    Lol, I can do office work, just not the ones that require skills. I do strategy now.

    Back in high school, I worked at Hollywood Video and Finish Line. Neither were bad.

    I was hired to pick up dog doo doo at bigtexxx's mansion in the River Oaks. It was rather demeaning and lowly work, but the pay was good. I did it for two years. Now I'm retired.

    Installer for Dish Network . Typical day they would schedule you with 12+ hours of work plus 200+ miles of driving . Customers were a PITA and wanted everything for free and the supervisors always on your ass about something you had nothing to do with .

    I had the same exact experience except it was Domino's coupons and not office supplies. I stuck it out for 2 weeks because I was so desperate and hadn't been able to get literally any other leads and/or offers. I never sold a thing, and as a result I got paid a big fat zero. As has been noted, "marketing" is a code word for "door-to-door sales."

    Second worst job wasn't so much the job but the company itself. It was a small-time ad agency that built all those big ads for car dealerships that show up in the Chronicle. It sucked because the owner's idiot dumbass stoner son would sleep in the office all night and be found sleep-hiding under the desks when we opened, and my paychecks always bounced.

    The above represents only a small part of what was the darkest point in my life also known as 'recent college graduate.'

    Installing roof insulation. A horrible job. Didn't help that I was working with an idiot too. Took me three days before I told him what I thought of him, his mates, his future prospects and where he could put the job too.
