Comment Can't top it, but here's my job from hell (Score 2, Interesting) 1716

It was summer. No air conditioning. No natural light. Strong smell from the nearby margarine factory. I was sitting on a non-ergonomic chair, working on a 286 with 2MB of RAM, WordPerfect 5.2, amber monitor, sat on top of a wheeled trolley that I couldn't get my legs under. And what was I doing with this world-class equipment? I was sorting 5,000 entries in New Zealand Who's Who into alphabetical order. Had to create a whole bunch of small files and copy and paste endlessly.... And they were paying me $12.50 an hour, presumably because of my master's degree. Lots of you guys have had worse jobs but that was my low point. ___________
