Re: Most difficult or shittiest jobs have you worked
hmm....well if you count a terrible rotation in grad school for a fucking little gimp that makes kim jong il look like a nice korean...that was the shittiest most recent job because he felt students were slave laborers and had a web cam monitoring the lab at all times.
but...realistically, my worst job ever was when i was an undergrad...i used to manage a 6-bed group home for developmentally disabled adults. i had 4 spastic quads and 2 ambulatory residents, one of which had asperger's and had a ball tossing the wheelchair bound residents out of their wheelchairs because he was resentful that he had to live with them. it is one thing to be a primary advocate and caregiver for family but quite another to make $15/hr on 10-12hr shifts to do it for the disabled.

Bad for your health (the long sitting and the stress) , and dangerous.
Re: Most difficult or shittiest jobs have you worked
Summer of '75 I worked at the Bronx zoo shoveling every type of dung known to man, all to save up for that Rickenbacker 4001 bass I wanted so badly.
Re: Most difficult or shittiest jobs have you worked
Here's my list of rubbish jobs...
First job I ever had at 14 years of age - working in a battery hen farm, picking out shit covered eggs to be cleaned. These came down into the unit on a conveyor belt which had previously stolen another colleagues index finger.
Longest job I've ever managed - worked for four years as a 'double glazing salesman'. Money was good, that was how I first got to Thailand, but selling pensioners uPVC front doors for £3k ruined my sense of humanity.
Shortest job - charity fundraising. Did one shift and quickly realised I was being trained to sell cancer as a guilt product. Quit after my first shift.
Grimiest job - working in various care roles. An austic kid threw his turd at me once which got stuck to my hoodie just under the chin area, an old man threw his dinning table at me because his pudding was...? I never found out what was wrong with it. Also, having to clean the cum up off a bathroom floor each time my client said he needed the 'toilet'. He did this at least twice in a shift.

I think I would prefer to go back to the kill floor at a meat packing plant than do your grimiest jobs

Re: Most difficult or shittiest jobs have you worked
Working on the conveyor belt at Fed Ex was a horrible , nightmare of a job. My hours were part time, 3am til 7am. It was a brutally stifling hot warehouse with no ventilation and that belt would send crap over at 50 miles per hour and you would be assigned a truck with 4 zipcodes to load up. Everything would have to be loaded according to the zip code on specific areas of the truck. At 6am the drivers would arrive and bitch about how you loaded the truck. The intense heat made you dehydrated and dripping with sweat. After just a 4 hour shift my body would be sore all over.
