Subway for the 3 summers during my university years.

I hadda work nights all the time and the shop was close to the popular dance club. So, not only was I slinging subs for the public, it was a drunk public...at 4:00AM. Fuck me.

I wanted to shit in the pickles on a nightly basis.

Worse job I ever had was right after I got out of the Marines I took a guard position at Wells Fargo. My 'beat' was a parking lot at the Claycomo Ford plant full of brand new 1977 Fords. 12 hour shifts with 3 time clocks that had to be punched once an hour. I lived about an hour away at the time. They kept asking me to work double shifts. Like 12 hours in one day wasn't enough.


**Practicing the dark art of turn signal usage since 1976.**

LOL

Hahah, 4am? That's when the sobering assholes are coming out of the clubs/bars, still pissed as shit, angry, hungry and tired. Man, I would have hated a job like that.

My worst one was back when I was wrangled into helping some guy paint machine sheds. I ended up doing all the work while the fucker would talk to the owners of the buildings. I was painting the roof of a real big one, one you could fit large farm macinery in. All of a sudden I lost my footing and slid on my ass all the way to the edge. My legs were hanging off and I was two inches from going off, if I fell I'd probably been killed.

So I quit right after that and I ended up only getting paid 20 bucks. Worst day ever.
