Consumerlink for 3 months in 2007. Just awful. Had the good fortune of being able to use end of year exams as a way out.
Three for me, and two for them.

I can say I've got a worst job, but my worst time on a job would be drilling concrete samples a week before Xmas last year on a boat under the Tiwai Bridge, in the middle of Bluff Harbour in a howling freezing south westerly!! I had on 5 layers of clothing including my wet weather gear. This went on for 4 days.

Employer? Pizza Hut. Nothing wrong with the work, just the co-workers. Everyone bar me and one other person was either incompetent or abusive... or both.
Job? At Domino's, standing on the traffic island of Tauranga's busiest road, holding a wobbleboard in the hot sun for half an hour. I hate the heat and it's not fun on the arms either.
Luckily most of my employed career has been fantastic jobs working in either sports, education/childcare, or both.

Are you allowed to make more mistakes next month then?
Worst job: working at a plastic extrusion factory. Pay was great but the job was smelly, tedious, always on the move and mechanical (rote). 12 hour shifts.

summer job while at school. working on a farm cutting/spraying scrub on the east coast in 35 degree heat. wearing protective gear, full spray suits etc, carrying 15kgs on my back up and down hills/gulleys. the physical demand was incredible, sometimes people would faint/get sun stroke. a lot of employees would come and go if it was to much but it paid well so was good to hang in there.
it's good to have experience working in challenging conditions, makes you appreciate a normal days work.

Sounds pretty much a stink job!!
But I worked in an old NZ Gummnt dept (now defunct after Rogernomics) and we sprayed herbicides with just normal work overalls. Also aerial spray mixing for monsoon buckets was a pretty cavalier operation.
Safety gear may be uncomfortable but it hopefully prolongs life and quality of life.

when I was at Massey I had a job in a warehouse stacking pellets to be delivered for supermarkets (49 boxes of Cornies, 20 cases of Coke cans, etc). Problems with the job were that it started at 6am (and I had to cycle there on a bike I found with no tyres - just the metal inners) and that I was useless at stacking and kept getting the pellets nearly full and then watching them topple over. Nightmare.
Also, working on the Wellington docks sucking off visiting sailors when I was 14 wasn't much fun.
All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Pak 'n' Save seafood department. $7.15 an hour for customers and managers to treat you like sh*t and you smell like fish. I did that for around two years, some of it full time. The flip side is it encouraged me to go to uni because I didn't want to do that all my life - like so many people there do. Now I get to spend an afternoon looking at breasts and then writing a story about it.

Seems like you and Frankie have had similar experiences.

Arguably there's still something fishy about what you do anyway...

My worst job would be working at Raeward Fresh which is a meat and vege supermarket in the South Island. Had to be there at 7.30am on days I was stacking shelves and I'm useless before 11am so it was horrible. Then other times I was a trolley boy ('trolley technician' as they called it) and you just walked around feeling like a retard all day - degrading to say the least. Happy to see the back of that place!

My worst job would be banana picking in the Northern Territory, 70kms from Darwin. 40 degreesC, unbearable humidity, worlds highest concentration of water pythons , tree snakes & carrying 50kg bunches of bananas. I would drink 9 litres of water a day & still not need a p**s, I would be sweating that much.
The only highlight of the job was driving east down the Arnhem Highway at 6.00am watching the sun rise.
We're the WELLINGTON Phoenix

Defo Burger King, counting the meat waste with my bare hands was probably the lowlight for me there. Managers were always on my case about anything, they were also hooking up with other staff members in the office so often. one time my pay didn't go through, and it was somehow my fault. Floor out the back was covered in this thick layer of fat, just imagine someone replacing tiles with butter. Lucky I didn't have to clean up the spew though! Thank god I have an awesome job now.

Did a lot of labouring temporary work through an agency- worst job was tarsealing with a bikie. It lasted a day and we both happy to see each other go. Brushing knots out of sheepskin rugs luckily only lasted a week. There's a few more that I've blocked out of my memory.
