		<description><![CDATA[I worked in a sandwich factory for a miserable pittance in the summer after my GCSEs. The permanent staff we&#8217;re bitter and resentful towards me (after all, I was a 16 year old getting a bit of extra pocket money so that I could afford to go on holiday without my parents for the first [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The worst job I ever had was working on an animated feature in &#8217;91, a personal project of a critically acclaimed animator who had been a top Soho ad animator for decades. He had been making this thing since the 70&#8242;s and had finally got a little Hollywood backing and hired a small, underpaid crew [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The worst job I&#8217;ve ever had was one summer after I had dropped out of University. I took a job as a weedsprayer. Every day I had to wear a green boiler suit, carry a 35 litre tank of toxic weedkiller on my back and a sprayer in my hand. The look was finished off [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Washing dishes would normally qualify as a pretty dreadful job, but you might expect the misery to be somewhat abated by the opportunity for scoffing leftovers at the end of the day. Unfortunately, my experience of said job was in a pretty hardline vegan/healthfood sort of thing. Didn&#8217;t stop the well-meaning proprietor from stuffing horrific [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the summer of 1995 my friend and I obtained what seemed to be a dream summer job working for 300 bucks a week as &#8220;Re-agent Personnel&#8221; in a Californian warehouse production unit. However, initial portents weren&#8217;t good. On our first morning a call from reception in our motel awoke us from our drunken blackout [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I started my career of crap jobs in a syringe needle factory. My task was in quality control, seated next to a conveyor belt carrying needles glued into plastic bases. Dangerously erect, they marched past at a rate of twenty five a second. I was a solitary addition to the conveyor belt with nothing but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I once got suckered by a Temp Agency into going for a job as a kitchen porter in a hotel in Bournemouth. I was still at University and pretty naive and had no idea at the time what a kitchen porter did. After a formal half an hour interview (why?), I was offered the job [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I once left a perfectly good college course to work as an apprentice spray painter in a hell-hole of a town called Kelty in Fife. The wage was poor, the fumes were appalling and I was forced to clean out the filthy spray painting filter machine on a weekly basis. The panel beater had a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Determined to save money for an impending move to America back in 1986, I took a night job at some grotty little factory in Surbiton, Surrey. I had often passed the building sniggering at the unfortunates inside, a thought which kept coming back to me after I accepted 5 quid an hour under the table. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I once did the door to door household goods thing, about 10 years ago, in London. It was actually a live-in job as the company owned a house in Uxbridge and recruited kids like myself from the Northern wastelands. Basically, you worked 12 hours a day, 6 days a week and were expected to do [...]]]></description>
