Bad Jobs..

JDB- ah the best cock contest, yes we did that as well.

HOBO:

Which one? I've worked in two, didn't mind the job actually, well it would have been great but for;

1. Customers
   
2. Managers
   
3. The shitty playlists over the speakers
   
4. Working weekends
   
5. Replenishments
   
6. Doing the chart wall
   
   

I work in Canary Wharf. Don't mind the customers. A lot of bankers but most are nice enough. I agree with everything else though. I think im just at an age when I need to do something a little less pointless. I was actually considering the police force. Where did you work?

Birmingham many years ago and 3 years at Oxford Circus. Good social scene, if by scene you mean drinking till you barf.

Am I the only person on here who's only ever had one job?

All have had their good sides and bad, my life keeps trundling along and I shall (almost certainly) be a wage slave till I die.

Butchers apprentice at the age of 14.
I had to clean out the mincer machine (come on, that's open for a gag) then clean the fridges where the meat was hung (any more?). At Christmas, I had to work on the turkey farms for hours on end.

I think this is where i had to really HTFU from an early age..... the only good thing to come from the job was the ability to wield knives and apply surgical precision to flesh.....

Which is why i roam the streets at night.

I was a cleaner at the Tower of London once. That was pretty good actually. Much worse was the temp job I took calling 5000 people to see if they were coming to some arsehole's yacht party. Jesus, that was tedious.

Taking a job and never doing anything else would drive me spare. Mainly because that job would have been my first one; paper boy.

I worked at the london stock exchange when the top two floors were being fitted out. The workmen needed to use the goods lift, which had a security swipe card system. They couldn't be bothered to give all the workmen swipe cards, so they got me to sit in the lift all day with a 2 way radio and go to floors when i was told to.

I lasted two weeks, went a bit mental. Slept a lot. Still, £8 an hour.

^ Every job has its ups and downs.

5000 peeps on a yacht? That's a big fucking boat!

In australia I temped in a bank. I worked 3 floors below ground, through the bulletproof airlock in the foreign currency safe counting money.

Obviously no natural light, which was a bit crap. Also got weird skin diseases from handling all the different notes that had been tynan-knows where.

Spent most of the time trying to work out how to steal the money / blank travellers cheques without getting nicked. And pushing round trolleys with (literally) £1million piled up on them.

5000 peeps on a yacht? That's a big fucking boat!

Most of them said no, so I think it was probably a tiny yacht and he was just inviting as many people as possible in the hope that he would find a few people who didn't think he was an arsehole. OR to piss the temp off.
