Crazy/fun place you ever worked. what age and why.

Worked for a dive hotel that had a club which had male and female strippers, who stripped naked, as well as a tavern that had fights at least four times a week. Once a week we cashed pay cheques and by the end of the night you could barely speak from the counting otherwise the actual job was next to nothing save checking in the bands. But the was rarely a dull moment save Sunday nights.

I was a supervisor at a huge video store in a very rough part of town so it got extremely colorful at night (and even during the day actually). Huge staff of very diverse people and lots of laughs. Regulars like bar patrons on Cheers. The owner was an eccentric multi-millionaire who had a tiny office in the back where he did day trading and drank strawberry Ensure, in between visits from his ex-stripper girlfriend who was a size 00 with maybe like J-cups, or larger and loads of plastic surgery. It was somethin' else!

edited to add...I was actually older, like 28-29 at the time. I'd had some "serious" office jobs and needed a break from all of that. Most of my teenage jobs were fun too, but not as exciting as the video store.

Haunted attraction been doing it for 10yrs now. Been a guest to work or feature at haunts in other states. I love it!!!! Scaring is addicting. I could write a book on all the stories of things ppl did.

I love my job right now (freelance writer) but I still really miss my college job as a master control operator/video technician for the local PBS station.

The job basically consisted of monitoring the feed (aka, watching television) and recording new shows (they'd come through on the satellite feeds and you'd have to record them either digitally or on tape at the right time) and making sure shows went on the air at the right times (queuing them up on tape, hitting buttons at the proper second).

Occasionally something would go horribly wrong and it would get super stressful as you rushed to figure it out and fix it because everyone in the state could see the problem if they tuned to the channel. But most of the time, it was insanely fun. I watched soooo much interesting stuff on PBS, and during the duration of the shows you could surf the internet, read a book or do homework a lot of the time.

I also had the best/craziest boss. He was a little paranoid and was convinced that the station might one day be overtaken by terrorists, V for Vendetta style, so he had built a contingency plan around this possibility. He made a point of teaching me where the bullet-proof sections of the room were (he'd fortified them himself), how to use film reels as weapons, and how to disable the feed permanently by cutting one particular cord in case they succeeded in hijacking the signal. He kept a dummy notebook full of fake passwords out in the open and had the real passwords hidden in the most obscure location imaginable......
