The Worst Job Possible: If You Think Your Life Sucks, Think Again

OK. Maybe your boss is a little evil, you work in the smallest cubicle in the building and your co-workers are all retards but trust me, that's nothing compared to this: The worst job possible. It's (un)official. The worst job possible (that is real, not burrito tester or TV remote controller or something) has to be the person who says, "This program contains coarse language and mature themes. It may not be suitable for all viewers. Viewer discretion is advised," before your favorite show.
I wouldn't say that this is the worst paying job but c'mon, how much can you get doing this? But that's not even close to the worst of it.
Also, what do you think it would feel like having the director tell you that you did it wrong and you have to start over. You'd feel pretty damn dumb. Even worse, if you're fired from this job and you're searching for a new job and the interviewer asks you, "Where did you work before?" and you say, "I was that guy tells people not to watch shows before them." Good luck finding a new job like that.
Let's say you didn't get fired though; you're still getting paid to be a monotonous bore who nobody likes. Then, how the hell are you going to find a girlfriend/boyfriend? In the middle of a date, your habits kick in and you start talking like a robot; that's one of the surest ways to lose someone. I mean you could say you're part of a television show on your eHarmony profile but that's only getting you so far.
Now, let's say somehow, you do get a girl or a guy (mind you, that person would probably not care about you), what other relationships might you have? Who would want to be the friend of that kind of a friggin' person? I bet dogs would even run away. Plus, nobody cares about you; you're just the ignored and unaccepted little loser at school who sits in the corner of the yard all day.
So you think your job is bad? This one's probably a lot worse.

lol, great article. Except that maybe... I would think it's a one time thing, because the message only has to be recorded once and played back. And besides, wouldn't it be cool if after every commercial break you could hear your own voice? But then again, this is the most non-biased and impartial blog out there.
