Day 12: Worst job you've ever had.
I've had several questionable jobs... I'm probably about to sound like a stuck up brat but whatever, the question was asked. First off I have to be kinda honest here... I have had a lot of different jobs in my life. I counted one time a few years ago and the number was over 15 different ones. I have no idea why; I just got bored when I was younger and decided to do a lot of different things. Let me count which ones I can remember... let's start at the beginning:
- Boteler's Decorative Concrete - My families business that I always worked at from the time I was born until they sold it when I was 18.
- El Dorado Steak House - That one sucked I was a 15 year old bus girl.
- Mi Casita - A 15 year old waitress at the dumbest Mexican restaurant in town.
- A Party store I can't remember the name of that lasted 2 days.
- McAlisters Deli - That was a fun job for a teenager & I met my best friend there.
- Dominoes Pizza- ONE OF THE WORST I worked there for 1 shift. Couldn't even handle the weird people OR the fact that I would have gained 700lbs from eating all the free pizza. This one was for my health people...I just couldn't do it!
- Nagoya - A yummy sushi bar that was also pretty fun to work at.
- USM Dorms - checking in guests at the girls dorm
- Diffata's market - ONE OF THE WORST. The owner was a train wreck and I remember missing a spring break trip because I had to work and then I ended up quitting 2 weeks later.
- Bath and Body Works - I loved this one... such a fun place to work. Except the floor sets, I hated doing those AND all the damn boxes. I'd get so many paper cuts.
- Cracker Barrel- this was a pretty bad one too. The main reason I hated it was due to the uniforms. I felt so damn ugly in a mans button down, khakis, Timberland boots, and a brown apron that all I wanted to do was hide.
- The Popcorn Place - I helped out one Christmas at Chad's Grandparents place... that was a really fun time and I'm so happy I got to experience it before they closed it down the next year.
- BancorpSouth- ONE OF THE WORST jobs due to the management I had at my particular spot. The boss was an emotional, jealous, crazy train wreck and I was not dealing with that crap. Also, I was in school full time and just couldn't do the full time working too.
- The Computer Labs at USM - So fun... loved all my University jobs.
- Campus Operator at USM - Another really fun/easy school job with an amazing manager.
- MDES - Unemployment Claims officer... My first post college "big girl" job. It was a great experience and I worked there until I was transferred to a better/different job with another state agency that was closer to my apartment at the time.
- MDES- WIN JOB CENTER MS Steps coordinator. I loved this job... I would have never left it but I was on a federal temporary program that didn't get extended and there weren't any other openings. I learned so much working there and it was one of the BEST experiences of my life.
- Southern Beverage - Oh this job... it was fun and I worked with a few really great people. Then there were days I felt like I was in a mental institute dealing with dumb boys that thought just because I was a woman I was stupid. Oh, that place got my blood boiling sometimes.
- Seattle Sun Tan - This was my first job that I got out of the blue right after we moved to Seattle. It was a lot of fun but it was when I was working there that I realized I'm way to old to be dealing with high school drama/crap. I had to get back into a career job that fed my interests and challenged me mentally.
- PEI - Hands down the best job I have ever had! I am so happy and fulfilled with my current job that if I have it my way I will never leave. I wish everyone could be as happy with their jobs as I am now. It's out there people you obviously just have to have 19 other jobs before you find it. HA!
