since things are getting so tense in the world, i thought i'd lighten up the mood for a second...
what was the worst job you ever had and why?
and i shall start, mine was a door to door sales boy for the detroit news paper, because it was cold as hell during the winter, i had a couple of dogs chase me, i actually had someone tell me no one was at home, and i believe my nose was flattened from having the door slammed in my face so many times. :p |

One summer I got a job at a factory that made TV tuners. I worked on an assembly line. The work was repetitious and tedious and the time just dragged. I hated it. My co-workers were a bunch of hillbillies and polacks and my supervisor was like a nazi in a concentration camp. The pay was about 95 cents a hour and everybody was trying to move up to inspector because this position paid $1.25 a hour. At summer's end when it was time to return to the U of I., I told em to "take this job and shove it". When I got back to school, I always tried to remind myself that jobs like this would be what lay ahead for me if I didn't complete my education. But staying up nights, playin bridge and puffing Pall Malls and partyin too much on the week-ends clouded my vision, which was why I ended up at the Post Office, getting a degree in how to earn a day's pay for a half day's work, and how to deal with Ebonic-speakin folks who were as slick as hell. |

Mine was at a nursing home working in the laundry. I was the sole worker in the laundry. I had to launder and fold sheets and clothing for 200+ people. Many of them were sullied with bodily waste, Yuck. I did this for one summer and it was my first regular job. I was eventually 'promoted' to the position of kitchen helper. Instead of laundering I had to wash dishes, set the dinning room tables, and load carts for 200+ people. This job I kept parttime during the school year and fultime in the summer. It was a 'shitty' job but kept me in funds for the time being. |

Worst job you ever had.
Having no job was the worst job I ever had. As long as I was making money and not on the WELFARE ROLLS like you Negroes are always screaming about or PIMPING or SELLING DOPE or HITTING SOME OLD LADY IN THE HEAD FOR 25 cents I held my head up and worked.
What is wrong with you Negroes? |

White folks, I apologize.
For years and years you have denied Negroes jobs and I said you were wrong and discriminating and not fair and now it turns out you were right all along.
They don't appreciate what you have done for them. They don't care that you don't have to give them a job, or that you had to turn down that fine, blond, Christian upstanding WHITE MAN to hire their unqualified black butt in to do the job.
No. They want to come here and complain about the worst job they ever had.
Let's ask somebody in Darfur what is the worst job they had. Hmmm? Genocide Victim? Does that come with health coverage?
How about Iraq? Hmmm. Suicide Bomber? How much vacation time.
Apologizing profusely,
Unca Chris |

My worst job--it was twenty years ago, and lasted for one day, doing telemarketing work selling tickets to a policemen's ball. I walked off and never returned! |

Mr Hadyen, we were asked a question to which we responded. We were not called upon to pontificate on the world's ills. Yes it is a given that one should be grateful to live in a society where we have the right to employment however 'lowly'. We are simply relaying our experiences. The societal, political and class related issues you bring up would be better addressed in another thread. Regards. |

I suppose you are now going to launch into a catalogue of your pet peeves.
In the face of Armageddon and Negroes were crying over spilt milk--a job, for which they got paid and could have walked off of and that they chide other blacks for not taking.
And thy epitaphs shall be, "Too petty to live" |

Mony, Chris is just being, well Chris.
Chris at 5,532 post you are not supposed to be at the "Cyniquian" Level. That is reserved for 10k or more. I'm not sure what happened there...
Mony I had a ton of terrible jobs. I worked assembling store displays on 2nd shift. I was bored out of my mind. The guy I worked with was happy to have the job it was easy and no one was there to bother you. I lasted one night.
I worked in a stock room of Bloomingdales. Another boring job where thief was rampant (justified by the lousy wage). The workers got high at lunch every day. I lasted two weeks.
I worked in the kitchen of a large office building the very same building of the company I work for now. The job was dishwasher I hate washing dishes, we got free breakfast and lunch though. One guy pulled a knife on another worker one day. It was over one of those Dominican / Puerto Rico beefs I never understood. Homeboy explained, "I just did a nic. I have no problem going back". I envied his resolve.
There are many other bad job experiences but the good has out weighted the bad so far.
Mony, I had a similar conversation with some friends. On guy worked in the laundry room of a hospital. He said the experience "offended all of his sensibilities" you had to hear him say it – it was hysterical. This was back in the day before all the disposable stuff – can you imagine!

Troy, I don't only imagine it, I lived it! Whoever came up with that saying 'You think your shit don't stink', doesn't now what they are talking about. |
