Best job I had was my old job, apart from a few sexual harrassment episodes.  I used to get on really well with everyone, used to be able to get away with going on the forum all day long.  It wasn't really going to work it was like going to play school.  Now I have to work and I hate people I work with  Crying

Seriously, my favourite job was trolley collecting at Sainsbury's. Fresh air, only 15 hours a week while i was at college... life was easy then!

My favourite job was also part-time at Sainsburys whilst I was at college, mainly for the pure abundance of 16/17 year old fitties that also worked there Tongue

Swindon Town programme editor. True, it involved taking abuse from Andy King and not getting paid on time, but it was awesome going to the training ground, getting to know some of the players and playing head tennis with them in the old gym underneath the north stand. Great days.

A number of reasons really. It was the most fun I've ever had at work. True, the pay wasn;t great and when busy the hours were very long, but to get the opportunity to chat to new players while dropping them off at the hotel, play head tennis with kingy and stuff, it was awesome at times. If you'd told me I'd be mates with some of the players (not current ones) when I was growing upo I would have laughed you out of town.

But...

Like everyone else, you have to look after no. 1, and the main reason was financial security. I had moved in to a house (that we couldn;t really afford anyway) with mates and couldn't afford not to get paid on time - even though it only happened once or twice, the continual uncertainty wasn't very nice. Then there was also no real room for moving up the ladder, I was prog editor and there was no ladder to climb, unless you become a mike sullivan, or chief exec (I'd love to be chief exec!), plus I knew I was never going to earn mega bucks there (not that I do now, but you know what I mean). Then there was being in league one - it was getting a tad repetitive writing about the likes of Tranmere and Rotherham every season. And the job I moved on to was man united  - interviewing Ruud van nistelrooy and co. appealed to me more than andy gurney- players who genuinely had a story to tell rather than players who thought they did.

Still, as I say, will remember it with fond memories.

But I much prefer going to games now without the involvement of working there - it can be hard being a fan and knowing what's going on behind the scenes. I'm glad to be out of that.

Working in the kitchens at the WI place in my home village. Sounds a bit shit, but i was working part time with a load of mates and it was always a laugh. The only time i've ever gotten on with a boss as well. I was gutted when i had to leave and get a proper job Sad
