The best and most exciting job I ever had as security supervisor at Sheffield College. Every day was different and I never knew what was going to happen next.

The worst I ever had was working in a pickle onion factory, lasted three weeks but couldn't get rid of the smell for about six weeks. I can't even stand to look at a jar of onions now.

My most enjoyable and worst job were both working for henry Boot. I was based near Derby and used to travel all over the country doing a variety of tasks for them, that was fun. However one job was a traffic survey count in a village near melton Mowbray, two hours in the morning and two in the evening counting rush hour traffic. The villagers were soon aware of a stranger in their midst and would drive past eyeing me up suspiciously although in a week only two of them had the courage to confront me and ask me what I was up to. The news spread that a dual carriageway was going to go through the village which made me the least popular guy in the area and conversation in the village shop would stop abruptly as soon asa I came through the door. Needless to ssay there was no dual carriageway planned and certainly not mentioned by me.

Worst would have to be working in Morrisons bakery at Ecclesfield when I was 16... I'm not an early (5.30am!!) morning person :)

Best.. Well for the job and experience, would have to be the one overseas that I've just finished.

Unfortunately I can't say what I was doing or who I was working for, but it was in Iraq :D

The worst Job doing work for a client who in the end didn't pay me despite his client paying him only to bankrupt himself soon later and restart the company under a new name.

Worst job - working in an industrial laundry. You would not believe the filthy state of underwear that needed washing. It was not uncommon to find you'd washed and dried turds. Ugh!

Best job - providng an emergency service which entailed working evenings, nights, weekends and Bank Holidays. Did it for over 20 years. Loved it!

Sausage factory in handsworth. Say no more!

Worst job: driving a fork lift truck (can you imagine me doing that?) :D Luckily my licence has now expired!

Best job: Managing a large call centre in Sheffield. Loved it, although I was regularly woken up in the middle of the night when things went tits up!

Worst Job - The Ice Cream factory near Meadowhall :gag: Things I would do to get me through College :shakes:

Best job, the one Im in now :) But thats about as much as I can say ;)

worst job: saturday job in the cafe in atkinsons. (when it used to be at the very front of the shop, rather than where it is now, down the side.)
I resigned when the manager asked me to clean between the floor tiles with a toothbrush....... I don't think so!

Current job...... well i'd give it 6 out of 10.

Worst Job: McDonalds, where I'm working part time at the moment :rant:

It's soooooo bad


Best Job: ......I'll get back to you on that lol

Worst job ever- delivering yellow pages. I had to deliver 800 of them round a posh neighbourhood near where i grew up. I got £90 but i then had to give my little sister 30 for helping and pay for petrol it took 2 days and a couple of evenings (when my parents helped for free) Never again!

Best job- Being a kids activity instuctor in wales.

Best job - placing people as volunteers and helping to train and support them

Worst job - cleaning in a very posh supermarket when I lived in Essex. Crap money and they didn't have rubber gloves so the phosphoric acid in the granite cleaner took more off my hands than off the floor.

Done yellow pages too and free papers, killed my car, my shoes and nearly me too! But then needs must when you're desperate.

Best job - well maybe not best but certainly the easiest was being paid £7.50ph by Hallam Uni to stuff envelopes, throw rubberband balls around and drink tea. All tax free as I was a student! Small wonder some unis can't afford to run their courses properly...

Worst job - tie between Dixons call centre and Halifax call centre. Absolutely soul-destroying.

My first ever job working for someone who was supposed to be a "friend of the family". I worked in stationery shop designing personalised stationery, websites, business cards. The bloke paid me £2 an hour and treated me like dirt.

One day he asked me to do a full website redesign for one of his friends and I said "Surely you can't expect me to do that for just £2 an hour?" to which he replied, "I pay you to do exactly what I tell you to do! If you don't like that you can pack your bags and leave!". I didn't say anything..... I just replied with a hand gesture and walked out.

Needless to say he's no longer a friend of the family. I heard he went to prison a couple of years later and his business went bankrupt. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke!

Worst job: Working at a hotel in Sussex. Was originally on the wait staff in restaurant but got recruited to housekeeping - 'Your job is to clean the 30 rooms in the hotel, as well as the public bathrooms'. One Sunday morning in December (i.e. party season) I spent 45 minutes scrubbing ONE cubicle in these bathrooms that let's just say on the previous night had been occupied by someone who had had WAY too much to drink. How she got it to splatter that high I really do not know... :( And I'll leave it up to your imaginations the kinds of things you find in the bridal suite the day after a wedding...

