What was the worst job you ever had?

Back in the 90s, I was the guy who handed Hillary Clinton her throwing-lamps.

Very dangerous job. She had lousy aim.

Prior to that, I was in the Navy, and this is more a task than a job, but painting the bilge. It’s slimy, messy, smelly, constricted, and you don’t want to know that things that will rub off on you in the process.
