worst job you've had and why? and best job?
Worst job i think i ever had was my one day on a Christmas tree lot. It was my first time up close with seasonal workers, who sure do come in some interesting flavors. One crusty old dude opened by asking me if i was a Christian. When i said no, he said "we'll fix that." So, good start.
I have never been athletic, so picking up and hauling around trees was not an ideal gig. But I'd recently gotten into the world of drugs, so i had to get some walkin around money some how. My day on the job ended maybe 90 minutes into arriving, when i dropped a Christmas tree into a thigh high pile of other trees. It bounced, and the trunk thumped me in the stones.
I didn't throw up, but i couldn't really walk either, much less carry more trees. The guy in charge refused to pay me, and i was happy to leave anyway.
Best job is the one i have right now. I'm the tech librarian for a library in a small town. its a right wing shithole post industrial town, but the people who use the library are pretty cool.
