Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hehehehe, a good topic.

Let's start with the worst: Last year I worked a temp job at a medical insurance company. After a month, I took all my stuff off my desk and simply ran out. I had literally NO idea what I was supposed to do. The job was sapping my self-esteem, and I basically felt like an idiot every second of every day. Standing up and walking out was the best decision I made because I needed to remind myself that the job did not own me, and I was free to leave. ((Though I do not reccomend walking out on a job just for shits and giggles. This was the only time I've ever done that, but it was a bridge that I could fully accept the concequences for burning)).

Now the best job: Last year, for two days I assisted a couple of casting guys from MTV's "The Call" (or "The Phone" or something). These two guys my sister knew were casting for this reality show, and they needed an assistant to handle the applicants in the lobby while each one went in for their interviews. It was fricken awesome. I basically got paid to chat with reality show hopefuls, and I got to read the weird answers that they had written on their questionares. Best $200 I ever made xd

Worst work experience - Getting ripped off by my boss...who didn't pay me the 3 hundred dollars I was owed.

Best work experience - I'll just go with meeting God at Walmart. Hard to top that.

Thank you!



Dang, I don't think I would have even had the guts to be that sporadic. Yeah sometimes the corporate hole has just too much of a grip.

Hah that sounds like a good job. I generally don't like reality shows, but that's an awesome pay for it.

I would have pleaded the case of the time error with the boss man. If you had the sheet that was given to you that should have been enough proof of why you were late. I think that really sucked and that the other woman was simply insecure. xp

Once I was accused of being part of Al Qaeda and bringing the twin towers down. I wouldn't call this my best or worst experience at work, but it's definitely one I will never forget.

Best: My intership at this public preschool. Even though they didn't have a lot of funding or hi tech stuff. They loved all the students there and all the kids were warm and friendly. It didn't take long for me to make deep impacts to them. By the end of my intership even the shy ones would run up and hug me first chance they got. It was funny cause they would forget to tell their parents goodbye.

Worst: They were privately owned "preschool" and it showed. It's was just an overrated day care. They didn't care for any of the kids and didn't even help children with learning or behavioral issues. They kept allowing this one five year old to kick stuff and they would just send him to the directors office. All she told him that one day he will break his foot and they will laugh at him. stare Also, since I was bounce between different rooms I didn't really get to bond with any of the students... oh and every Friday they would just watch TV instead of reviewing what they learned so far or learn something new. It was just a baby factory.

My best work experiences were always when working with people and helping them out with a problem. For some reason I am a people person but most of the time I prefer to be alone, ironic.

My worst wrok experiences would have to be when dealing with people younger than me, usually teenagers, that are think headed and think they are industructable and that the world revolves around them. Can't stand those kids, and considering I work with them every weekend I am surprised that I still have any sanity yet or that I haven't knocked one out, hehe that would be fun... twisted
