Default Worst job?

What's the worst job you've ever had? I know worst is subjective, but here's mine.

Last summer, my Dad decided that he was going to do me a favor and get me a job at the HVAC (heating, ventilation, and ari-conditioning) company that he worked for; I was told that, essentially, I would be a go-fer for the guys who actually had HVAC experience. And this was pretty much what I did for the first week. I didn't know that I'd be working a full forty hour week though, and the next week was pure hell. My new assignment consisted of arriving to a newly built mall about 45 minutes away at seven in the morning. I then spent the next eight hours in an unair-conditioned, badly ventilated, half-built mall, twenty-five feet off the ground in a hydraulic lift. In the middleof summer. In south Texas. Drilling and hoisting large, metal AC units to the ceiling. And wrapping those units in insulation. I came home itchy, hot, and exhausted. I quit after my second week, despite making around $400 a week. I thought I was going to die.
