worst job EVER?

Well I can't exactly call it my worst job as if I am comparing it to others due to the fact that I never had another income other than my skimpy Jamba Juice checks. Having worked there for about a year, I think that I got a pretty good feel for what the company was about, how it was run, and the type of people that portrayed the ideal jamba leader image. Customer service is the worst type of job there is, hands down...I'm convinced. A year of screeching blenders, non slip shoes, and having to deal with freakin' ridiculously stupid customers and orders is enough to scare any teenage boy into striving for a university education and a future job that pays more than $10 bucks an hour. It was for me. Having read Ehrenreich's article tonight, I couldn't find anything more fitting to this week's prompt. In my time at yamba yuce did encounter many people that greatly surpassed my meak 16 years of age doing the same work as I did. For many, money is hard to come by and no form of work rests beneath them. I hope to avoid a career in customer service and/or food when I'm out and working, but I can say that I am experienced in the field. Food for thought I guess. While I may have bitched and moaned my way through that year, it did provide me with an unforgettable introduction into the world of working for wages. I'm sure that everyone in the world has a horror story to tell about their first job. Maybe thats just how life is. Maybe not.
