Favorite: Working construction for my dad. It was phsically demanding but we spent a lot of time together and he taught me a lot.

Least Favorite: This is a tie between working at a call center (had someone threaten to behead my kids once) and working at a funeral home where I had to dig up a body that had been buried for 20 years. I can still smell the stench to this day.

Favorite:

Summer landscaping for a school system. Something around 7 schools, work at one school per day and simply rotate all summer long. By the time we finished the 7th school it was time to start at the 1st school.

It didn't hurt that we all had girlfriends working at the schools as counselors for the summer programs.

Worst:

Small 3 person advertising agency. Just an awful sense of desperation when things were rough and an odd sense that I was funding someone else's overblown lifestyle when things were going well. "Yes boss enjoy your long weekend in the Keys, do you remember two month ago when my paycheck bounced???"

Loved turning in the two weeks notice.
