Painted houses for a lazy alcoholic that I only saw on fridays to get paid in cash.  Basically ran our crew.  started when we wanted to.  finished when we wanted to.  completely made up the quantity of hours worked right before getting paid every friday.  It also paid much more than any job any of my friends at the time had. 

Since the boss was an alchy, you could call in at like 11am and tell him you just woke up from a bender and he would totally laugh about it and completely understand.

The guy always told us that he liked to treat us great because some day he would be working for us.

Mine is probably my time spent working at Safari Jacks, Gilligans and Aggie Station until it burned down  :dubious:

Co-worker!!! Don't know if you remember a high school kid running around there or not. I think I worked in the kitchen the night that it happened.

arsonist confession

EllRobersonisInnocent: What the hell is this?

puniraptor: EllRobersonisInnocent, you have the right to remain silent. Any statement you make...

EllRobersonisInnocent: I'm being charged with a crime? Is that what this is? I'm being charged with a crime? This is funny. That's what this is. This is...

[turning to TRIM and lunging at him]

EllRobersonisInnocent: ... I'm gonna rip the eyes out of your head and piss into your dead skull! You mumped with the wrong EMAW!

puniraptor: EllRobersonisInnocent! Do you understand these rights as I have just read them to you?

EllRobersonisInnocent: You fuckin' people... you have no idea how to defend a message board. All you did was weaken a bbs today, TRIM. That's all you did. You put people's lives in danger. Sweet dreams, son.

TRIM: Don't call me son. I'm a lawyer, and a a moderator at goEMAW.COM, and you're under arrest you son of a bitch.

TRIM: The witness is excused.

TRIM: I'm not that kind of lawyer.

Movie theatre.  Sounds dorky but it wasn't.  Boss hired all hot chicks on our recommendations.  I mostly did box office but sometimes would run the projectors (they were the old fashioned kind).  Hooked up with a lot of babes on the roof, too.

What theater? Did the same at the one I worked at in HS. Also, I was in HS and my boss would pick up a 30 pack and we would get ripped and have our friends out after hours to drink/watch movies.

gameday parking lot attendant (east lot, south side) at the Bill, but pre-BSFS time. Never been happier while working.  I helped so many people and would act silly a lot and do weird arm motions and poses because I was hilarious and people loved the cats and having a laugh or two before the game is totally ok at the happiest place on earth.

does "radio host" at 91.9 count?  if it does, then doing "Just Two Guys" with Matt Seibrandt's Left Hand would be number 1.

country club bag room staff. unbelievably awesome job for a 17-18 year old. lots of beer tips, driving a cart around all day, use of golf clubs/driving range, milfs everywhere, no hard work. great stuff

did greens work for a summer, it was dandy.  Boss was a pushover, could go into the clubhouse and eat and drink anything, anytime.  Almost made mowing enjoyable when you could go "refresh" your drink behind the bar every couple of holes.  I don't think I have ever done so little and gotten paid for it.

Doing little and getting paid well is always a great gig. Doing nothing and getting paid well is even better.

Definitely my time as a runner at a law firm. I spent most of my time taking vehicles to the car wash, going to the grocery store or hitting on the clerks.

What is a runner?

I'm assuming it stands for errand runner. I was supposed to file motions at the county clerk's office and stuff like that. However, if I wasn't doing the three things I mentioned previously I was doing homework on the clock or going to lunch with the senior partner. It was a pretty sweet gig for a college kid. Most Fridays I got yelled at if I wasn't hungover/didn't have a story to tell the senior partner about the night before.

Let me be the 3rd person in this thread to say that bartending at Aggie Station is the best job I've ever had.

On-screen "talent" for a series of geological educational videos. I had no rough ridin' idea what I was talking about...just read the teleprompter, wore pick axe and canteen smiled.

It was like touring several of Kansas's different geologial eras with one of your budies, who wore a sharp plaid shirt.
