Scottish Mag 3 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 With all the talk of resignations and people starting new jobs I imagine that a fair few of us on here have had a number of jobs. I have actually been quite fortunate where I have actually found most of my jobs ok. Even when I was a postie I didn't mind the early mornings but the rain could be a right bitch especially up here. Whats your worst? Has anyone had a really soul destroying one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Geordie 1 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Probably washing my dads card back in the day. A fiver at the time seemed a lot but looking back really wasn't worth the money! Other than that I've been pretty happy with what I've done for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I worked on a cooked chicken counter when I was 16. Serving customers and cleaning the hotplate was a fucking nightmare. Was thinking of jacking it but for some strange reason everyone hated doing the dishes so I volunteered myself and ended up just hiding in the back with the radio on for the next 2 years. Much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish Mag 3 Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 When I done the Princes Trust whilst I was employed with Royal Mail I had to do work experience (which was a it fucking stupid sending me to some stupid job when I actually had one). I went to work in an Artists gallery/workshop where they tried to get me to spend a day picking masking tape off of wooden boards. Spent the morning listening to the radio then went for lunch and never went back. Fuck that I wasn't being there biatch for a week.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I worked in the cold storage rooms for Iceland once. In winter you'd go to work in the dark and the cold, work in a warehouse with no windows that was kept between minus 18 and minus 25 all day, then go home in the dark & cold. It was constantly understaffed, so you had to work extra hours and to make matters worse it was in Middlesbrough. I was fucking suicidal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
