Stephen King Wrote Carrie Because Someone Said He Couldn't (My Worst Job)

As a woman myself I recognize the frustration of an author pandering to an exclusively male audience. But that lady picked up Playboy, like... I’m genuinely curious what the heck was she expecting? Also that kind of mental gymnastics should get her a medal. “You write articles targeting men for a magazine whose main demographic is male... You most be afraid of women of course” That’s like saying “You work for a fashion magazine, it only stands to reason you do not know how to change a tire”

A guy sees his new neighbor out in his backyard, so he decides to get acquainted. After introductions, he asks the new neighbor what he does for a living. The new neighbor says, "I'm a professor." The first neigbhbor then asks, "Oh yeah, what do you teach?" "Logic," the professor reponds. "What is that?" the neighbor inquires. "Well, let me see if I can give you an example...you have a dog, right?" "Yeah, that's right," neighbor #1 responds. "And you have children too, right?" says the professor. "Wow, right again!" exclaims the neighbor. "So, then you must be married and that would make you a heterosexual, right?'' proclaims the professor. "Unbelievable, you're absolutely correct. How do you know all this about me?" "Well," the professor says, "I observed there was a dog house in your backyard, so you must have a dog. I also saw bicycles next to your garage, so you must have children. And if you have children, you are probably married and if your married, you are most likely heterosexual... it was all logical!" The next afternoon, the neighbor runs into his old friend. His friend asks if he has met the new neighbor. The man says that he met him yesterday. "What's he like?" "Well," the man says, "he's nice and he is a professor of logic." "Oh," says the friend, "what's logic?" "Maybe I can give you an example. Do you have a dog house?" "Why, no, I do not," responds the friend. "Well, then," proclaims the man, "you must be gay!"

I can bang out a novel in a month, but it then needs 6 months of editing. I know King does not plot his novels, he just repeats the idea to himself at night before bed, and the story builds until he has it all, then he blazes it down. I do something similar, so yes, he could likely write a novel in 1 to 3 weeks, albeit a short novel, not like, The Stand or IT. Also, King did not write articles in Playboy like people think, he just sold them stories: He wrote horror stories and no one would buy them, except for men's magazines, and most of those sales were NOT Playboy but cheap rags like Cavalier and Adam etc. Most of his early stories were published in men's magazines like that.

I worked in a chicken processing factory one summer. I was in the Offal dept, in refrigerated conditions, picking up chicken guts, separating the liver from the rest of the giblets, then pulling off the gall bladder, and collecting the livers in big tubs. 3 times a day, I'd have to go and cover people's breaks in the plucking dept, so I'd go from a 5 degrees (c) room, to a 30 degree (c) room with 75% residual humidity, still in all the cold weather clothes. A lot of the time the heads would still be hanging on by a bit of skin when the birds went into the scald-plucking line, and get ripped off by the plucker machinery, so to move anywhere meant crunching your way through a floor full of chicken heads. It's a special kind of cold, when you've been sweating into your thermal shirt and jumper for half an hour, and then have to go back into a huge fridge with your clothes all wet and sticking to you. Still, if I ever got stuck for a job, I'd go back. I'd rather be working and making money than trying to survive on unemployment benefits.

When I was a child, I had a job for a mediocre national newspaper, selling papers early on Saturday mornings. Many had not woken up yet, most of those who had were either uninterested (because they wanted the other paper) or unwilling to pay the extra 5NOK for the Saturday Extra (a grand total of 25NOK, or £2.5 depending on currency at the moment), and from those who did buy the newspaper, I earned 7NOK per paper I sold. Being only a wee lad, the stack of 25 newspapers with the Saturday Extra was almost literally backbreaking as I had to carry them in a special backpack that was designed not for comfort or practicality, but for the sole purpose of fitting about 45'000cm^3 of paper in it. And may I add, I had to retrieve them at the bottom of a very long and steep hill, only to pull them back up the hill where my designated route was. It was even worse having to do it in Scandinavian winter temperatures after heavy snowfall. Sales were bad, the pay was bad, and the work was harder than its worth. You can understand why I quit.

Being a very physical job, I’ve seen people break bones, get gashes from broken glass, and even heard of many people dying from trucks driving over them. I was injured when 200 pounds of packages fell on my lower back as I was leaning over to check the postal code on a package. I was met with crushing defiance from management and was called a liar, a con, and a waste of an employee. My back is permanently injured, if I move too suddenly, it’ll throw out it out. It’s kept me from playing sports, running for health, and even...personal things. Yet I was NEVER given ANY compensation! UPS made me pay my own medical bills even though they said they would, and I had to take 2 weeks off to recover which I was never reimbursed for, even though it was from their mechanical failure. Truly disgusting place and I have always told and always tell anyone who says they’ve applied at UPS to go elsewhere.

