She works hard for the money....

[Chichiguita]

What's the craziest job you have ever had?

(mine was being a magician's assistiant---although I made a pretty funny security guard too)

[Dixie Tree Slayer]

So you know some magic too??? Wow... Awesome for a woman working so hard for the money!!!:clap: You must have some expenses now to be talking about working hard for her money...:-D

[firefly]

I worked for the U.S. Government & did the census of 2000. Very interesting job, to say the least!:smt103

Delta Telecommunications... I was one of those pesky people that call you during dinner. "If you can answer the following trivia question..." and we supplied the answer. I don't know what they were selling, I was the initial caller. I was awful at my job. I felt so bad for the people I called.

[fuzzis]

:kekeke:

I can't say. But I was awful at it, and I only lasted about four hours.

:kekeke:

Outside of that, I worked for a wholesale firearms distributor...and had some CRAZY customers. Before they closed our facility, I was doing all kinds of things, but one of my jobs was to work the switchboard while the receptionist was at lunch. Every day, one of our customers would call and say, "Ok fuzz, my wife's at lunch, you can talk dirty to me now." :laugh: He apparently thought I had a sexy voice. :laugh: (I took advantage of his fascination...he sold me guns at cost. The Xboy built his arsenal when I worked there. Good lord. My paychecks went right back to the company :smt105)

You know you're going to have to tell now.... you'll have all kinds of potty remarks before this thread dies.

[Scarlett O'Hara]

FOUR hours???????????????????

[fuzzis]

FOUR hours???????????????????

It was all perfectly legal. :-D

[Dixie Tree Slayer]

It was all perfectly legal. :-D
I got a friend that had to check men for "physical" problems associated with Erectile Disfunction. She had to use some kind of cuff she said... It was perfectly legal as well but she wouldn't tell anyone until she drank too much around the campfire...
So pretend you are camping and we are telling stories and it is your turn... We are all friends here... Your identity will not be disclosed... Even if we are served with a warrant....:-D

[dyates]

Phone sex operator

[Dixie Tree Slayer]

Phone sex operator
Well there went my coffee all over!!!:laugh:
Fuzzis... You want to give us your phone number???

[dyates]

oopsie...sorry about that Slayer, it was the first thing that came to mind :kekeke:

[LipsofanAngel]

It's not too crazy... but I helped some with cleaning home construction sites. Carrying slabs of marble and granet down stairs in the middle of the summer in a house with no electricity... and cleaning up in the corners where construction workers decided to urinate rather than using their port-a-pottie... and picking up bottles of dip spit- NASTY and hard labor. Not fun.

[Conveyor Belt]

summer help at Hattiesburg Clinic and poll manager are about the oddest things I've done... I once worked at a daylily farm when I was underage...

[virgo]

The craziest, worse job? Has to be my very first job.

I was 14, desperate for a job and got hired at Chuck E. Cheese. Each day, you were assigned something different. You'd be a "runner" meaning you'd run the pizzas out to the tables; you'd be in charge of the games or helping run the General Store....and the absolute worse thing was having to put on the costume and prance around as Chuckee. It sucked. Big time.

But man, do I have the stories to tell about that place. One reason why I don't take my son there very often.

I did the same thing for a while. Good money but digusting work at times.

[dollfus46]

I mowed yards for spending money in HS. Was a camp counsellor at the state YMCA camp at Durant, MS one summer, and a soda jerk and prescription delivery boy in HS for Southwest Pharmacy on Broadway Dr.
That's the only jobs I had. Never worked again until after college. Well.....I ran a one man stud service but had no customers. I still have that business.:kekeke: Course if I had a customer now, I'd get sued for failure to complete the work.:smt118

[Honey]

Once I was helping someone at a job site. Just to help him clean up. I was toting a big black construction garbage bag and one of those grabby things that you pick up trash with. I was just picking up trash inside the glass front building. I looked up and a guy I graduated high school with was looking in. I liked to have died. The look on his face was like wow, she didn't go far. I was embarrassed. If I could have caught him I would have told him, "I is a college graduate and just doing this because I think the owner of the company is cute."

[Imapepper]

I worked for ONE month for those smilin' lawyers (one call that's all) on tv that says he will get you millions of dollars if you just call him. I had to go to accident victims houses to get them to sign papers to sue whomever caused the accident. It made me feel like slime, and I didn't like that feeling so I quit.

[Honey]

That was you pepper. I still waiting on my money! You said you'd be right back.

[Imapepper]

I tried to give you some rep for that, honey but it told me to spread it around. :laugh::laugh:

[Hermione]

Long-distance telephone operator in the days of cord-boards. Visualize the Lily Tomlin setup. When people put money in the payphones, you had to count it by the sound it makes (quarters went "bong" nickels went "beep" and dimes went "beep-beep". I think) It was miserable. The only worse job was the summer before I went to college, when I worked on an assembly line for five weeks soldering. The smell of solder still makes me a little ill.

Ahhh... the original lead poisoning...

OMG! Was that during the late 80's or around 1990? I think I worked for the same company! "This is your lucky sweepstakes program(I think) calling you from the *Company name* If you can correctly answer the question I have for you today you can win one of the following prizes....." I can't believe I still remember that! Terrible! Awful job! I would have hung up on myself!

I worked the midnight shift at Waffle House for a few months during college.

I also worked at a ranch in Carriere, but quit as soon as I realized that there was no actual work for me to do and that I was being paid to hang around a bunch of drunk rednecks while wearing a tight shirt. I was actually in tight-shirt-shape then.

Also worked with the developmentally disabled for a state agency in Memphis. Saw some wild stuff there. You haven't had a crazy job until you've seen a mentally retarded autistic schizophrenic drink a pot of coffee in thirty seconds then strip down to his socks and start banging his head into the wall while screaming "COFFEEEE!"

[Green Tea]

I would have to say the most bizarre job I had was working at a local doll shop. You know those collectable dolls made by companies like "Madame Alexandria" and such. It always amazed me how grown women would spend hundreds of dollars on a doll. I understand the collectors/value side of it, but geez. Dolls?

I have an aunt who collects these dolls. Her house scares me because it's filled with hundreds of these dolls......all staring at you. :ohnoes:

My great-grandmother's house was like that.

What a coincidence, we have a MH Bookie who collects dolls also....his name escapes me though :kekeke:

CHIPPENDALE DANCER AND BULLRIDER

[wilebill]

Let's see, crazy job. I don't know. Some people may think these are a little crazy.

Sold corn and other veggies on the side of the road when I was a kid.

(I didn't actually get paid for this job) Picked cucumbers twice a frickin day every day for forever so we could sell them to the pickle plant.

Worked in a feed mill unloading feed from trucks and railroad cars. I almost fell thru the bottom of one of the railroad cars into the auger underneath it. The shovel was not so lucky.

Counted cars going thru intersections.

Weighed steel after it had been coated with galvanizing.

Worked as a short order cook at a local breakfast/lunch place.

Let's see - I'll have to take the year I graduated high school and subtract... it was probably 1989 or 1990. I'm going to go with 1990.

I think I was there during my senior year of high school which was 1988.

[countrygirl]

Can't help but put my two cents worth in even though I've only ever had one job, but it must be one of the craziest ones around.....teaching school. The teachers on this thread could really tell you some stories....

[proudtobefrompetal]

I was only 15 in '88 so it wasn't me... thought maybe I'd found a long, lost friend! ;)
