Life What's the worst job you ever had? - Page 7

**Skip Towne** · 10-09-2009, 08:09 AM

Mine was hauling small square bales of hay. It is hot, often over 100 degrees in the barn. You have to wear a long sleeved shirt or your arms will get bloodied. And it is damn hard work. Bales of alfalfa can weigh up to 90 pounds. No way I could do it today.

Dammit I had put that away, with the help of some therapy....there went money down the drain.

but on a positive note, the hot women far outweigh the bad shit. We currently have a 2 conventions this week. Wyoming Public Defenders assoc, a lot of hot female attorneys and the Medical Reserve Corp with lots of cute nurses,doctors and other med professionals.

Same as Skip. Bucking Hay. The worst part for me was putting it up. I had asthma real bad and being in the barn with all that friggin pollen I could hardly breath. My breathing would get back to normal about the time we started the next day.

tech support/csr for Time Warner.

place still hurts me when I even think about. reeruns calling in everyday about their cable, or little problems with their computer. The most difficult people Ive ever had to deal with. Adults acted like little children. I literally wrote down someones address and was thinking of throwing a brick at their car or throwing a bag of shit at their door. I found a new, much better job a few weeks later so I never got around to it.

The stress, calls and headaches I got in that place, I dont even want to talk about.

Hand or head?

Working at the cash register at Hy-Vee. Hated it. And doing inventory was so boring.

I'd take detasseling 300 days a year over working Hy-Vee 100 at same pay. I kind of like detasseling.

I did the HyVee thing in college and I didn't mind it at all. The only thing that irritated me was the people on welfare wearing nicer clothes, eating better food and driving nicer cars than me. That or the people buying a million little items (one at a time) with food stamps so they could collect enough change to buy a carton of cigs with that change.

I worked at the Blue Springs Zarda when I was in high school. I actually went to school Donald Zarda.

It was an ok job, but I quit because I could not get the BBQ smell out of my clothes, my car, off my skin, etc.

I worked at the JC Penny outlet store on 75th street in OP when I was in HS. It seemed like all the dregs of humanity shopped at that place.

when I first moved to Lawrence, about 19 years old. Got a job as a telemarketer. Really good money, like $20 per hour. It didn't take me long to figure out that it was a scam though. Basically we would call up poor people and tell them that for $250 they would get a special credit card that was designed to get their credit rating up to excellent status. Easy to sell it to them and big commissions off of them. After about a month I realized they were just getting an everyday random credit card application that they would be declined for. Quit the second I realized that and a few months later they were on the local news, they got shut down by the cops. I may not always be a great person, but I can't rip people off like that.

Construction sucked, carrying 90 pound buckets of cement up 3 flights of stairs

. It wasn't even a nice building. The place stunk and the tenants looked creepy. School seemed like an easier solution for me and my back.

Pimpin.

It wasn't easy.............
