I did a labouring job - backfilling a trench in america for 3 hours. Didn't get the sack just was walking down the street and asked if thy wanted any help - Was hard work with some brazillians there too - 15 bucks an hour - but he paid me sixty bucks. Not bad I suppose. Does that count?
Longest job about 24 months I suppose on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link |

Shortest, 8 months as a postman. They refused to supply me with a uniform, (which was fine :^0), because I scored 100% on the entry test and they said I would never stick it out with them. Then I was run over by one of the lorries in the parking bay driven by a lunatic, and my manager wouldn't let anyone call an ambulance or even take me home. Seemed like a good reason to quit.
Longest, 16 years as recording studio technician/ engineer/ manager which I am still am today. No where near as much money in the industry as there used to be, but I still would never give it up. Had a brilliant if somewhat surreal time. |
