Fun Poll: Worst/Most Interesting Job You Ever Had

Posted By: XanaX on 2008-12-05
In Reply to:

This is a question I ask people often in conversation. 


One of the worst jobs I ever had was when I was 16 working as a nurses aid at a nursing home.  Back then, in 1980, minimum wage was $2.85, but since I was working thru my high school for work experience credits, they could pay us .50 less an hour, thus $2.35 an hour.  When a patient would die, I would have to ready the patient for transport to the morgue.  So, I used to wash dead bodies for $2.35 an hour.  Only one of the layer's of my odd personality...


One of my favorite jobs was when I was 19 and worked as a cab driver.  Now that was fun; like knowing the true pulse of the city, where everything was happening and what was going on.  Many stories go along with that, helping a lady of the night trick clients, a fumbled robbery attempt where I ended up with the crook's wallet instead after beating him with a tire iron --- now that was a truly interesting era in my work career...

Here's a new poll for ya...
Let's get down to the nitty gritty and be honest....Bras or no bras while working from home....javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');

Can I do a little poll
For those of you who have been so unfortunate to go through an M/C or a termination, could you tell me how long it took to get a period after the M/C or termination, and also how far along you were in that pregnancy?

Just curious here. The doctor said 4-6 weeks, and I'm really hoping my body will cooperate!

to poll
Why didn't you give your opinion of Europeans?

BTW, most of us have European ancestors. That's a no brainer.

And it did look like you were picking a fight. I'm glad no one fell for it.
Pet owner poll: sm

Do any of you feel that the monthly one-spot flea and tick preventions are hazardous to your pets' health?


Between my best friend and me, we had 6 dogs.  Since June, 3 of them developed cancers, 2 of whom died.  The common denominator is Frontline.   Her dog was only 4, and my 2 were 10 and 8.   Her dog had a leiomyosarcoma.  Mine had squamous cell sarcoma and the other had undifferentiated giant cell sarcoma.  We both live in Florida where fleas and ticks can be a big problem.


Two other friends claim they don't give their dogs these preventatives because they were told they were poisonous to dogs, the advice coming from holistic vets. 


What are your thoughts and experiences, and where do you live? 


Thanks.


 


Poll: How many of you have a My Space?
I do.
Ok, lets take a poll, how many out there
EVER saw any evidence prior to today of her shaking, trembling, picking at bugs in the air, whatever -NEVER. Let her get some medical help through the court system.
I do Harris Poll
They give you points for surveys and you can spend them on whatever you want. I've gotten a weed whacker and a walkman...I think a couple other things as well.
Poll questions...

1.  What ages are your kids?


13 and 8 (boy/girl).



2.  Do they have their own cell phone?


13-year-old just got cell phone last September.  8-year-old does not have one.  He's been responsible with the cell phone, and I like him having it in case I need him right away as he skateboards a lot outside with his friends in the neighborhood.



3.  Do they have their own TV and or computer in their room?  If so, are there set hours they're allowed to use these:

Both of my children have TVs in their room.  They watch it mostly in the evening hours when they are settling down for bed.  The computer they use is centrally based and my husband mainly monitors that one with the parental controls.

4. Do they receive an allowance?  If so, are they required to do chores to receive this?


They do not get a regular allowance.  I'm fortunate in that they really don't ask for much as they get what they want for their birthday or Christmas.  However, I will on occasion get them something special if we are out and about "doing my deliveries" and they are with me.  My son has to take care of the trash throughout the house twice a week.  My daughter has no chores.  I want them to focus on school and just being kids.  I was made to do chores from the time I was 5 due to my mother's legs (she had severe arthritis), and I was not always allowed to go places for this reason.  I figure in due time they'll have their own homes.  They watch me and will help if asked, but have no specific chores to do. 


Poll answers
1. What ages are your kids?

15 and 7 (girls)

2. Do they have their own cell phone?


15-year-old does, 7-year-old no.

