On the road to the top one must still make some money.
My Top Five Worst Temp Jobs:
1) Christmas Elf in the worlds worst organised Grotto.
2) Temping in a kids adventure play area where every single employee was a temp and no one had a clue what was going on.
3) Working at a holiday club for children where the over-weight and under qualified lady I had to work with would start EVERY sentence with "I'm not being funny but..." She was indeed right as she was never funny.
4) Flyering for a rubbish offer to do with banking during a credit crunch and being spat at.
5) Working in a sweet factory bagging up sweets and actually learning what white mice and dazzles are made from.
The only way is up...

The worst temp job I have ever had was trying to convince the people of Greater Manchester that voting YES in a referendum on the introduction charging in order to qualify for a government investment into public transport in the area. As if this wasn't difficult enough for 7 quid an hour (or whatever mesely amount drew me in like a moth to a lightbulb) they shoved us in bright white campaign t-shirts and forced us to ride buses and stand next to busy roads and car-parks where we were subject to a pretty much continuous torrent of abuse from motorists. To top is all of, the public (not surprisingly) voted no - and the Government investment was denied... however, a few months down the line, what do I read in the Manchester Evening News?? The Government have made a complete U-turn and the promised investment into transport improvement in the region has been approved... and they told us there was no 'Plan B' if the public voted no to a congestion charge... If anything i has taught me two things: that the average 'joe-public' will never agree to something that only benefits society and not them individually (I blame Thatcherism and its emphasis on rugged individualism); and that the Government and local councils are all a load of lying scum. Democracy in action... yeah right.

that first sentence doesn't make sense... it should say ' on the introduction of congestion charging...' - I type too fast for my brain.
