Probably the worst job I've ever had was as a lab assistant for a pharmaceutical company. The glassware was full of all kinds of messy, smelly stuff that was cleaned out, run through an industrial dishwasher and re-shelved by yours truly. It was a hot, heavy, sweaty job that left me totally exhausted and often with burnt fingers by the end of the shift. The salary was awful, but it was definitely a learning experience. By the way, the show is great and now Mondays are something to look forward to!
