The worst job I ever had was being unemployed and looking for a job only to find youself being interviewed by a corporate fool who knows nothing about the technicality of the job and will ultimately decide whether to pass you onto the next stage.

When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

When I was seventeen I was cutting chickens for a certain Colonel. Thought it was great at the time an extra 10 cents an hour.
Now you have to imagine using an open blade meat cuttin band saw making 7 cuts on a bird to make nine pieces. there were times your fingers were only half inch or less from the blade. My record was under 3 seconds for a complete bird....
When another kid cut his thumb off I lost my nerve and realized what a stupid thing I had been doing.

We took a cousin ptarmigan hunting one winter, who complained that something was 'sticking him' in the sole of a bunny boot he borrowed from us.
He wasn't happy, to discover the metal point of a hypodermic lodged in the boot sole, pricking his foot...

Hey Pullit, where did you work tobacco? I did that for three years in Ontario(priming). I always thought it was an okay job, once you gat past the wet,cold plants in the morning, and stifling heat and dust during the day. Did hay too, and it got pretty hot and dusty up in those lofts. Worked at a dairy farm for a year or two, milking 400 cows 3 times a day. Start work at 3:00 am, done at 6:pm, go to the bar till midnight or 1:00 am, sleep a coouple hours and do it again. Did you know you can sleep on your feet, while walking, if you are pressed tightly in a herd of moving cows? It's true- you just put your arms over their backs and get taken along. And, if you grab their tails, you can sh#t ski behind them when they start to run. Good clean country fun, right there!

I was a Hostess for a pie/steak house......for about 4 hours before I got fired. THAT was HORRIBLE!! LOL...never was one for customer service and/or taking lip off of hungry ole grumps!! Only other awful job was selling make-up at an upscale department store. After about 25 minutes...I asked my supervisor if I could take a restroom break.....and never went back<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />! I have had a lot of 'shovelin' chit.....labor type' jobs.....and always enjoyed them...still do. Just keep me away from customer service or people-pleaser jobs...and I do just fine. HoundGirl

Over the years I've had my share of less than desirable jobs but looking back on them now I have to admit I learned something useful from each and every one of them that eventually came in handy later on in life.
The one that I consider the most distasteful (and I only lasted a short time at) was a past due collector for a finance/loan company. The "Dead Beat's" that I knew were just trying skip out on a debt didn't bother me in the least. Matter of fact I kinda enjoyed doing a skip-trace, hunting them down. The folks that were genuinely trying though but just couldn't seem to get a break made it a really tough job for me.
Once the week before Christmas I had to go way out in the boonies collecting from a Mom with several young kids living in an cold, run down old river bottom shack. The Husband had deserted them leaving her and the kids with barely enough to eat, a pile of unpaid bills and no money. Forty years have past and it still puts a lump in my throat when I think about it.
Soon after that is when I moved on to another line of work. Guess somebody has got to do it just not me.

Been there done all those chores and don't care if I ever do it again.
Another job is haul 30,000 lbs of Anhydrous Ammonia to a Uranium Mine and dump it into an open pit of Sulfuric Acid......
Like I said you pick the order in which you would like to perform any one of those jobs......

Had to think on this one.. Let's see I've shoveled horse poop and numerous other jobs but I have to say the job I hated most was Clerk at the local grocery store in a tourist town, some people are just rude. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Chicken sh*t has to be the worst. My uncle's manure spreader broke and I got the job of shoveling it out. He had 3000 laying birds. The ammonia smell is unmistakeable and almost unbearable in the summer heat.
