Best: working for Lucent Technologies, riding high* on the telecom wave
Worst: working for a soul-sucking defense contractor (current)

* metaphorically speaking

Most different:
I washed feet. Old, stinky feet. Feet with problems.

When I was 14, I worked for the summer as a podiatrist's assistant. It was actually a pretty okay job; I have no particular fear of feet. I am mostly amused by the disgusted reactions I got from other people when the topic of that job came up.

Most of the older people that came to see the doc were pretty cool & friendly (although there were a few cases that should have been sent to Wolf!) The other women who worked there were a friendly, low-key group. We even got free coffee from the bakery next door.
