My Last Job......was for a show production company doing all of Microsoft's product launches...this was terrible for two reasons:
1 - Im a designy person and therefore a Mac lover to the core, not only did I have to do work for 'The Enemy' but I also had to bite my tongue about how crap PC's are etc.
2 - The company I worked for didn't believe in a 'normal working day', or weekends, or employees going home, oh and you were paid a salary...no overtime...no bonuses...nothing. At one of the shows I worked for 78 hours straight, I would have had to work longer but one of the bosses saw me stumbling around and took me home, I apparently looked like I was about to die.
Quite happy im not there now, from what I hear it's got worse :)

Try this for sizeI'm an Environmental Engineer. As part of a project I once had to row a dinghy out into a lagoon full of pig shit on a farm and sample it. Several jars full of shit and piss later, I returned disgruntled to my office and dumped aforementioned reeking samples on my boss's desk.
Much hilarity ensued from the lads. And much disciplinary action fromt he hierarchy.
