    BEST job I've ever had is my current on as Chief Editor of The Reptile Report.

    Worst job was as a young adult going to school....clerking at a 7-11 store in one of the highest crime-ridden neighborhoods of South Dallas. Dirty old store with a lot of scary people around. The upside was that there were some very cool people in that neighborhood, too...and a few great guys that went out of their way to make sure the female clerks were not being hassled or intimidated when they were around.

    Best - current job, adoption counselor for a no-kill humane society

    Worst - working as housekeeping in a hotel when I was 16 or a server at Denny's...both of them were just not my cup of tea.

    Worst- Customer Service Representative for a T-Mobile call center. Cubicles and ignorant people were not a great combination for me.

    Best- Property Inspector for the City of Indianapolis. Most of the work is in the field and I have a much better understanding of local government and the rolls that each department plays.

    I suppose being an Army Journalist could have been the best and worst job I ever had, depending on the day and assignment.
