Morphology

total + freakjob

Although 'freakjob' is not a standard dictionary item, its parts are analyzable as 'freak' (strange/intense) + 'job' (task), and the intensifier 'total' makes the meaning 'completely strange/problematic task' readily inferable. Because the item is slangy/nonce and the exact evaluative nuance (chaotic, pejorative, or merely unusual) is unpredictable without prior exposure, it is not fully transparent to a B1 learner.

Etymology

The phrase total freakjob may come from putting freak (something very strange or out of control) and job (a task) together. The picture is of a task that goes completely crazy, so it is used to mean 'an extremely unusual, chaotic, or problematic situation or task'.
