List some of the most suckiest jobs you've ever had.

OK, here's mine.

1. School Bus Driver: From special ed to gang banger heaven in San Diego and Chula Vista. A big motivator to finish school.
2. Oil Package Delivery Driver: The Las Vegas to Bullhead City to Havasu run with no A/C in the truck in the summer.
3. Painter: Painting the outside of the Hotel Del Coronado white all day long on stacked scaffolding way off the ground for only $5/hr. (1985). Even the Mexicans with fake green cards were making more than me. Not a very good deal. :D

Hod carrier for stone masons. Basically the job was lifting materials and objects from 20-100+ pounds all day everyday for a whopping 8 dollars and hour. This is a job that will make a man out of you a tired man.

Checker at Toys R Us during Christmas time

Shoe sales, Bundy style. That lasted a week.

Fast food restaurant worker. Paid for my gas in High school, ruined my reputation though.

Home Depot, lot associate. Grueling work, for less than $8 and hour. Although the workout everyday while getting paid was a nice bonus.

Warehousing, for sears in Sparks. Good job, cush hours for a college student, could study at work when everything was done, the pay sucked.

Come to think of it that is every job I had prior to getting a paid internship my junior year in college.

My brother-in-law and his family ran an excavation company and they were 2 weeks behind in carson putting in 2 miles of new sewer line (existing line was bad) if they hit the job on time they would get some sort of bonus on their pay. Not sure what it was but they hired an extra 10 of us for a week to work from 5 AM until the sun went down. I made $35 an hour and got a $250 bonus (although I took vacation from work to help out) to be covered in dirt and shit and piss for 15 hours a day in July. I lost 12 pounds that week.

It was the worst job in the world.

[Stuck in Seattle]

Dog Kennel worker. Cleaning cages and feeding the animals. Ugh.

Fry cook at the Jolly Kone in Hawthorne.

Laborer for refractory brick work. Hand mix mortar and carry loads of up to 100lb all day while working on big furnaces in factories where the temp could be 120 degrees. Actually it was a good job as I was 18 and making almost $10hr in 1977. Lunch was usually a burger and 2 beers for me. A burger, 2 shots and 3 beers for the bricklayers. Those union guys were tough.

[Blueblood]

Demo and construction clean up work in the ass heat of Florida/Georgia. Although I must admit, the pay sucked, the weather sucked and it seemed like I got injured every day of the week, but it was worth it when I got to knock shit down. Plus the chicks dig a guy with a sledgehammer. ;)

In the town I live in each Labor day weekend we have a race horse meet. During high school I got the job of collecting the urine samples for the winners of each race. Bad enough but when add in the way race horses act it was real bad.

[renocarson]

Bagging fertilizer (67 lb)bags for $2 an hour sometimes 15 hours a day.

WOLFIN---what island did you life on and when. Was stationed in the Marshall Islands 1992-94

[wolf_chatter]

bucking bales! We did that shit as a way to get in great shape for football. You want to be fit? Buck 125lb (the big ones) bales of hay all day 7 days a week for 2 weeks 10 hours a day! We got paid hourly and a bonus if we finished on time. Wasn't much but in highschool it was good money. I think we made $8 an hour and the bonus was like $100. All under the table and no OT but $80 a day and the bonus we would walk with $1220 bucks! That was serious cash for a 14 year old!


What I hated was foaling season... :( nothing worse than being shoulder deep in a horse trying to get a foal turned around.

Sounds like a hobby more than a job.
:D

[Nevadan]

I was a hod carrier for a group of whiny, azzhole masons who could not communicate without yelling expletives...."Hey stupid....mud's too wet....Hey dipshit.....mud's too dry....Hey fugghead....don't you know nothin'....etc...."

I also spent about half a summer working a jackhammer on an airstrip apron, breaking up concrete which was only marginally better than the job I had for a week of breaking reinforced concrete with a sledgehammer.

[Packmike]

Working at the Round Table on Prater and I St and having a car full of my high school friends drive by laughing at me while I was sweeping the sidewalk out front
