Best Job / Worst Job

[stfctownenda]

Recently in the pub on a Friday night me and my mates were discussing about which was our best or worst jobs we have ever done so I figured I would open this up to everyone and see what you guys have done in your careers? (Obviously we may know DV's worst job after recent threads).

My worst job was with the Recycling Centre down bottom of Blunsdon Hill it was during college and basically every day lorrys would dump loads of old paper, newspapers and magazines and we would have to put them into the correct bins for recycling.  It was often wet and disgusting, not a fun job.

It will sound cliched but my best job is my current one as I am in recruitment and enjoy working with people and seem to be doing quite good at my job.

Worst job for me was circa 1997 I was a Jewish Priest (Rabbi) in New York, I just couldn't put up with one more circumcision.

My worst job is the one that I currently have, and for so so so so many reasons.

I have had some very very good jobs in the past though, yet I am hoping for a positive reply tomorrow from an interview for a job that could/should turn out to be the best yet.

Haha my worst job was actually also at the same recycling place, I only worked there for a couple of hours though before telling them there's no way I'm doing this any more but  that job was really shit.  I had to walk around in a muddy, freezing cold field making sure there was no rubbish on the ground. Wouldn't have worked there at all if the agency had told me what the job actually was.

Worst job was cracking nuts for a whole day in costco i Bushey - bloody americans are so ruse as well, hands were red raw and then had to go back next day

Current job has some perks

Worst job: Web developer at Zone 1 Media. I've worked as a baler at ASDA and also as a multi-drop delivery driver whilst at University but working for Chris Rees was so awful it's difficult to put into a sentence that doesn't contain the words "he's a fucking shit".

Best job: Homebase, generally dossing about on the shop floor, mingling with tasty female students, cutting boards up and selling shower curtains.

  Brilliant I stuck it out for a few weeks to get some money but it was truly awful, looking back makes me so glad it was only a college job.

One of the best jobs I had, was working for IBM in Havant.

   It was one massive open plan office.....the workers were encouraged to design their own bit of work space, to put the furniture etc how they wanted it.   This was where I came in as part of a crack squad of furniture movers....we'd get a little map then, set the furniture up as required, betwen jobs we had a bit of a place in the bowels of the building where we could doss until needed by the often tasty birds who worked there.

  Sometimes we had other odd jobs to do...but generally could avoid doing anything too strenuous.  Fucking ace canteen too.

Technically speaking I have had worse jobs than my current job though:

St Ivel consisted of 8 hr's a day sticking lids on yoghurt pots...... Not much more to be said about that really.

I worked for some sort of cardboard construction company once, to be honest putting the Easter Egg display boxes together was sort of comfortably numbing but my co-workers, whom where mostly "lifers" made me want to run home, except for one nice old chap who came out of retirement because he wanted to get out of the house. Nice bloke he was, Eric his name was and I still remember that after all these years.

I have also worked in some sort of wharehouse in which my job description was to take a c.d. and insert it into a sleeve. and again, and again, and again.... I think you get my drift.
The saving grace of the job was that most of the workforce was made up of young temps like myself who couldn't give a monkeys about the job, just like myself. And we soon discovered that C.D's make good frisbeys, or more importantly surprisingly painful and accurate weapons (With practice).
