      I worked on a farm one summer and picked potatoes by hand for hours and hours!
      I also did a lot of bar work which can be fun but late nights.

      I spent the summer after I finished university watching videos of monkeys and writing down what they were doing. It was the most boring thing I have EVER done. I learned a lot about monkey behaviour, though – they can be pretty unpleasant… 🙁

      I can just imagine your notes Lena…. 10.30am Monkey picking at fleas, 11am Monkey throws something gross at me…

      My worst job was probably my gardening job. It was one of my first jobs and I worked for a week digging trenches, weeding football field size gardens, and moving lots of heavy dirt around. At the end of the week I found out the boss had paid me only $4 per hour and also deducted money for the sandwiches he had given me for lunch! He didn’t see me again.

      I was a checkout girl at a major supermarket. This sounds much cleaner than everyone else’s but there was nothing more boring that being on the cash only till on a Monday morning when the shop was nearly empty. At least Lena’s monkey’s turned up.
