The toughest job you have ever held?

I remember when I used to survive financially and I decided to take up a temporary job as a quarry worker. It involved lifting large numbers of heavy stones and transporting them up a steep hill to the loading zone. Additionally, I have also worked in tall buildings lifting heavy stones upstairs to the 7th floor of building under construction.

 

I once worked in a frozen supplies warehouse facility. It was -20 degrees and required special thermal clothing. Even with regular breaks your breath would freeze on your balaclava, it was tough to get through.

 

This probably doesn't sound bad, but it was. I worked as an assistant to a private detective. It was probably the worst job I've ever had as well as the most short-lived. The man was nice, but he was the most disorganized person I have ever worked for. He had no idea how to be a boss. I would show up and sometimes he wouldn't know how to explain what I should do, would micro-manage what I was doing, or would have no work for me to do at all. Once, I turned up and couldn't get into the office and sat in the hallway for over an hour waiting for him to turn up with a key that would actually work. I was nearly in tears because I was so frustrated.
