Best Job You Ever Had? - Most jobs suck

  • Intermittent Denial of Service attack is causing downtime. Looks like a kiddie 5 min rental. Looking into some solutions.

Pizza delivery driver. Best fucking job ever.

Kept me in good shape, got outside and met people, got paid cash every fucking day at the end of the shift, and free food. The best part is I can still make a phone call and pick up a shift or two if I want a couple bucks. You respect the pizza shop, the pizza shop respects you.

Kindergarten assistant working with kids aged 3-5.

Really well-behaving kids. Jobs included reading stories and patting their heads to calm them down during nap time if they had trouble going to sleep, it was like a human petting zoo as a job. All the fun of taking care of kids with none of the downsides.

in the same vain as @Exceptional Mafioso, I worked at a flower shop and was their delivery driver. it was in a small town too, and I was driving an old ass Forerunner that had a cassette player and all my oldest sister's cassettes from the 80s/90s, so the majority of my time working was driving and enjoying the country while listening to great music. and the majority of customers were older women receiving flowers, so they always loved to see you and were always really nice. :]

Worked 5 years at a vet clinic. I loved and hated it. Loved it, because I love working with all kinds of animals, hated it because you learn just how stupid people are with their pets. Being cruel is one thing, being stupid is another.

I would say that working on a ranch was better. If I ever get a chance to go back to that I will in a heartbeat.

You know thinking back hustling pizza was my favorite job. I'd do 11-11 Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun. I used to make 100-200 a day under the table. Got free food. Got to take whatever pizza was left from the house pies home which made me a hero to the roommates I had back then. Ended up with some good stories too. Even once I got a real person job I still pulled shifts on Fri/Sat nights.

Being a SERGRAD was pretty cool. All the benefits of working in a training command and flying daily, none of the responsibility of running the shop.

mm Only really had one job before I started college, and that was the army. I'd say the best time was a supervisory detail we did up in Germany. They needed infantry dudes who'd been in for awhile, and all of the NCOs tasked were getting out of the army soon anyway, so none of them gave a fuck what we did. We basically just went out, and got hammered every night while there.

I was a private messenger for a corporate law firm at the start of the oughts. It was inside a massive corporate tower in a major American city and the building was shot through with grey & black market activity of all kinds. Teams of experienced professional shoplifters would visit the sub basement once a week and sell designer threads to me & the other non-lawyering plebs at rock bottom prices. Half the crew drank on the job, the rest smoked joints and if you worked past 8 pm you got a free towncar to drive you home. My car was nearly always piloted by a shady Russian named Igor who would let me smoke blunts in the back so long as I let him stop in the village to buy the heroin he shot into his big, puffy hands while driving (*edit - I never saw him use). The lawyers would send you on sketchy runs, picking up diamonds in the jewelry district or delivering mysterious packages to locations at the edge of the city. You'd usually never know what you were going to be delivering until it was handed to you (probably for security). 5 nights a week, the lawyers would order exquisitely catered meals they never finished from all the top restaurants nearby, so we on the staff ate like kings.

There was a lot of wacky shit going on back in the day that I don't think could ever happen in current year. Everything was so lackadaisical and 9/11 hadn't really changed the nature of security and surveillance yet.

I once had to move these big laser tables off of the 5th floor of the physics building and onto a truck. The problem was that they were too big to fit inside the elevator and too heavy to take down the stairs. So we called the elevator company and they sent out a guy to run it so we could take them down on top of the elevator. I got to be the one who ride down with them Bruce Willis style.

The best job I ever had was in high school just helping/entertaining old people. Second best job I ever had was the first 4 or 5 years I worked at a bakery. I stayed an extra 4 years more after it turned to dumpster fire like a moron. Worst job I ever had was Wal-Mart, after being there for less than a week it gave me cancer!

A really odd stint as a temporary jack-of-all-trades admin assistant at a web shop. I did everything from marketing research for boutique hotels to organizing the music composition process for a collection of short films. Every day was something different and I enjoyed that.

I know the wonder. Elevators are awesome beasts to tame.