Best job: My current one. It's a receptionist position but in a PR/advertising firm which is what the degree I'm studying for is in. What makes it the ABSOLUTE best though is I have weekends off, yay!! First job since I was 15 that I haven't had to work weekends, praise the Lord.

best what i'm doing now by far,worst,stamping made in sheffield on chisels for 8 hours a day......nearly sent me over the edge..good job i got the sack.....that was in 1981 and i was on £22.50 a week.

all my jobs have been ok to me, the first one was in a hippy shop that belonged to my mum and all i ever did was try on clothes and look at all the coo stuff, got paid £30 a day

now I'm working at pizza hut where its ok but fat fat.

Worst job: being a postman. Early starts, work saturdays, really knackering lugging a heavy bag around for hours and you are bullied into doing masses of overtime.

(Zen's partner...)

Worst job was definately working as a programmer in Tring. "Yes please mr- boss, I want to work from 5 in the morning until 5 the next morning on-site in some god forsaken mill town only to get kicked out of my hotel at ten the next morning because you haven't paid the bill in months"

Zenmaster again....
Best job: Working as a note-taker for deaf students at SHU. Very rewarding and I got to learn stuff whilst I worked. Unfortunately I had to give it up as it was only part-time.

worst job - working in a sci-fi store - truly terrible.

worst job:

working in a microwave meal factory...

Day one: most of the afternoon (4pm-12pm shift) spent taking huge blocks of cheese and feeding them through an industrial size grinder in sub zero conditions, then bagging up the grated cheese and sending it next door. after dinner, stirring a vat of tomato sauce with an oar and then pouring it into crates to be sent next door.

Day two: working next door. spent 7.5 hours of my life springling grated cheese on cooked pasta as it passed by on a conveyer belt.

Day three: job centre in the morning followed by clebratory drinks all afternoon... :)

I have had some evil jobs but the worst has to be sweeping the ice with a huge brush at the ice skating rink on queens road! I can't skate so I used to go on in my flat boots and spend most of the time on my ass

Worst job - Circumcising Elephants at the Zoo. The pay was rubbish but the tips were massive.
Sorry

worst job was working for a large insurance company on eccleshall road in the callcenter. a true nightmare.

Best job: Well it wasn't really a job it was a work experience placement from school, it was 2 weeks working at Krisalis software Ltd in Rotherham, loved it as I learned all about how computer games were made.

Worst job: 3 days working at Reclaim at Wadsley Bridge, noisy, mucky, stood up all day.. And £6 a week for 3 days work?! WTF?! Granted I'm on benefits and can't earn much without the benefits dept getting funny but £6 for a week's work is beyond ridiculous IMO!

worse job i had was lugging sweets around the bassetts factory on trolleys and stacking em up, it was backbreaking work for peanuts and the management were a bunch of t.....s!!!

worst job is working at a contact centre employed by capita, or crapita as we called it

the best job was working at the fiesta nightclub

Worst job, cleaning in a pub over Christmas and New year, rest of the year wasn't very good either.

Worst job: having a salesman as a boss for the company I joined when I graduated...salesman do not, normally, make good bosses simply because it has to be a very selfish profession
Best Job: the one I have now...running my own business

Worst job: Well not sure it classes as a job as there was NO pay!. Stacking shelves and general slavery at Poundland.

Best job: Support worker for adults with learning disabilities. The best job I have ever had.

Devoid of any external light online casino in spirit much closer to those who want to win, not just to play. Maybe not so cool to click the mouse as a pinch in the institution waitresses. However, much more profitable. Here's why.

Concentration. When a player is at home, then all the distractions out of the game disappear. Nobody yells in my ear, no squealing because of its failure, not hear soothing hum. Do not circle the room beautiful girl. Do not play catchy music that

only lose, but die not shame. Of course, the house probably have a wish your drink with blood at the time of your battles with the electronic roulette. Wife or, for example, a dog. However, this is not it - because such interference is easy to handle.

Sober eyes. Spend several hours in the casino and not drink - a force not to each ulcer. After all, is itself a hike in the casino is perceived as a kind of secular outing. For people to stare and be seen. But here the atmosphere of general merriment. Relaxed atmosphere, music and free beer. And sooner or later be overthrown ryumashka. Well, all the buildings are commonplace. What to take home.

is an atmosphere of fun. No home is not pouring. A cool head, obviously, is much calculating.

