I've been a local paper boy for almost 2 yearsAnd walking 3 miles every Wednesday for £10 a week isn't actually that bad. But this time last year, I figured I'd get a morning one to buy my new computer (I was getting it for Christmas, but I was paying £400 towards it) I started it the morning after an Alice Cooper concert and that was probably one of the better days. I was always freezing, always tired and pretty soon always ill. EVERY day for 2-3 months I did this, with a break only when I was hung over and throwing up everywhere on New Years Day, and it almost killed me, I was ill with something very like Glandular Fever (though I got checked and it wasn't) from mid November to March, even three months after I quit sometime in January. If I'd been there another week it would've killed me.
Not really any good, but I'm only little and wanted to put something. I'm about to turn 16 and looking for a new job though, wish me luck...

Man that's nothing!On Sunday mornings I used to jog along one side of the road while my friend did the other on her bike with the Sunday morning paper route. It was her route, I didn't get paid I just did it to hang with her. We would put our Bras on under our nighties and jackets n pants on over top. Then dive back into bed 2 hours later before the rest of the house was up and talk or sleep till the afternoon.
My worst job HAS to be when I worked in daycare! The noise 60 kids make can really exhaust any sane person. I was told I had to do "work experience" in a Kindy or daycare center for a Nanny certificate I was doing (I didn't even want to be a nanny! I was encouraged to do that if I wanted to get into teachers training.) sooo I did this course. Got puked on shat on and the staff there were bone Idle and used the students to do the hard work!!! and after all that I didn't even get into Teachers training (Good luck for me because I went on to better things i.e. my masters.)
Unfortunately I ended up HATING kids for years (mostly the result of stupid parents not really the kiddies)
It all ended up good, I have easy library assistant job with Rapitanui as my supervisor, so you can tell that it’s pretty relaxed here and much B3TA is done on work time....

Oh, and my work experianceI spent a week (was ment to be two, but I they could only take me for one so I spent most of the first week helping out with stuff at school) sorting envelopes. On the first day, I helped print off over 8,000 addresses onto them, then we spent the rest of the week putting the right letters and catologues in them. The company and people were really nice, and I did manage to spend large amounts of time in the stock room looking at computer stuff, but sorting envelopes for a week nearly drove me insane. Mind you, I got to build 2 computers on the last day, and I got offered back in the sumer (which I couldn't do) so they must've thought I did a good job of it.
