My best so far has been the one I am in currently.
Ground floor business opportunity with nothing but vertical growth potential in a field that has a strong future with realatively minimal competition with a product that is the best in the market (not bragging just fact).

Worst job has to have been working at Round Table Pizza in Sonora Ca. the manager was a total bitch and her husband the pig (asshole cop) would come in and harrass me all the time. granted I was pretty strung out at the time but fuck him and her equally for making my life even more of a living hell than it was.

worst - kenny rogers roasters. even tho i had a blast because i was fresh out school, and drank beer from the tap while working. fast food as a job just sucks ass!

best - earthlink 2000-2003 got to go to work how ever i wanted, there where times where i just put on a hat and went in my pj's and slippers. we would have parties every quarter. we had beer catered for our million customer party, anytime we had a event we would have beer catered. had a kick ass car pool got loaded before work, lunch, and on the way home. awesome pay for doing nothing, and i banged so many chicks there.

Best - Pool boy at a quasi-fancy hotel. I sat around and drank, went home to fap on the clock, hung out at friends' houses on the clock, got to look at boobies, free meals for most of my college years, no responsibility whatsoever. Only payed $7.25/hr though h:

Worst - FEMA housing inspector post-Katrina/Rita. Worked 7am to 10pm (at least) 7 days a week, no breaks until I quit. Lived in my volvo for a while and "moved up" to the most disgusting motel I've ever seen. Met a bunch of loonies and hicks, met a bunch of people who were trying to take a free ride on the govt/trying to pull fraud on me. Met a bunch of people in genuine need who probably didn't get the help they needed. SE Texas sucks the big one. I did make bank though h:

worst - retail at some electronics store - Crappy pay, was getting the part time $/hr for full time hours. Decent boss got fired and the replacement was a stupid bitch that had applied for every supervisor position and been passed up. Rumor was they felt sorry for her and gave her that one. I swear she never lifted a finger, she would show up, tell us what to do/bitch at us and disappear for hours, never helped us or any customers. For comparison, the previous boss worked like one of the team, helped us, help customers.

best - Apple, kind of laid back environment, boss was very approachable, co workers were fun to bs with
or
bouncer - weak pay but the easiest job ever, got paid to hang out most of the time, the other bouncers were cool, got to see lots of boobs (flash the doorman - get in free), lots of free drinks, got to know a bunch of the local cops and they would recognize me when i was ot at the other bars and not even mess with me, apparently was in the back ground when MTV was filming Sorority Life at my bar

Worst: Taco Time I guess because it was fast food and I would smell like mexi nuggets all the time.

Best: I suppose either of my last two jobs doing websites. I got to surf the internet most of the day and do what I wanted. Not a huge fan of any of my jobs.
