Your mission: answer the question in the comments with a good story.
If you don’t have a good story, you are encouraged to make one up.
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.
Sorta like working for Hillary Clinton.
Fracking in the Texas oilfield. No big story to tell other than “I HAD A FRACKING HEAT STROKE”?
What was the worst job you ever had?
Well there was this blonde in Cleveland…
As I finished up my Air Force career my last assignment was my worst ever. Worst commander, worst junior officers, worst senior NCO’s. I was even selected to be promoted to E-8 but turned down the promotion so I could retire. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not sorry I went in, or stayed in, but I’m also not sorry I retired when I did.
