48. Ooohhh...lots.
Most notable:

1)Working as a dish-washer at a busy restaurant, whose dishwasher had broken down. We had to do it all by hand. It also included having a sink full of bleach to sanitize. I don't know if you've ever stuck your hand in bleachy water for hours on end. Basically, your hands start peeling and start looking like zombie hands. Never again.

2)Private security guard at a penitentiary. Since I wasn't actually working as an inhouse jail guard, and instead was a guard for a third party security company, I got payed shit. They just hired me to watch some terrorist guy to make sure he didn't commit suicide. He would often pretend to get sick for sympathy, and once got mad he wasn't transferred to the mental hospital he was supposed to be transferred to so he peed out the jail cell.

3)Working as a dishwasher at a restaurant that had no respect for labour laws. They wouldn't give anybody breaks (except smokers got a 5 minute break!). I once worked 9 hours straight without a break. I quit right after that, then reported them to the Labour board. Ha. Fuckers.
