Steam cleaning rancid tallow out of 44 gallon (55gal US) drums. About 3 months before I joined the Oz pubic circus.

Child care!!
Also I've had a few one day only jobs that really sucked. There was the selling bar-b-que beef at a crappy little grocery store, working in a plumbing store, and Taco Bell which was very hot no matter where you touched.

1 day, working for Australian Paper Mills, my wifes dad worked there and he got me the worlds most boring job, not only did i have to stand around all day (10 hours as this was the stupid shift they worked) doing absolutly nothing but i had to choke on large volumes of cardboard dust, at the end of the shift i went up to the forman and said this is not cup of tea and i want be back, he just said ok and my father in law did not talk to me for 3 months, i guess i'll never know how the hell he worked there for 37 years

Um, this one? The one that ends today after not quite three months?
I actually stayed at a job once for one day. It was a temporary position as an assistant to a CPA, and from the get-go the man screamed and made me feel small. Life's too short--and I'm too good at what I do--for that.
I guess they just didn't know *how* temporary the job would be for me. I never went back.

It was the one that when I walked in the first day along with 4 others to start our new jobs, the boss said to me........you'll be MY coffee girl today.
I told him that I was nobody's coffee girl (along with other colorful words) and left!

I have two bad ones, but I was in one shorter than the other.
1. Telemarketer. $12/hr in high school is a good wage ~~ but not worth it when you're selling death insurance (casket and burial) to little old ladies via scare tactics.
2. Waitress at Frisch's (kinda like a Denny's or IHOP). 24 hours and people constantly NOT showing up for their shifts. One time I worked 21 hours without a break....and waitressing work is HARD. The worst was the late shift...we were right near a campus and the drunks would come to us after the bars closed ot eat pancakes. Then they would throw up in the booths, or leave NO tip (and I earned a whopping $2.13/hr). Also, drunk men CANNOT pee straight.
<sigh> Good memories.
