    I was in charge of checking the booths at a "toy" and peep store in Elizabeth Town KY when I just turned 18. I went to Ky for the summer when school let out to hang with friends. For some reason I couldn't get a job dancing there so I had to work at this skeezy sex store. It was all truckers that came in and there were glory holes! I basically had to make sure only one person at a time went in there and that the small rooms were always stocked with a roll of paper towels. I made 4.12 an hour. I was supposed to clean the rooms nightly at 1am after our "rush". I never did and got fired because of it. I can't even imagine what the fuck those rooms looked like in the light!

    I babysat a child from hell at 11. He threw random objects at me like a telephone and books. It was awful. I made a dollar an hour.

    Definitely the door-to-door job I had working for an environmental organization for two weeks (which is longer than most last). It was in February and it was so cold and dark, and terrifying to knock on strangers' doors as a shy 19 year-old. On my last day I was scolded by the super-perky hippie leader that my bad attitude was bringing the rest of the group down (I was shy and I'm not super bubbly!). One of the doors I knocked on ended up being a group of punks who invited me in to drink Pabst and watch greatest hair metal videos on MTV. I already had decided that I was quitting so I accepted and hung out there until it was time to meet back with the rest of the group. It was such a relief when I didn't go back the next day.

    I was a relay operator for the Deaf right out of college. Fun, entertaining, very weird job. I had to speak everything the Deaf person typed, in the same tone of voice they'd use if they could speak, then give a deadpan "go ahead" and type back everything the other person said. I had fights, phone sex, crazy Deaf rednecks in jail, the works. My first day on the job happened to be September 11, 2001... THAT was intense. At the job interview I had to sit across the table from a nice-looking black lady and read out a list of things like "I wish all those fucking n*ggers would go back to fucking Africa" and "This is my fourth abortion, I hate stupid babies." Weirdest job interview ever!

    I also dressed up in a horse costume once for PETA and spent the day dancing around on a busy street corner waving a big bottle of fake urine to protest Premarin. I didn't get paid for that though so it wasn't technically a job.

    Oh, I also had a regular volunteer job in high school at a shelter for homeless people with AIDS. That was really rewarding, if a little sad, but my mom made me quit when I used my finger to wipe up what I thought was cranberry juice and then it turned out someone had cut himself in the kitchen. I had to get a battery of AIDS tests for a year, but fortunately I wasn't infected. Scary.

    I've had a whole bunch, but the most random one I ever did, through a temp agency when I was living in San Francisco, was spend a few weeks going to various lookout posts throughout the city, recording the arrival and departure time of buses. All day. Truly mindnumbing.

    I worked for a CBS TV show called "Homework Hotline!" I was only 16 at the time and premise of the thing was that kids would call in asking for help with their homework and we would put the Really GOOD problems on the air so the teacher could work the problem for all the children to see...intriguing!

    Pimp. Or, receptionist at an escort agency. Basically, pimp.

    ETA: Not knocking anyone who does the receptionist thing. But it was weird, for me.

    I come from a rural background,
    Riding horses
    picking up horse poo
    driving a tip truck
    Digging out weeds
    Tractor driving
    getting naked in front of people (ha ha)
    Oh and I had an office job for about three weeks before I ran out screaming from the boredom. I know someone would have loved it because it was brain numbingly easy but all I did was sort, file and mail off accounts. AAAAARGGGH!
