sucks in general.

The point isnt to come here and complain. Its to make people laugh with a stupid story (like whisp did) or to tell everyone how much you like\liked your job.

I do customer service so I have a lot of good stories about crazy people.

This is why you get ban. Youre stupid and I have a hard time putting up with it. Youre a really nice guy, but I some times wonder if maybe some sort of blind monkey with down syndrom is smashing the keypad to give us what we know as Dmitry.

That post does nothing to this thread, it actually takes away from it. I would go so far as saying that a post like that makes people want to avoid posting in this thread.

You were ban for two weeks and clearly you learnt nothing.

Best job: I worked two weeks out of the summer to teach underprivilaged young children how to play violin. I also helped play along with their camp orchestra. Besides the high wage, I enjoyed putting my musical talent to use the best. Basically any musical job that I've had has been great, from playing for parties to playing for weddings--it can land alot of money as well.


Worst job: The first and worst job I ever landed was at a drink-stirrer factory (swizzle sticks) the summer between my junior and senior year in high school. I was the designated swizzle-stick counter and got pretty damn efficient at counting to ten and to fifteen by threes--the only good thing to come out of the job. The worst part of the job was that it was a meticulous factory job in a place that reaked of burning plastic and at a time when the boss would only pay me 7.30/hour--this is really low for a factory job in my town.

edit: Yarr, I apologize if I was the reason for your shutting down of the previous "post your job" thread.

Best Job is the one I currently have... it's about a 20-30min drive from my house (w/o traffic) which isn't too bad.. and actually kinda refreshing as it allows me to get into and out of the proper frame of mind when arriving to and leaving from work. I get to wear what I want, I make a decent salary, get good benefits, and I don't have to deal with people at all really. I sit in my cubicle unbothered, my work arrives via e-mail otehrwise I'm sitting on aim or surfing sites trying to kill time (most likely the same shit I'd be doing if I was home.. cept i get paid for it). The only bad thing about this job is my boss, but that's a whole 'nother thread.

Worst Job was probably home depot. They gave me no training (although they promised they wouldn't put me on the floor w/o proper training) and stuck me in ceramic tile which I have no fucking clue about irl. I was like the only fucking dude on the floor i think, fuck ceramic tile questions (which were horrible) I was getting bombarded from customers in other sections.. anyway I don't even think I stayed a full shift lol (I know it's boring) but try walking into a crowded area wearing a big orange apron and lifting belt and being bombarded with condescending contractors and annoying soccer moms neitehr of which have any clue about anything and expect you to solve their problems when you've had no training or experience with the store.

I just recently started a job at a wine, coffee, and cheese shop in my neighborhood. To get some perspective on this sort of place, in Pittsboro, North Carolina, this neighborhood is a community of a bunch of elderly or retired people. The job itself is pretty nice. Not too stressful, just serving the occasional coffee drinks or grilling prepared sandwichs. Really its a pretty boring job, but just the other day I learned about a particular type of credit card which I hadn't heard of before. An elderly woman with black-gloved hands had come up to order a "dry double-shot cappucino," and despite her unusual appearance and drink I wouldn't have thought alot about it, but she paid with American Express Black. Before this day I hadn't heard about it, but apparently, as my co-worker was telling me, its the one card that can never be declined since it has a million dollar credit limit.

I didn't actually explain about my job. I've been working with summer camps for 8 years in various job descriptions. I worked at a camp called SAC (yeah, get your laughs in now everyone lol) for kids ages 5-10, then I worked with ages 11-14 in a leadership training camp and the past couple of years have been spent coordinating and supervising 2 leadership training camps for kids ages 11-14 and 14-17. It's pretty cool. A lot of funny stuff happens at camp. When I was working with the younger crowd, a 5 year old boy came up to me and said "Sunshine, the fromage man came to my house today!". I had no idea what he was talking about because "fromage" means "cheese" in French. I certainly didn't know of a "cheese man" in the neighbourhood, but it turns out he meant the "Garbage Man". He had to get my attention to tell me this story, so he put his hands up on my chest and tapped me to get my attention. Weirdest thing ever. YIKES. lol

I love my job, hence why I have been doing it for 8 summers. It basically got me into teachers' college. AWESOME-O!

the best job I've ever had was working for a landscaping company where I got to drive a company truck around town (I was only 18 or 19 at the time) and do physical labor. some of you may say "physical labor sucks!" but I enjoyed putting my muscles to work, and working outdoors means no boss looking over your shoulder. eventually I recruited some of my friends and when we would bust our asses to get done with our work early, then go hang out at my house for like 3-4 hours, while on the clock of course. I got paid around $11/hour plus some bonuses, so it was pretty good.

the worst job I've ever had, rofl, is actually Whisp's best job ever. I worked at his medical lab for 3 days (after a lengthy interview process). Basically my job was to tack baskets of medical samples, stuff like diseased urine, blood, toenails, etc., and label the test tubes with specific labels. The hours were like 7pm-4am, and I simply hated it, lol.

My best job so far was translating English Training DS for Nintendo of Europe...and testing games there....I miss that place!

Best Job: The job I have now, I'm currently doing music production on the side to net some $$$ while making my own album. Everyday is a new learning experience and I meet a lot of different interesting people and hear the best and the worst of music. Plus, I'm my own boss ;p

Worst Job: I worked a warehouse job one summer for like 2 days when I was 18, I went and clocked in with like no training and because it had hundreds of people I got lost in the crowd. No one ever came to me and said "Hey, help me with this!" or "I'll train ya." So instead I found these guys and helped them wrap like 4 crates and as soon as they were done they all left so I was left alone. So I found a broom and for like 2 days straight I walked the aisles with it and just sort of talked to people because no one even came and busted me. This sounds cool but it made the day drag on forever and the hours were painfully long. Plus this same warehouse had no air conditioning which also blew. I probably could have clocked in and left that place and came back and clocked out for at least two weeks before any eyebrows were raised, but then again being like one of the only white kids in that place they may have wondered where their cracker went. So instead on the third day I gave them my "I quit" letter early in the morning before the warehouse manager even got there I just walked in his office and left it on his desk. It blew, it was decent money but the money wasn't worth it.