I worked in a battery chicken farm. Job description, picking the dead culling the weak. The 96000 chickens would take three odd months to mature and the bins where I threw the dead were only cleared when the sheds were. The smell of 3 month old sweating corpses isn’t one to leave your nostrils too quickly. The job wasn’t helped by the fact you could barley walk in the shed as the chicks were packed so tightly and the heaters would keep the air temp and humidity uncomfortably high. There was also the odd occasion when the chicks were young, about the size of your palm, where it was possible to lose footing. Usually resulting in a sickening crunch. But hey at 16 on £15.00 per hour who cares for a little mental scarring.

re-fletching and fixing arrows for an archery club over a summer. Outdoors? Yes, but it was one full of gluing fingers together, repointing arrows, and straightening arrows, and half of that was trying to fix arrows that were just beyond repairing, because the place I worked at bought a batch of new arrows at the start of the year, and were determined to make sure they lasted until the new batch. Less due to it being shit, more due to it being just monotonous. It was basically a full day of working through the off set of arrows, then working on the previous day's on set the day after.

[@ShiftyMcGoggles]

That's why the archery groups near me, and the club I worked at, refused to buy wood or fibreglass arrows. They stuck with aluminium shafts since they didn't splinter like wood and fibreglass, and also could be re-straightened after someone boomeranged the arrow. Usually, a small kid misfiring into the frame or skittering along the ground into a stone was the reason some arrows came back with a gnarled bend in the shaft.

Ah my younger years, the magazine did have good articles, the first page I always went to was the lame jokes which were easy to find page after centerfold, then the pictures and articles last.

Call centre jobs drain happiness like a dementor

[@brandoween2001]

My worst job I ever worked was a waiter at a catering hall, atmosphere was awful and pay was not enough for how much we did.

Picking stones as a child on my dad's land...in England yes!

I have vintage playboy and yea they were mostly articles and some pictures and i actually enjoyed alot of the interviews from way back

[@DieAlteistwiederda]

Working in a call center was a nightmare not even because of the people calling in but the co-workers and bosses I had.

I worked as mall security. Soul crushing job.

It was so cool that his wife saved Carrie from the trash bin.

reminds me of the time the resident with the urinals chore asked people to stop shitting in them.

I worked at FYI used to be a record store, pretty much now is a pop culture store. Boss didnt like me so he sometimes just to spite me would put me on one day a week. Made about 100 a week. Then worked at Old Navy and worked 3 days a week, still making 100 a week just to stand around and look like I was cleaning. Those were two of the worst jobs a worked. I loved FYE, but the boss and the pay was terrible.

[@Competitive_Antagonist]

If you're stoned enough then cleaning toilets can be a zen like experience.

One of my worst jobs was in a local cafe which mostly hired friends/family. So of course when I started working there a lot of the staff would complain if I done a small thing wrong and I couldn't complain to the manager cause she's friends with them. It got so bad I would leave work in agony usually after crying in the bathroom. Of course I made a fb post encouraging people not to go there

The author Jim Butcher created his Furies of Calderon series from a argument with an internet troll. Butcher was arguing that anything could be successful if written well, which the troll called BS. The troll challenged Butcher to write a story about Pokémon and the Roman Empire, expecting him to fail. Furies of Calderon is a Damn good book series. Butcher himself told this story at the San Diego Comic Con back in 2008 or 2009 which is where I heard it.

He didn't write smut for Playboy, he wrote horror stories (many of which were collected in Night Shift after he became famous.). The pay rate was pretty good and many established authors continued writing for it after becoming famous.

[@WmtSlater]

Hmm, just curious but that 'nightclub' sounds a lot like corp in Sheffield... I have a feeling this is where you worked

[@samhouston1288]

The worst job I have ever worked is Walmart. I quit after three months because I was just done with it. The managers are not consistent and most of them don't care about the job, you, or anything else. The customers are more often than not idiots and assholes, and the place is just soul sucking. I used to be a shift manager for Dollar General (the equivalent of your Poundland) making a whopping $8.25 an hour (less than what Walmart pays), and it was at least bearable because the customers seemed to be nicer and the manger actually cared. At Walmart, you are nothing more than a faceless employee.

I've been the foreman of a hazmat crew for over ten years now....😔😓

Worst job I had was as a donation attendant at Goodwill, but a donation attendant's job also includes everyone else's job as well.. We were the ones who cleaned the bathrooms, swept the store and the back area, helped picked up all the clothes and toys from off the floor, restocked the ice cream and drinks, disposed of all the donations that were trash in a fucking compactor, used motorized equipment to bring huge gaylords out and set them up ourselves, plus our actual job of taking the donations and roughly organizing them without being able to check if they work or if the CDs had a disc inside them. .

I actually read an interesting article in Playboy once written by the brother of the Unabomber talking about snitching his brother out & the moment he realizes my bro the Unabomber
