my first job: I was a "recreational specialist" for a local company that puts on company picnics, but the job wasn't all too great. I had to lift a bunch of heavy picnic stuff and stand out in the sun. The worst part was the shorts we had to wear: elastic waist and mid-thigh-level in length. This was back when wearing really baggy, sagging shorts were cool. It was actually a really horrific process for me to have to go out to work in those unis. I would post the link to their site but I don't have a good enough reason to give them bad press, other than the bad uniforms which I found out they have since modernized.
my second job was at movie theatre near my house that is now an apartment complex. This job was tolerable. The best position there was when I got the theatre cleaning duties. I would have breaks for almost an hour in-between when movies let out, so I would just sit and watch the movies we had currently playing. we shared a dumpster with a barnes & noble next door and sometimes I would find discarded porn and skateboarding mags they threw away in there.
Then I became a valet and parked cars at a local Indian casino. I can turn this post into a multi-chapter novel if I start talking about this job, so I'll spare you and just tell you to never valet your car if at all possible. Just take my word on this.
After that I got to work at a local indoor skatepark. I am now convinced that this was the best job I will ever have in my entire life. All I did was hang out with friends, listen to music, watch tv/skating vids, read mags, and of course skate whenever I felt like it. I was really cool with all my co-workers there and we would cover for each other if someone wanted to go home and take a nap or pick up some food, etc...
After that I started to get into the design/web development jobs, but those really aren't worth talking about in this thread.
