A bunch of Stranger writers have had funny-horrible jobs before, and this week a bunch of us wrote about them. Granted, plenty of people have had way worse funny-horrible jobs than we have, including this unregistered commenter posting as Phil Collins:
I spent a summer working odd jobs at a temp agency. jobs I had included painting the insides of ATM’s – actually not painting anything, just masking off parts that weren’t supposed to be painted – for 10 hours a day. Then I worked in the freezer of an ice cream factory, stacking pallets of ice cream, in a fucking FREEZER. The only other person working in my area was some meth addict who drank Steel Reserve on his lunch break. Then I finished off that summer hand washing about a hundred RV’s at some huge mega dealership.
Now I can’t not picture Phil Collins painting the insides of ATMs. And Phil Collins hanging out in a freezer with a meth addict. And Phil Collins hand-washing a hundred RVs. And you? What’s the worst job you’ve had?
