Yes, I really had that job, in Greeley Colorado it was the only porno shop. Most of the job was sitting behind the counter and selling tokens for the booths. I only mopped up at the end of the night.
There was a mother and daughter who would sometimes work as nude dancers there, when it was slow they would hang around smoking and talking about tv shows... There was a doberman behind the counter with us, and one day a hail storm, with hailstones the size of grapefruits made a huge noise on the roof. The doberman freaked out from the noise and was snapping at everyone, bit me on the hip, and that's when I finally quit.
It was a sad place, but I did get to read a lot of novels.The Sears warehouse was just as sad, with the same sense of life going to waste.

Its kinda scary to see what other people are doing or have done in the past. Some really manky jobs out there people!
I dunno if arthur wins, nuggler seems to have done a truly disgusting job.

No, it was in Redwood City, I was living in Berkeley at the time. I forgot to mention that I had to commute over an hour each way to get to this miserable job. So my workday was normally 14 hours long.

Arthur, I think you win the worst job award. Was that in Oakland?
Awesome portfolio, you seem to enjoy your present occupation.

I worked at a gasoline refinery right next to a car-smashing plant. The fuzz from the car upholstery would get in my eyes and throat. My boss was bipolar. I worked 4 12-hour shifts per week: 2 of 6am-6pm and 2 of 6pm-6am. I had to listen to bible-thumping truckers all night long and I reeked of gasoline all the time, it was in my skin. My only co-worker ate brain burritos every day and told me how tasty sqirrels were. Whenever I blew my nose it was black. When I quit that job I had to throw away all of my clothes because the gasoline smell wouldn't come out.

Some of the bad ones:
mopping up the private booths at a porn shop
graveyard shift at a Sears warehouse, where everyone was supposed to just pretend to be working
putting things into cardboard boxes on an HP assembly line
etc etcOreos are bad for you: http://www.mindfully.org/Food/20…
