When did you work there? I worked there a few years ago...well like 5 or so. Deffinately one of the cooler jobs I have had.



Let's see. I worked there in high school. Summer of 03 maybe? My boss was Patterson I think. When I got there they had just hired a new guy that was above us. I can't remember his name. It started with a G and he talked funny. Like A ( feriner) That's all I can remember. Josh was a guy with a mo-hawk that was our supervisor.

It was a best job. Hours weren't the best. It was 8-6 or 5-1 am. I drove 30 miles one way. That late to early shift wasn't fun. But we were paid ok and I enjoyed it. Computer work was all it was.

My favorite memory about that job. I use to sit by a bud of mine and we were pretty good/fast at what we did. We use to talk a lot and laugh but we got our work done. Our supervisor towards the end of the summe became cranky and started giving us a hard time and basically told us that we didn't do any work and blah blah blah.
Well the last day of work the management came in with all our numbers, total pictures completed and accuracy percent. My supervisor completed 800+ pictures with a 97% accuracy while I completed 1200 pictures with 98% accuracy rate. So the last time I shook his hand I happened to say, maybe you should of quit talking and worked a little more. Keep in mind this guy was a year older than me and was summer help as well. None the less I enjoyed those numbers.

Best Job: I am a youth minister and love it. Got a group of kids that are really cool most of the time. It can be the most rewarding job in the world or the worst job in the world.

Worst Job: City tore down a old building in my town and wanted to save the bricks. I had to stack them and chip off the old morter. I should have known it was gonna be tough when they would not let the prisoners do it because it was to hard of labor.

Coolest: Bouncer in Hattiesburg while in college. Learned alot of valuable lessons and met alot of fine girls. Plus, fighting someone who is drunk is kinda funny.

Best job = farmed when I was 13-17….it was effin awesome and thought that’s what I wanted to be

Worst job = washed dishes for 4 days at a restaurant by hand…..One Friday night cups started coming back because peoples drink tasted like soap. Lmao I was just dipping them in soapy water and letting them dry….Ohhhh the nasty sheet I did.

Wish my best job was my current one like everybody else but my boss sucks ace and I dream about pirates holding him hostage and other crazy sheet. I have no idea why people under 5’ have such big egos especially when they are around tall people like me 6’6”……efffin jealousy I guess…..Also is it some rule when you become a senior project engineer that you no longer have to do a effin thing such as read, do math, know wtf is going on, etc. etc????? If so I can’t effin wait to be one instead of a effin design engineer. I mean I could be great at playing a dumbace all day. Sorry for the rant...fml

My best job is every summer getting to go cut hay for my Dad. I really like the change of pace. Worst job was when I was running a Terra Gator 7 days a week from 5am to 10pm a couple of years ago. The coolest job is what I do now. I take 50 pizzed off passengers, jam them into a 7 foot diameter aluminum tube and hurl them across the sky at 8/10ths the speed of sound. :mrgreen:

Best/Coolest- Easyway, it was my first bona fide weekly paycheck job. I was a stocker, veg and fruit preper, cart boy, ect. My boss was a cool dude, kinda of a perv, liked to joke around. I told him of some good lookin wimen I went to school with that needed jobs and he basically hired em on the spot. :lol: We had the best lookin cashier staff in town.

Worst- Intramural Field Crew @ MSU- Every afternoon we were dragging, chalking, watering, shoveling, and tamping 4 softball fields. Painting bases everyday. Then painting flag football and soccer fields. Then there was popping weeds on the warning tracks with a hand tool that was probably used @ Parchman at one point and time. WE had a awful drainage problem. The dirt off of the field would wash onto the concrete so we'd have to shovel that up and dump it in the ditches that washed outta the warning tracks.
