Indeed.

My worst: Probably kaufman tire. Manager was the type that HAD to hit budget every day, So I'd wind up working 12 hours a day without lunch. Every night i was stuck there 2 hours after closing because he'd continue to take cars in after closing, promising me that each one was the last. Literally lost 5 pounds in a week and I was only like 160lbs back then. Walked out.

Current/best: Search engine marketing (managing the ads you see in google search results). Sit in front of a computer all day.

My worst job? Can't really think of one. Seem I've kind of enjoyed most all of them.

My favorite job? My current one could be a front runner. With it, I've been able to see lots of the country and get paid to do so. Walked the shores of a couple of the Great Lakes, been over to Canada, seen Niagra Falls, been to a LLWS game in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, driven through New York City, Boston, Amish country and plenty more.

Worst:1st job i ever had when i was 13. I was a rug flipper for a persian rug guy at what they call a BAZAAR. Basically its a European flea market and the military kids would get signed up to help out different vendors. I got stuck with Alis Rugs . So you would have a stack of literally 500 rugs on top of each other, and someone would want to see one on the very bottom, so you would have to flip them all the way down. Got rug burns, back breaking work. But, i got paid like $200, which was like being rich at the time

Best: Networking Systems Administrator for USARC. Got paid BANK, job was tons of fun and really laid back.

Current:Full time student so I can finish my degree in my field.

Honorable mention: Batlground or any other performance shop i worked for SUCKED. Long hours, shitty pay , horrible customers.

Worst: Pepboys, I was the only person who actually worked. I was the cashier, worked parts, and driver all for shit pay.

Best: Working with my uncle at his shop, I would make $100 minimum for a days work.

Current: Working at Fry's Electronics in the e-cage, I dont do much just sit on my ass. Its an alright job but I would rather move around instead of being stuck in a cage for 8 hours.

i havent had many jobs....

worst: overnight stocking at kroger. weird co workers..hard work for minimum wage. made me work when i was sick as a dog. i quit. just not fun at all!

best: doesnt count as a real job, but i was a "paid intern" at a mechanics shop. the atmosphere was great i loved it! got to work on customers cars without any training. got paid pretty well..helped keep my mind busy while i was going thru a bad breakup..only lasted 3 weeks because it was agreed upon before start of work that i would only work till summer break ended.

current: student assistant at the GGC wellness and recreation center. Been there for 4.5 years and now i supervise the newer staff. Dont do much work since the 'chain of command' attitude at the school allows me to boss the newer workers around, but we work as a team and i make sure everyone is happy! working here till i grad and move onto somethin much better!!

worst : line cook at shoney's when I was in high school

best: automotive tech at a small shop. worked only 40-50 hours a wekk and made really good money. got laid off due to the economy a few years back.

current: toyo tire north america (testing department). It's fun and interesting having tires blow up and stuff but I can't really move up from here.

side note: going back to the IT field I started in back in '99. Currently studying for my certifications and will more than likely go back to school.