Worst job - working in a Bacon factory - never again

Best job - workin for yourself

Working at Crapita! :rant::suspect::help:

Worst job. Repairing vandallised telephone boxes on sink estates. Stuckit for one day

Once worked at Corporation...God, what a hole

The worst was working in the pit and then the steelworks for a total of 25 years, lousy management, bent unions, dirty dangerous work.

The best BY FAR is the one I have got. I am a Security Guard. Clean pleasant surroundings, feel valued by my employer. Good Training,Free uniform, Pension and Medical scheme.

The best job is the one I have now but it is also one of the worst jobs because it occupies 18 of the 24 hours I have in a day.

But I still love it.

I worked in a small room pinning thousands of sheets of metal together with a spot welding machine. The room was dirty, dark and I was in complete solitude lol :-D

Delievring bread to holiday camps getting up at 0230 is mine.

Many inexperienced players believe that poker online is very different from real poker, they are partly right, but the difference is not quite the criteria on which people think. Popular opinion, which is much more difficult to read your opponent in the internet, chicshockey (http://www.chicshockey.com/) because you can not see. Few, however, realizes that to understand the opponent is not necessarily to see his face, is influenced by many other factors. "Read" an opponent is very difficult, not all players make it possible to understand them. Most relevant information comes from the way an opponent bets, position at the table and corinthsportsplex (http://www.corinthsportsplex.org/) monitor player (see the article Online Tells).

Benefits of poker on the Internet

The biggest positive of online poker is its speed and accessibility. Poker on the Internet several times faster than real poker. www.elitehouse.info (http://www.elitehouse.info/) Do not wait until the card mix, distribution is very fast, and never occur erroneous distribution. No exchanges of chips and TA. Do not trouble yourself counting the amount of sweat. Another advantage is the ability to play at multiple tables simultaneously, to increase the clock Gains. Also, the Internet, you can always find the gamblersdir (http://www.gamblersdir.info/) game you like, you can play at least 24 hours a day in the cozy atmosphere of your own home. Differences of games on the internet too great.

The advantages of the traditional offline poker

The biggest advantage of playing a real poker in that it is a social game. You can meet with his opponents face to face, it is much more fun than sitting staring at a computer. You are talking with their www.jackshobbyhouse.com (http://www.jackshobbyhouse.com/) rivals, meet new people. It's easier to stay focused on the opponent when they are to you. Just an opportunity to bite an opponent, on the basis of his gestures, you can see if he is nervous or upset because of his loss. It is easier to remember the habits of opponents, their style of play, how they play certain cards. Playing in a real casino, an experienced player immediately notice the play of his opponent.

In general, the game will be more realistic when the chips in front of you and hands you hold the cards. Even if you're an experienced player in the Internet, you most likely will be nervous, playing the first few times in real poker.

online poker
as an ameteur poker player i would advise NOT to play online .
the irregularity,s that occur are uunbelievable,
like a player calling all in 3or 4 times on the trot with cards like 29 84 a7 or the like and winning every time against aces, pairs ,i know.
small stack calling all in agaist the chip leaders and losing 99% of the time
complain and all they say , its variance and random deal. if it is random it must get stuck evey now and again. 150$ lighter to find that out
and donkey callers,all in with any two cards and winning every time
stay clear unless u are a professional it will rob u

Worst - working in weitherspoons while a student on either the morning shift with the drunks or the busy sat night shift

Best - my job now but thats all I can say

My worst job ever was canvassing for coldseal windows and doors based on queens road, the vacancy was supposed to be have been for a trainee upvc windows fitter. That is how they can easily try and rope you into canvassing these days lol. In addition to it been commission based and working god knows how many hours of the week, I stuck it for 3 days and did not go back. They did not even pay me for the 3 days I worked either, they were a right bunch of con artists. Every door you knocked on trying to persuade people to buy the windows, they would just slam the door in your face. The van that was transporting us around in, did not have any tax on it and the driver was worried about been pulled by the police.

The best job I ever had was working at laycast foundry woodhouse mill as a fettler, however it was hard graft and a very unclean place, the money was rewarding and the blokes were all hardworking and I had many laughs and fond memories there.
