S/O First job, Best job or Worst job (or both)

Hahaha, my mom had little poodles and they would go nuts when I walked in because I reeked of chocolate! But it was better than when I worked at the Birds Eye broccoli processing plant the year before, coming home totally reeking of broccoli was nasty!

Worst: Chuck E. Cheese. Where to start? It seemed pretty gross to me, and now I understand why we didn't go more as kids; a coworker constantly complained about having to spend weekends with her only child (like she was an inconvenience to her -- that poor child); oh, and having to dress up as a smelly rat. Including on my first day. One of the managers came up to me and said, "We need you to go get suited up." "I don't know what that means..." "It means you have to be Chuck E." "Oh." How I lasted there a summer break, I'll never know.

Best: I really like my job right now. I meet a lot of awesome people; the work that my coworkers and our field as a whole inspire me every day; I get to have a lot of creativity in my job (I'm the only one who's really ever held the role in the capacity that I do), so it's a big learning experience; and I'm always learning something new from the core team that I work with.

Other: DH and I worked together for about 3 years. Same school within a university, but different departments. Occasional overlap if his boss needed something and my coworkers were nowhere to be found (which happened more often than not), and everyone was expected to be hands on deck for the school's commencement ceremony. He and his boss planned that, but I always helped out. For the first few months, we were at different campus locations, but eventually he and his boss got moved to my campus, so we worked a few cubicles apart.

I was also a cashier at Office Max and Cracker Barrel throughout college and grad school; my first non-baby-sitting job was a few months at the local library.

Edit: How could I forget! I was also an RA in college/grad school for 3 years. That was an interesting job, to say the least. I had some crazy residents, helped the campus police arrest someone (sorry for the scare on that one, mom!), became fast friends with the campus cops, tried to make a difference in college kids' lives, got my first 2 semesters of grad school paid for, and met DH. Among other stories I'm sure I'm forgetting now.

Worst job: walking beans!

2nd worst job: hotel maid

Best job: I enjoyed working part time at a community college library.

Best teaching job: My current job. I teach at a middle school. I have had the same position for 16 years. It started as computer applications and has transitioned to computer science. I love the content area, and I love the age groups. Except 6th grade. 6th grade is hard.

Walking beans is walking up and down rows of soybeans removing weeds. Some people got to use a corn knife to chop weeds. I pulled weeds. We did have older guys with corn knives that would chop milk weeds that were impossible to pull. Started early in the morning. The beans were damp from dew. Jeans got soaked and itchy. Get assaulted by deer flies. Not fun. Not fun at all.