3. Do they have their own TV and or computer in their room? If so, are there set hours they're allowed to use these:

Neither one has a TV in their room. They share a computer that is located in a place where we can monitor them. They ask permission before getting on and are usually allowed to be on for no longer than hour. Homework has to be finished first though.

4. Do they receive an allowance? If so, are they required to do chores to receive this?

Yes both receive monthly allowances. Yes, they have chores they must do to earn their allowance.
Oldest daughter (15) gets $100 a month, 10% goes to church and 10% goes to savings. The rest is hers to budget for lunch, entertainment, and clothes.

Youngest daughter (7) gets $10. Same deal as the older one -- 10% goes to church and 10% goes into savings. What is left is hers to spend (usually a Webkinz or will save up for a new Nintendo DS game).

Answers to poll
Favorite job: Being a staff writer on a weekly newspaper in Princeton, NJ. Did not pay well, but I got enough to live and have pocket money, pay rent, etc. Got to meet a lot of interesting people and interview. My stories ran in the paper, and my job was very flexible, I was single and worked all kinds of hours. Those days I actually lived a dream because I was not in it for money. Or, I should say I made enough to be happy and my job made me happy too.

Worst job was when I was an artist painting faces at Disney in Florida. I thought it would be great. It was the hardest job I ever had. I only lasted 1 day and worked 12 hours and did not even get paid because I was a temp and I did not return after the 1 day. It was a million degrees outside, it seemed (I just moved to Fla from up north), and I never sat down or even had a glass of water in all those hours. I had to smile 110% of the time (that is actually a rule at Disney, you could get in trouble for frowning), and the tourists always wanted more (I know they paid for it, but the line was really long and I only was allowed to spend so much time on each person). This was indeed a dream job, but truly the most difficult job I ever had, and therefore my least favorite.
It's the Thursday Fun-Poll !!!! YAY!

       Let's see how alike or different we all are!


Chronological Age:  55


Physical Age:  30


Emotional Age:  12


What State:   CA


How you like being an MT:     Eh, it's [barely] a living. 


What you like/dislike about it:   I like to type, but I hate being poor.


Favorite Food:   Hamburgers.


Favorite Spectator Sport(s):   Figure skating.


Most fun you ever had in your life:   Exploring London & Oslo on foot.


One of your worst experiences:   Breaking my leg at the top of the mountain while skiing, and having to hop all the way down on one leg because the ski-patrol blew right by me, and didn't even stop to help. 


Funniest experience:  Getting my fanny-pack caught in a chairlift seat at Squaw Valley, and going clear around the bullwheel before the stoned-out liftie realized what was wrong.   Then, mortified, having to jump 6 or 8 feet to the ground while the liftie & others laughed.  (Find paper bag.  Cover head with it.  Ski away fast!)


Best pet you ever had:   A dog-pound dog I adopted in 1973.  She was my sidekick for 4 years, before getting killed by a car.  She understood English, so you had to s-p-e-l-l  some things in her presence.  She was psychic - always knew what I was thinking.  She went everywhere with me:  Hikes, horseback rides, long car trips, motels, other people's houses, the Renaissance Faire, art shows, concerts, etc.  My mom considered her to be my sister.


Funnest job you ever had:   I was a temp for Kelly Girl, and got to work for 2 weeks at an architect's firm located high in the mountains above Malibu Beach.  Lots of young, cute guys worked there.  Every day at lunch, we all changed into shorts, set up a volleyball court in the parking lot, and played volleyball for an hour! 


Weirdest job you ever had:   Worked (also as s temp) at a toilet-factory in Van Nuys.  The people there were all so high-drama about that place, that I had to stifle giggles more than a few times.  I also used to do saddle-repairs and bridle-making.  Also got paid to drive motor homes for people who were scared to drive them.

I cook / don't cook because:   If God had intended for me to cook, I would've been born with Teflon hands.

