Gotta be my current one. I think I'll quit or be fired by the end of the week. It really only has one positive.

Well considering I've been fired from 4 (or 5?) jobs.. I'm gonna say they all sucked. I'm gonna say being a cashier at a grocery store was the worst though... the best? The government gives me money.. :D

I got fired from subway for breaking the door off the walk-in freezer less than 30 minutes after the repairman had left after he had just rehinged it.

tellemarketer.  i could not sit still long enough for those stupid shifts.  I used to end up talking for hours with random people instead of selling them stuff.  i used to stand on my desk and wander around with the phone. I never wanted the job, but i was overqualified for every other job in town, so no one would hire me. :(

I managed to get payed for 3 weeks, even though I only worked 2and a half.  I walked in one day, told them I wasn't staying, and hoped a flight to the Dominican the next day to work there.  turn out to be a great summer!
The only constant in my life is change.
Friends are the family we choose.

isn't it great how you can be overqualified for things, whats wrong w/ the world these days

the only job i ever hated was wen i tried to be a mortgage broker, terrible, quit after 1 day, a good job if you can get it is working at a golf course, either a caddie or vallet

Direct sales representative for time warner cable.  Pretty much I worked for a bunch of military rejects that joined the military right out of highschool and were in their 30's and had never lived life.  Needless to say they didn't like that I would show up to work in my Subby with it caked in mud from going off roading while trying to find customers houses.

Sweet revenge.
Seriously though, smelly genetalia always end in tears. They should have a little skit about that at the end of a GI Joe episode. "Remember kids, wash your naynays or Chelly will beat you."

working in property tax collections for the provincial government... terrible.
 
being fired from a cashier position at a pharmacy because i was 'too stressed'.... laughable.
 
being chased around the house by a homicidal client... scary as shit.
 
makes cleaning up poop at my current job much more bearable.

Best Buy, hands down.  While I like their products, their company sucks badly.  They have lame policies...I was written up for selling a Rewards membership while cashiering....which we weren't supposed to do.  The customer had $1000 in new digital camera equiptment, and was ecstatic that I helped her out.  Nothing like getting written up for helping a customer stay happy and ensuring repeat business.  Even my supervisor agreed with me, but "it's policy".  But they were fine with me trying to sell magazine subscriptions, product replacement warranties (which are a ripoff 90% of the time), and other garbage.  Needless to say, but I ended up quitting over BS like this.

My least favorite was probably the military.  They didn't always agree that my life is my life...
 
But I can't say I have any real gripes about any job I've had.

2 words: Planet Fitness
 
I was the morning manager at one of those dick-cheese establishments. I had to be there at 3:45am to clean toilets & treadmills, & to humor about 600 meatheads during my shift. I'm not even going to go into detail on the men's showers... lets just say that i've seen my fair share of splooge stuck to the shower curtains & shit-stained underwear. As if driving 1/2 hour to work every morning before the plow trucks are out in the winter, my car broke down & I had to ride my bike to work for a month... in January... 18 miles... at 2am.
 
If anyone can top that, then I will buy you a beer.
 
Oh, I also worked in a cemetary, but that job was pretty cool. Who else can say that they legally buried a human body?? I didnt think so...
Bacon = meat candy. Think about it.

you owe me a beer.

my legal experience/my job of burring bodies has your shitty fitness job beat.  Try digging the hole with a pocket shovel.
Hope:
everything will be okay in the end.
if it is not okay, then it is not the end.
