I worked for the bankruptcy court. It was boring.

I worked in a high-tech lab doing R&D on product and production process making biodegradable bone and cartilage implants.
Interesting and fun work. Also lots of unsupervised downtime. And no shortage of toys and chemicals to play with. Razz

Adult store manager.

(Working as a waitress now but I'd rather pretend I'm not. I hate waitressing. Can't even get a cruddy retail position in this cruddy armpit of a town.)

The very last job, well, I, ummm.... was a vacuum cleaner salesgirl (went to people's houses). Embarassed
It sucked, because I'm not the salesperson type. Really. But that helped, cause people liked and trusted me, cause I wasn't a smooth talking con-girl. It was horrid. Didn't last that long...4 months? Made good money though, and won some sales prizes.

In a call centre for the monopoly of telecommunications in Australia that is Telstra. Lucky for me it wasn't sales and I was on inbound. Collect money, reconnect phone lines... Pretty easy but really boring. And having everything monitored makes you paranoid. We would have to call in to the schedulers the exact minutes we would leave our desks to go to the toilet to keep our office's stats on point. Confused

Server in a funky old diner in Montreal. Was actually a great place to work while I was in school (and for a year after I was finished... heh) but I seriously hope to never waitress again.

I worked for a company that manufactured and retailed urological equipment. If people needed something to p1ss into or out of, I was their first point of contact.
Even though I'm not medically trained, customers were usually more than happy to give me the full details of their misfiring bladders!
