      My worst job was working as a cashier at Toys R Us… HATED it… always so busy on a Saturday, so many toys went through which the till didn’ recognise and I had to get up and run around the entire shop trying to find another one… ugh… then you had to ring up some number every time a cheque went through which made the customers arsey… then you got whiney old bags commented on the fact you have bright hair and a few piercings and saying you look like a miserable cunt (which was bad seeing as their were kids around listening)… really hated it =/

          worst job – washing up person in a commercial kitchen: the pay and the hours were lousy

          best job – [this one stumped me :laugh_at:] probably the 6 month contract when I was illustrating for an archaelogy book for sheer pleasure of the finished product [the pay was ok but nothing special]

                      Worst job : anything the fuckers at Recruitment Ipswich gave me in college break, walking round a ploughed field in drizzle clearing spuds was a high light but previous to that, packing veg in a steel box in 90 degrees had its moments too…..

                      Best job : screwing plugs onto PSUs for dictafones, dead straight forward, paid by the piece, work from home, biftas with mates and loud music on the go all the time :love:

                                  I was offered a job in a local chicken farm when I was expelled but luckily enough I got taken on by a local builder instead, shovelling rubble in the burning sun still seems a better bet :groucho:

                                              amazing how poultry and the processing thereof features highly in the list of “worst jobs..”. I suppose free range farming of ducks and geese might be OK though (and any more of this weather and some parts of EA may as well become a paddy field..)

                                              its always good to create something, there were times when I had installed a new system for a small TV station in foreign countries when I felt a sense of achievement and the customers were grateful…

                                                      I used to feel really good when i was a chef and i would cook for a wedding party and the food looked awesome and they loved it.

                                                      Best jobs i think are anyone that you feel satisfied with.