Did you take a picture of her credit card??

one of my best friends has a job with American Express. Apparently on the top teir cards there is a number on the back that the card holder can call to get whatever they want. They can call the number and ask to have Big Leauge Chew sent to their door. Seriously as long as the request is within reason they have to do it. The cards are only the top level that black card is one of em. She said that one of the cards costs a cupple hundred grand as the yearly annual fee.

She has some seriously awesome stories.

Best job wasn't technically a job but work experience for a week in a hospital arranged by my aunt who is a ward sister. she used her clout to make it an actually interesting week, with me visiting different deparments all over, shadowing the pro's and being in their consultations with patients. plus the doctor i was "attatched" to was h o t.

worst job was working as a "car park attendant", the title i always put on job apps but really i was a trolley boy. paid piss poor wages to push aluminium alloy cages with wonky wheels and magnetic locks on that activated randomly around a car park with a rough surface (high friction) and littered with potholes and fuck me this was a long sentence, almost as long as the 10 months i worked there before giving it in to focus on the exams i failed eventually but would have meant studying the job you might have guessed i wanted to do from the first sentence. --------(lick that grammar nazis)

but the job did have its plus points, after a few months i was able to push maybe 40 trolleys around, just to show off to the girls working there. HOwever..we werent given any kind of rope to tie them together and there were no brakes, so the only way to stop them was to turn in a really tight circle or go straight into a wall/car.

it was the car that made the funny story, turning to avoid a stupid retarded mexican looking child that was totally oblivious to me and my train of metal carnage...i ended up losing control and driving straight into the side of this blondes car, lifted it up off its wheels and then fell over with the rebound. the best bit is the store manager was on his way home out the door and saw it, and just exploded laughing at me, along with everyone in the staff room who saw it. he came and picked me up and said not to worry, she didn't seem to have noticed (wtf, the car went about half a foot off the floor lol, must have thought it was a pot hole or some shit) Anyway, she eventually discovered the big trolley shaped dent in her rear passenger door and returned about an hour later steaming like a kettle. But the night manager wouldn't even listen to her because she hadn't reported it straight away haha, even though everyone knew what had happened.


few other things, like intentionally ramming a taxi who cut in front of me, scratching someones car who nearly ran me over, knocking the bumber loose on some woman who had the gall to glare at me after HER child ran out in front of me and nearly was crushed between me and a van lol. she blamed me not only for nearly killing her child but subsequently swerving and nearly knocking her over. the girl was was probably only five years old too, great parenting there.

Oh and potholes, i complained about them one day after twisting my ankle slightly one day, was told just to look where I was going...the next friday when it was busy, an old woman tripped in one and dislocated her hip...sued the store for £5k lol. they soon filled them in after that.


fuck me this turned into a long post, i don't really know if i enjoyed working for Tesco's or not, the job itself was boring as selling tickets to watch paint dry - but there were lots of little moments of fun and I made a few friends so it's not all that bad I guess.

I like Caduceus the best because he works in a resturant and is taking pictures of ppls credit cards:p j/k thats funny though and the black amex cards are sweet. Im not sure on the limit but i know you need to spend 100,000+ in credit a year to get those.
anyway i work in a bar/resturant by my house. its fun but sometimes the hours are long, its tough to complain but what can i say when my job is to get ppl wasted all day and then tipped for it.

The owner of the resturant was getting drunk on day as he so often does, and told the other bartender i work with, the reason why he could drink so much and still be ok was because he went to the doctor the other day and the doctor told my boss he has two livers.....he was convinced he did and got really pissed when we laughed at him. i thought that was funny and some of the bullshit i have to put with

lol, come on guys, google image search.

Best Job:
Mom. I love being a mom, I gave up a potential career in Starbucks head office HR department to be home with my two children. I learn so much everyday from them, nothing compares to parenthood. When they are both in school I will probably retrace my steps up the corporate ladder, but right now is the most special time with my kids, and it's not something I will get to have back, so I'm not willing to sacrafice it for a fancy title and paycheque.

Worst Job:
Tim Horton's. Holy crap what a fucked up company to work for...maybe it's just the one I worked for, but man, human rights should be respected. It is really not acceptable to make teenage kids work 8 hour shifts without breaks. It also sucked because our manager would make us work graveyard shifts on school nights and junk too, he was a bastard. I only lasted there three months haha.

Best Job: The job I have right now. Work as a valet in a ritsy neighborhood. Drive $300,000 cars and get paid $30/hr in tips, flexible hours, get to flirt with some of the hottest girls I've ever seen. Work with great guys, run all the time, time flies. It's my favorite job dispite dealing with some of the most arrogant retards on the planet who can't even drive around a goddamn parking cone. They'll drag it out to the street and get out and yell at me as if it's my fault their Hummer H2 is hard to drive around a small ass parking lot. DUURRRRRRRRR

My second job ever in high school at a Kites and Games store is a close 2nd. I got paid (poorly, $6/hr) but to juggle, play with diablo's, cigar boxes, play Warhammer with the kids that came in and just impress people. It was a toy store and the store itself was a small chain in Minneapolis and very easy to upkeep. So I would literally just stand outside the door in the mall and practice juggling tricks. I also got to steal all the frisbee golf discs I wanted and Warhammer stuff, which I sold afterwards for a huge profit.

Worst Job: Gamestop. nuff said..
