Prob my first helpdesk job.. was a nightmare, was like doing time. I never want to work as support staff in a big call centre again, treated like cattle and you are easily replaceable, everyday was a battle, some people even fell into depression some didnt last a week.. duno how I held it down for nearly two years.

 

Worked in a Chippie when I was 15.
Every day stinking if Fish and Potatoe.

Lovely!

 

My first job at 15, was bagging groceries at a local grocery store... Did that for the summer to build myself this custom rig to play Unreal Tournament... was worth it!

 

I used to work in fibreglass, which basically was really bad for you, you stank of chemicals and there was a lot of dust in the air.

Long story short, I was moaning to a bloke one day saying, i hate this job its crap etc, he replied, well do something about it then. Which I did and thats why I am here today

 

Cargo administrative asst. Actually, the job is just fine. But it became worse due to the company owner. She had this attitude of not trusting her people.

 

Luxury!

Many years ago I used to work on music festivals doing various things - one time we would be putting toilet rolls into portaloos for two full days. They stank so bad that some people in the queue were puking.

Bad, poorly paid jobs are good for you I believe. You realize it makes sense to learn stuff and get some skills... You also realize they need to be done by someone and you *should* earn some respect for those doing them (optional).

 

Busboy/dishwasher at Bonanza Steakhouse.

 

Blockbuster... I was there when it was going down, got fired because I wasn't tucking in my shirt lol... it was that bad! 6 months later, the store closed down.

 

Their Twitter account is pure genius. Someone has missed their calling in life there!

 

I think there are still some stores open... but not very many.
