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

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.

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.

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.

I used to create the motion graphics for the Brannigans Bastards!

Yeah, having loads of bosses sucks. The last place I worked was huge, it was a big e-learning company doing maths projetcs in Flash MX for the american market. The work was due for a september launch, in August the American client said, 'we don't like the minus sign. Its too big. could you change the minus sign so we can take a look at it and see if its better?' It would mean retro fitting all the completed work.
The projects didnt get deleivered on time, I left in December. During the summer the let their design department go, 45 designers, and kept on 3 seniors.
Assmonkeys.
