Crappy jobs. We've all had them, haven't we? I was musing recently on what i consider to be the worst job i've ever done. And before i go on, i'm not ashamed to admit i've done early momo cleaning in this town. But this job i speak of sure did take the (cabin) biscuit.
Anyway, not having the good fortune to have been born with a silver spoon in my gob, i had to work my way through University. I got a job as a Market Research Telephone Interviewer, which is the height of soul destroying toil, and i challenge anyone to say otherwise. The only redeeming factor about the job was you could choose which days and times (i.e. day or evening) you worked each week. Talk about drudgery. This was it! I would look forward to the break times with everything within me 'cos i did meet and make friends with some really cool people along the way. Nothing is more binding than a shared hatred of a crappy job, let me tell you. And by the way, this isn't said 'crappiest job'. I'm getting to that.
So sha, i finally realised that i had the power to take my destiny into my own hands and actually find another job. The only problem was i would need to find something equally as flexible.

i think the crappiest job i've ever had was this job that involved cleaning washrooms in a children's recreation park. i hated it. needless to say, i quit after 2 days
First Job I did when I came to this country was working at Burger King for £3.15 an hour. Then, I was given a payrise of £3.33 (whoopee!!)
I refused to do 'Early-Morning', though.. :-)
ps: hook a sister up, huh? if you're interested in photography, tow me a line!
@ lonely truth - The things we do for the green stuff eh?
@ Akin - lol! Unfortunately my photographic skills do not extend beyond point and shoot,so i'll have to stick with current day job for now, which BTW, is also crappy!
I did market research for 5 years on and off. My soul died. We used to get 25p payrise after x amount of hours. Sounds sad but them 25ps made a difference then.
@ jerusalem - i know exactly what you mean...
They're showing a prog tonight on ITV1 with Anne Widdecombe about Benefits. No doubt I'll be blogging about that!
@akin - yeah, i saw something about that but didnt get to see it. Was it any good? She's one scary lady!
