best job...I've loved just about all my jobs...camp counselor, ski instructor, helpdesk coordinator, system designer, taekwondo insructor, lifegurad, implementation & design specialist, computer consultant, programmer, violinist in 3 professional orchestras, notary!
worst job...I tried to wait tables at a pizza place in Hanover, NH....quit the second day and I also tried to work at a Midas in Oneonta, NY but the owner was a jerk so I told him how he could be a better person so he might be able to keep his people then told him good luck on finding a replacement until he can speak nicely to others. (Treat others how you want to be treated!!! ) Think he went out of business not too long after that.