Who did you look up to as a kid or teenager?    One of my horseback-riding instructors.  Not only taught us kids how to ride, but she also took groups of us on field trips to places like the Art Museum, the Ballet, historial spots in the city, movies, miniature golf, concerts, the 4th of July fireworks, etc.  She practically raised some of us.


Did you pass the 1st time you took your driver's test?   No.  I forgot to look over my left shoulder when changing lanes, and he flunked me for that.  I was sooooo embarrassed, I didn't go back to re-take it for several months!


Do you text when you drive?   Haha.... I can't even text when I'm sitting in the living room!  Them little buttons is 'way too small for me........


What you hope to see in your lifetime:   Solar-powered EVERYTHING... houses, cars, even airplanes.  (yeah, right...)    Switzerland.  Mount St. Helens.  Paris.  Another Olympic in-person.  (Went to summer 1984 in Los Angeles... it was just TOO much fun!)   The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in person.  Death Valley.  Burning Man.  Australia & New Zealand.  Spain.  Ireland.  A tornado (from a safe distance).  And....!   MT becoming a good-paying job again someday.


Worst pain you ever felt:   A couple of real doozer, 3-day migraines.  Yes, those were even worse than my broken leg! 


How you treat a really bad mood:   I avoid other people if possible.  Stay inside all day and watch lots of daytime "trash-TV" shows.  Buy a gallon of chocolate-chip-cookie-dough ice cream, and polish that puppy off in one sitting.  Spew a little on Craigslist's "Rants & Raves" board.  Bake a few million cookies.  Go for a very long drive, hike, skate, or bike ride.  And....double up on the Prozac

Sure am glad this forced me to stop the cigarettes -- 18 days smoke free now.


 



Poll time ....do you exercise? sm
I make sure that I walk at least 1 mile 3 times a week.  It's not as much as I should exercise but it beats nothing.  What about you?
Fun poll: What's for dinner tonight? sm
I know, I know, it's early but I tend to think about it early. Last night I was in a rush. I had one of those Hormel pork tenderloin rolls out to thaw. You can get them at the store for about 6-7 bucks. Different flavors, lemon and garlic, teriyaki, mesquite, etc. I had the teriyaki one.  I cooked it different this time though. I wrapped it real tight in foil. Then, in one of those throw away foil pans,  I put in 2 packages of hash browns, 2 sticks of butter and seasoned it with Mrs. Dash and covered it real tight with foil, too. Then, I took some left over carrots and some stewed Italian tomatoes and put them in foil and wrapped it real tight. Then, I took the whole shebang and put it on the grill and cooked it all on medium to high with the lid closed, turning the potatoes frequently. It was ready in 45 minutes. We sat down to eat.  There were 3 of us, me, hubby and boy wonder #3. We thought we died and went to heaven. First time in ages the whole meal went in one shot. Gosh, it was so good. Tonight were going to have a turkey breast on the grill. Can't wait......   
I just heard a poll on the radio the other day
that said Blazing Saddles was the all time #1 guy movie. When Harry met Sally won for all time #1 chick flick. I liked B-S when I was younger but don't think I would want to sit through it now.
Orange tabby poll
I have had a couple of orange tabbies that were male also. Hmmm ... others out there?

The worst one yet (sm)

DS first grade teacher, teaching them the difference between their, there, and they're.  Had them copy sentences off the board, something about daffodils, and it said, "they're little petticoats in the breeze" or something like that.  I called her on it, and she was nasty to DS the whole rest of the year (not kidding).


