    Gosh, some of you have had some amazing advenures and cool jobs!

    It is hard for me to really say, but I guess in highschool was when I was still having "fun" at work. My 2nd job was at a little video store/marble slab ice cream store. We watched movies (using a VCR, lol) and made milkshakes and ice cream sundaes for people. I liked mixing up my own special creations for the milkshakes. And then after that I worked as a cashier at a grocery store. The work itself wasn't really fun, but you got to talk to all sorts of people and usually your co-workers were also classmates, so we always had a good time.

    As a corpsman (medic) in the military. It really was fun once you pushed aside all the BS you had to deal with from time to time from the brass. I got to see all KINDS of funky stuff! Our hours were awesome too...be at work at 6, leave at 2.

    When I was in college, I actually worked as a deckhand on the back deck of a fishing charter boat. I got to wear that bikini ALL day, every day, in the sunshine and got to drink a beer or two while doing it! Plus I got to catch fish! Bonus, I got paid, WELL.

    I'm currently thinking my job now is the best!!!
    I have great co-workers... you know they types that make you want to come to work!!
    I get free clothing samples all the time!!

    Absolutely NO STRESS!!!
    My boss is super laid back... even answers his own phone most of the time.
    Yesterday I watched "New Girl" episodes while on my "lunch break"...
    The pay is great!! The commute isn't to bad!
    Hmmm, what else... oh yeah, I'm kind of in charge of most things...lol!

    I seriously almost pinch myself at some point during the day... because I can't believe how lucky I am to have this job!

    My position: I'm the administrative assistant to the VP of buying for a major department store...

    Fun?

    I worked front desk for a small hotel, it was a serious dive, that had a tavern and a bar.
    They brought in bands, country for the tavern, rock for the bar, as well as strippers during week nights, male and female.
    This was in an oil town, during a boom.

    I would have to say my job right now. I am a social worker and I work with the most insanely perverted and inappropriate group of weirdo's ever!!!! I make very little money for the degree that is required for the job, but I have been here 4 years and dont think I will leave any time soon!!!

    Whre I am right now.

    The task I do is redundant and boring BUT the guys I work with make the job amazing. 5 guys who over the last 3 years have become big brothers to me.

    I'm divorced and live across the country from my family so they are always willing to help (moving heavy stuff, helping carry furniture into the apartment, helping diagnose my car and suggesting honest mechanics..etc).

    We laugh.. ALL day at work and it makes the job so fantastic.

    Managed a Doggie Daycare/Boarding [lace for a couple years. Most fun I have ever had at work. Could be in a bad mood before I got to work, and be in a great mood by the time I had been there an hour. Yeah, it was a dirty, smelly, furry, full of poo (literally) job, but never have I had any clientele as happy to see me as I did there!

    I worked for 3 summers on a maintenance crew for the National Park Service - 2 summers at Shiloh National Military Park in west Tennessee, and 1 summer at Cape Lookout National Seashore on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I also lived for 3 years in the Great Smoky Smoky Mountains National Park, on the Tennessee side. For the summers I worked my butt off, but it was loads of fun. And I taught environmental education to 5th and 6th graders in the Smoky Mtns.

    Having the National Parks as my back yard..... Priceless!

    Bartender for some of my 20s. It had it's frustrating moments - like dealing with one of the town drunks who enjoyed grossing out other patrons by removing his fake eye and rolling it around on the bar (SO unsanitary) - but for the most part it was pretty fun and paid well.
