Being old enough to have started work in the 60s when jobs were plentiful, I've been lucky. Brought home to me by the guy who block pavioured our drive - it was persisting down with rain, and SWMBO asked him to come in for a cup of tea. "No thanks, I'll just keep on with the job". SWMBO "Don't you find it awful working in this weather?" Paviour layer "Yes, but it's better than my last job teaching O-level maths in the local school"...............
Whats the most stupid job you've ever had?

A guy I worked with was sent by the foreman on a road construction site to get a packet of cigarettes. Any chance to make the stretch a 10min. tea break was seized eagerly so Duncan duly inquired what brand he was to get. 20 Embassy, came the reply. What if they haven't got Embassy? says D. Oh, anything else will do. says the boss.
He wasn't at all pleased to be presented with a steak and kidney pie.
