Worst Job You Ever Had

For me:

Working in the Apple sorting sheds in Chelan, Washington when I was 18 in 1974/1975.... Boring, mundane noisy work....pay back then then was $1.95 an hour.

It was even a worse job to me sorting apples for 8 hours than when I was working in a nursing home at age 20 with all the old people....( and that was about as depressing as you can get when you are 20 years old!)

Working in a factory. But the company paid all my college expenses and promoted me after graduation. And it's where I met my husband. Guess it wasn't so bad after all.

One awful summer in a lingerie factory.

I worked at a Dairy Queen one summer in high school. Awful, disgusting place with even worse management. I can't bring myself to go near one now.

I actually liked all my jobs. My very first was at an answering service. (Think Lily Tomln and the switchboard with all the cords). Worked there spring and summer of my senior year in high school and summers during college. Very pressure filled to be honest. Loved it. Each board had 100 customers on it and we had 8 cords so we could juggle 8 calls at a time.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Dialysis nurse Started work at 6AM and worked until you were done - however long it took. Several times we worked 24 straight hours. Thank Goodness there was a law in Pa saying they couldn't work anyone more than 24 hours in a row , or they certainly would have made us stay on. I made more money in that job than any I'd ever had, which was good because it was the last 7 years before I retired and because of it I get more SS. We were on call 2 or 3 days a week.I totally wore out 2 cars because of all the back & forth to work, sometimes 3 trips each way in one day.No matter what the weather.