That's not the worst
She told me that she knew I had been trying to have an affair with her husband (yuk and ewww! - oh is that anything like shock and aww. Ha Ha), She said she knew what my game was etc, etc., oh yes...and I should go back to my home state where "my kind" belongs. All the meantime with her finger pointed in my face. She is much larger and stronger than I am and I was too shocked beyond words to comprehend what was happening. She also stood leaning against the door so I had no way out. It was a nightmare. It took me 4 months before I stepped foot in her place again or said a word to her. Slowly we became on good speaking terms. Never did trust her after that. Now we get along okay. I eventually forgave her (she was having her problems), but I wish someone had spoken up on my behalf. I did learn at that time that blood is thicker than marriage (unless you are lucky to have a partner that loves you so much they would do anything to keep you from being hurt). Anyway...I have moved on and don't think about it as often but there are still some times when it is in my mind and it does hurt, but gotta move on.
my worst was 25

Absolute worst was my 25th...my stepmom died from an aortic aneurysm.  She had just gone up to change clothes for dinner and we found her dead within 5 minutes. I think dinner stayed in the oven for 3 days afterward and I have never eaten stuffed shells again.  I haven't liked birthdays since.  As my dad said at the hospital, Happy F-ing Birthday, and he was not one to curse. 


But, a better one was for me was 29 as I got a belly button piercing in memory of my cousin and met my DH on that birthday.  Now I just try to ignore them, though 40 is rapidly approaching and I find myself feeling stuck in a rut...work to pay the bills and for gas, eat, sleep, and do it all again the next day.  I wish I could go back to 21 and do it all over again!!


Worst best man ever?
//
Worst job..(sm)
Sonic rollerskater girl.  I just didn't know how to rollerskate.  There were a few accidents...LOL.
Poll time... if your 15-year-old daughter....sm

has a paper due at school that was assigned a week ago, she procrastinated and didn't start writing it until the afternoon before the due date and didn't type it up until 11 p.m. at night, then knocked on your door to wake you up because she realized there was no printer printer would you:


A.  Get dressed and go to the 24-hour Wal-Mart to get paper.


B.  Tell her that it's too bad- she should have done her paper sooner than this and alerted you before 11 p.m. that there was no printer paper - especially when she has gone through a whole ream within a month printing out things like rock band and television star photos and other nonessential things.


(For the record - my husband & I did option B to help her learn a "life lesson" last night - she'll get a reduced grade for turning in the paper late but hopefully she'll learn to stop procrastinating on her school work - which is a chronic problem with her - even with her getting A's and B's.)


Dancing with the Stars poll: Who is gonna win??
I vote for Apolo!!!
Poll: What do you spend your entertainment money on?

nm


Poll: What's your ultimate favorite dessert.
Dark chocolate ganache covered wafers with chocolate truffle filling, drizzled with raspberry sauce and topped with fresh raspberries and gold leafing.
POLL:What show are you looking forward to this fall?

I just Netflixed the first season of Friday Night Lights and I am HOOKED! What a wonderful show.  I can't wait for that to start.


Also, looking forward to Gray's Anatomy, but hoping for a much lighter season this fall.  Last year was such a drag after the first two.


Poll: short reports or long ones?

which do you prefer?


 


I like short ones myself, I get bored with the long ones.


Poll time: What is the best vacuum cleaner out

We are talking hoses, cords, bagless, baggy, bulky, suctiony, heavy, you name it.  I am looking for the perfect vacuum!  Just moved from a house with central vac and I am going to miss it!!!


 


Thanks!!!


POLL: Are we headed for a recession/depression?
Do you think we are headed there or already there.  Some people have told me they think it is going to get really bad like during the great depression.  opinions?
Churches are the worst.
I have more people trying to convert me to whatever they are come by my house uninvited than I do people I know. Now I open the door, tell them I'm happy where I am, I'm happy for them that they are happy where they are and that I'm working and can't be disturbed. Then I shut the door. I actually don't go to church anymore. Pretty disgusted with the whole idea really lol.

