Strange jobs.

[sickpup]

Today I was paid £15 to deliver a 4 pint plastic bottle of milk 3 miles for a publicity stunt.

Kind of went wrong as the recipients knew nothing about it and didn't even know of the company that sent it but we have a HUGE fridge full of these bottles at work so it looks like we will be doing a load more.

What's the most ridiculous thing you've been paid to do at work?

[Fisty]

Got paid £500 to pick up a set of taper roller bearings from liverpool airport.

Most ridiculous things that I have had to do at work are as follows:

- Having to count massive cathodes baking in ovens at an aluminium smelter
- Having to get up at 5am, drive to a chemical plant, climb 25 metres up a silo and lower a tape measure down to see how much liquid was in there
- Going round a factory, randomly picking people, asking them their name and what they do

All were slightly bizzare considering I'm an accountant!

We also once sent a newbie to verify that there was a certain ship in the docks - but we told him that all ships must be under the command of a Captain at all times, and as such he needed to get a picture of him, with the Captain, wearing his hat.

Fair play to the guy, he did it.

Getting paid to sell the bikes I hate with a passion.

I once became a pimp for a Portugese prostitute in Zimbabwe ( it was an accidental thing, I just happened to be living in a brothel).
Some years latter I used to go around Brum paying out male strippers in seedy pubs. If you have never seen a pair of drag queens blowing a guy to give him wood you aint ever lived.

So even though Ariel posted about being a pimp.

You find a generator running out of petrol more interesting.

yea but how long did it take??

[Endless Nameless]

You've had an interesting life haven't you Ariel!

How the hell do you accidentally become a pimp?

Not had any interesting jobs yet. One of the delivery lorries broke down at work and I watched the driver out the yard as he couldnt see round the corner, thats about as exciting as it gets. Still, beat stacking shelves (being a "customer service assistant" sucks)

I'm gonna try find summit more exciting to do I think!

Spent the first half hour of my shift tonight making a display of the wines we had on offer.

Only two things wrong there really:

1. We only had half the wines that were on offer actually in stock, and my display took up all of these, so effectively put us out of stock.

2. The only place we had to put the display was an area only really visible to staff, or possibly to one or two customers at a chance angle on the 'L' shaped bar.

Yes, really, I made a display that the customers could not possibly hope to see unless they came behind the bar, upon doing which they would be ejected, and thus unable to buy any of it anyway.

Was a very pretty display though...

I get paid to sit in the canteen drinking coffee, hot chocolate, eating mini cheddars, and playing on my computer. I also occasionally have to go and do some work.

[Dave McCool]

I love to poo at work.

It's like taking the normal satisfaction of a really good poo, and then adding the fact that you're being paid for it.

Can't beat it.

At an aviation technology placement I once had to test aircraft testing equipment cables.

Not sure how many of them, possibly a couple hundred, each cable had two ends like a scart lead….something like 50 numbered pins on each end. The job was for one guy on one end and another guy on the other end to touch the same numbered pin on one end as the other and listen for a beep. If it beeps, it works.

I actually looked forward to going for a piss.

When I did my work experience at BAE Systems in the research bit I worked with two guys whose job was basically to shoot things. With a bloody huge gas powered gun, barrel diameter of maybe 4 inches and about 20 foot (yes, 20 foot!) long. Was quite something to see a small bit of shrapnel hit a bit of 2" steel armour so hard it nearly went right through. They got to do this day in, day out doing impact testing on various materials, especially armoured stuff.
Thought they had a pretty cool job meself.
