Crap jobs

Door-to-door burglar alarm salesman for three months while at Uni. Didn't sell a single one

The ntl:home call centre in Fishersgate was a pretty grim experience. Probably worst of all was having to agree with the irate customers that, yes, ntl had f***ed up for the 100th time and no, nobody knew what the hell was going on with regard their install cock up.

Doing that for a year... I dunno. It's enough to make you want to leave the country...

Go on, beat THAT.

I'll try.

Turkey farm, running up to Christmas.

As I was not very good at plucking (oo err) my jobs alternated between:

a) killing the damn things with a neck breaker (or holding their wings while someone else kiled them) having caught them in a pitch dark enclosed pen 12 ft square by 3 ft high which stank of ammonia and held up to fifty turkeys.

b) trussing and hanging them once they had been plucked - each plucker would put the Turkey down on the table in front of me hard enough for turkey shit to shoot out of it's arse onto my shirt.

I was vegetarian for twelve years after that.

MacDonalds as a student.

Never got off my green 'probationers' badge

Got fired after 6 weeks for giving food away & locking the supervisor in a freezer.

Worst job was as an internet lawman, as some of you may recall.
The joy and despair of seeing a man being raped by a badger will stay with me a while longer. And who could forget the loveless world of Young Gay Turd-Eaters? Not me, that's for sure.

YAY

my favourite NSC memory, hearing that a BADGER can RAPE a man. Amazing world we live in.

You should come to my counselling sessions.

For me it's the choice of one of two jobs, and I can never decide between the two. Spud or strawberry picking. both back breaking hard mind numbing graft.


Oh! And being beaten by people old enough to be your grandmother, and them laughing at you for being rubbish. I finished both after three days.

Call centre work is grim. I started off as an accounts clerk dealing with customer accounts for the Electricity company in Yorkshire.
Then the supply industry was privatised, taken over and taken over again.
The accounts office was made into a call centre and supervisors put in that were 'yes' men and average age of 22.
All of a sudden I knew nothing (despite all my years of service) and I had to ask permission to go to the loo.

I stuck it for 5 years knowing that sooner or later I would get made redundant (which I did and got thousands) but in the meantime it was like a sweatshop and grim, very grim.
The service to the customer got worse and worse and on top of that I had to sell gas and the silly little telephone devices as well and got into trouble if I didn't sell.

I worked in a chicken processing factory for a while, doing various jobs, including in the kill/defeather dept but mainly in the evisceration dept. Some of the jobs were OK - but the worst was cleaning the neck flaps. Shit job - painful & repetitive.

That was 15 years ago. I'm STILL vegetarian because of that job.

i once had this rubbish job, whilst at uni where i had to sit in this posh hotel and test new alcoholic drinks coming out on the market
it was monday, wednesday, friday nights, 2hours a night and i had to test new drinks for 4 months
each night would be a different type of drink, i.e one day white wine, the next whisky based drinks, the next ales, the next alcopops, the next lager etc etc
to make it worse i then had to score them out of 10 and give a description as to why i like/disliked it
it was £80 for 6 hours work a week
absolute hell

mushroom laboratory . . . .tasks included washing and spin drying horse manure ( I'm not joking)

Fixing printers in a university full of stupid people.

Argh.

 

[Beach Hut]

I worked for one weekend at Butlitz Hotel, Saltdean. Crap job scooping peas in a mesh net and dumping them on inedible meal.

I got "sacked" on the Sunday as the floor manageress was a jew and I was a skinhead.

Some you win some you lose

I worked for a short while emptying cesspits for Wealden Council.The worst bit was when you forgot to change from blow to suck at the first job of the day. Like Vesuvius but brown.

 

[CAFC Matt]

The Co Op. End of.

I've worked there too back in the mid 80s, was in the Dishwash for a bit scraping the leftovers into a bin and trying to remove blowtorched steak and kidney pie from an oven pan.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Paper round, the only job I have ever had (which I was getting paid to do).

So dull and shit pay
