What's the worst job you've ever had?
My position is being moved to another part of the country in a few months, and I could use a little cheering up. 
I'll start things off - the worst job *I* ever had was selling framed pictures door to door to businesses. Unfortunately, that wasn't the worst part. The worst part is that my boss was the former lead singer of a somewhat popular 80's Christian heavy-metal band.

Pumping gas had its moments. Working under pressure in the elements isn't the most fun.
What part of the country are you relocating to? Be specific, as I'm not too familiar with Squornshellous Zeta. :lol:

I'm actually NOT going to relocate, thus my dilemma and subsequent depression.
I'm in California now (but my heart is in Squornshellous Zeta), and the job is moving to Texas. Not a bad place, but I like it where I am.

I don't blame you. Leave CA for Texass! I think not.
Worst job was dishwasher at a diner. I was 13. Under age but paid $6 an hour under the table. Not bad in the early 80's for a 13 YO kid.
Also worked at a pet store. Lift bags of food that weighed between 50 and 70 pounds.  Clean up birds and lizzard poop. Catch loos animals in the store. Bag crickets for food. Bosses favorite term was "If you got time to lean, you got time to clean."

Without a doubt it was working nights in a gas station convenience store...that gig ended the night I called in sick and the guy who covered for me got robbed. I left my resignation the next day.
A close second was working customer support/service for a mail order exercise equipment company. You haven't lived until you try to describe how to assemble exercise equipment over the phone to someone armed with a pair of pliers...and thats it.

Working in nursing homes as an aide to pay for school definitely had its down sides. I don�t even want to think about the number of Depends I have handled.
Actually, Texas isn't all that bad. For all it's quirkiness (sp?) it does have its saving graces. I lived there for about 6 months once and actually grew to enjoy it. Lots of good people there!