In your case, I wouldn't let them in. I think they are being extremely rude to you.
Worst one I have ever endured was...sm
At a psychiatric facility - a dictator actually dictated in the bathroom stall while having a bowel movement... actually grunted and laughed into the dictation equipment (hand-held obviously), and then finished his "big job" and then flushed on tape. I complained to the MedRec Dept head, she approached him about it, and we actually referred to him as "the Royal Flush" after that when we got his dictation...Needless to say, we didn't enjoy his transcription or his surprises. He's a big psychiatric research guy here now. Sheesh. ICK indeed. What are they thinking?!!
WHAT?! Some of the worst criminals...
at least money-wise, as in stealing church money and money from little old ladies, are the big time evangelists on TV!! Do you think these people have "lack of God"?? I personally think it's lack of values/morals in this country (and other countries of course) that cause people to commit crimes, and of course lack of conscious! It has absolutely nothing to do with lack of God! I can't count how many times I've seen news reports where people commit a crime and everyone that knew them said what a great person they are and how shocked they were that they committed the crime - plus, a lot of these people go to church and actually believe in God and it still doesn't phase them to commit the crimes. I don't know, maybe it's because they believe in God that makes them think God will save them or forgive them, so it's okay to commit the crimes?? I'm not an atheist, I just live in the same town at Pat Roberts and where that whole network of his is located and I'm sick of these people living like kings with their multi-milliion dollar homes, helicopters, vacation homes, etc., while there are people in our country that are homeless, without insurance, and starving - I'm sorry but I don't think this is the Christian way to behave and I'm sick of people saying that God is the answer to everything! I really don't think this has anything to do with why these people commit crimes.
What's the worst that can happen; you buy a new one?
I have heard people clean them by running them under the shower and letting them dry in the warm outside air. I'm going to try it, I have a backup cheapie to use if it gets ruined and I have to buy a new one.
My worst Thanksgiving
I remember the date well.  It was Thanksgiving of 1978.  I had made the Thanksgiving meal and had invited friends.  We were living in Wisconsin away from family.  Well, some friends and I were putting the last minute touches on the meal, when I heard my dog going crazy outside.  I opened the door and in she came, smelling horribly of SKUNK!  Needless to say no one could eat anything, as the house just "STUNK OF SKUNK". 
We did the worst Thanksgivings - how about the best?

My best one was 15 years ago.  My daughter was born the night before Thanksgiving and we were ready to go home on Thanksgiving day. 


My parents were having dinner at their house and a ton of extended family over who were all excited to see the new baby.   We went over there (yes, before I had even gone home yet) for a couple of hours. 


My husband's parents were also having a big family gathering at their place, which was closer to our house.  They all wanted to see the new baby too so we went over there for a few hours too. 


I was exhausted but it was still fun.  Mom and baby were discharged from the hospital at 10 a.m. and didn't make it home until around 10 p.m. that night.  The other kids were tired so they let mom and baby go right to bed without a fuss and dad went back to his folks for the holiday family poker match.


No one can be a worst cook than me
My husband asks me to stay out of the kitchen as he says, he and I both want to stay healthy! Ok, I do have a previous thingy I just made up, call it Spanish porkchops. How simple is this - I put a family size container of pork chops plus 2 cans of canned tomatos plus 2 large onions all together and cook over medium until the chops are done and tender- oh, I forgot the salt and pepper- but anyway that is something even I can do and I love it but then again I love tomatoes and we eat them all the time.
what is the worst song ever?
This was on our local news this morning.

My first thought was "Help me Rhonda" by the Beach Boys. Seasons of the sun is right up there for me also.

What's your 'worst song ever'?

worst song?
I have always hated "You light up my life". That was so popular years ago they played it constantly. To this day I want scream when I hear it.
worst thing ever huh? (okay almost)
I'm sorry I don't have suggestions because mine was due to my severe sinusitis as well as the prednisone I was on. You would never think that losing your taste would matter... but having to eat food, just to eat it and taste NOTHING... I tell you what, i dont take the small things for granted anymore :) (of course there were things i was happy not to taste and/or smell... nasal spray was one of them, because i knew my senses were back after using that one day and gagging!!!)

this is actually the worst, I quote:
