it could be worse
Really Bad Jobs
What's the worst job you've ever had?

my bosses at Jerry's Subs
Mine was Jerry's at the mall. The bosses were two thirty-something dudes with long hair and 70's style mustaches who would steal our Marlboros and ask us if we liked to do it doggy-style (we were 15). They made this one wide-eyed innocent girl repeat all the words to the 98 Rock twisted tune 'Dead Puppies Aren't Much Fun' and she almost cried. Fun!

I worked 12 hour shifts for three weeks a production plant. We produced large rolls of peforated plastic film sleeves*. Some had logos, which meant we have do use templates & ink! Horrible. I eventually walked off the job.
*in case you need clarification: these were plastic pocket-like things that the strip of negatives were put into after film was developed
oh yeah once I trained to be one of those people who call you from arbitron to try to get you to participate in radio ratings. It was the worst thing I ever did and I quit after the first day. Luckily the training was a week long and I got paid $13 an hour for it. It was so bad! You didn't even dial, you just sat there and it dialed for you, then you tried to talk some poor shmoe into doing something they never heard of, some of them didnt speak english, and once they hung up two seconds later someone else was on, and you had to clock out even to use the bathroom, and there was a whole wall of prizes you could win if you had the most successfull calls that day, like they would put the top 10 sellers names in a bucket and do a drawing, and the winner got to pick a prize from the wall, like blenders and luggage.
It was soooo twighlight zone!
What's bad about that? Calling people sounds fun, and you don't even have to dial and you win prizes. I remember bein given piles of thousands of invoices, each with an 8-digit number, all in random order, and having to put them in number order. It takes days.
I was a fry cook at Ruby Tuesday. It sucked ass. Got grease burns every shift.
I was a Subway sandwhich artist. Nuff said.
Oh yeah, I also worked the grill at the Steak-on-a-Stake booth at the Renaissance Fest. 5 big grills stuffed into a small particle board shack w/no ventilation on a 95 degree day with no wind.
one summer i worked in a warehouse and we were relabeling and reboxing a bunch of things. so tedious! but, the worst was when we had to do air fresheners. SO STINKY! and the lady made us listen to crap lite rock shit. oh good lord, the mental damage that was done that summer...
...therefore we should all look at our current jobs and rejoice!! Huzzah!
If I had to declare a winner, I think it would be V and his Steak-on-a-Steak job! Second place goes to Noam, that sounds heinous. At least you had air conditioning though! I'm sorry Mo didn't comment on this post... I think he said he once dressed up as a cartoon character at a hot dog stand or something!
HAHA I was at Jerry subs with ya- is that really their pics? It looks like how I remember them too, where did you get them! I remember getting hungry, sneaking a fry and wrapping cheese around it -throwing it on the grill - and then popping it in my mouth, when no one was looking! Or going into the fridge to get more mayo, and poppin some meat or cheese. Thats what I mainly remember about the job, the food I stole by consmption! But thank you for reminding me about our scary bosses!

Totally Mels,
No thats not really them, just two of the closest pictures I could find to what they actually looked like. Pretty close, huh, considering its been like almost 15 years! Giant steak fries on the grill with melted sliced cheese on top were the BOMB! They would yell at us if they caught us doing it though, remember? Its one frickin fry! Chill out! Also, I feel bad for liking it when they almost made that girl cry. But, she was 'Heidi of the Alps' or something! Too sweet, too blond, too wide-set blue eyed...so it was kind of pleasurable in a sick way, because she was so 'together' and we were so 'broken'. Oh well, we were 15! thats how girls are then... I almost forgot you worked there with me!
