Tell us about an awful or scary job you have done.

Once I had a job ripping out an wood plank floor in a fish processing plant.
Under the planks there were hundreds of huge obese spiders – because so much fish parts
fell threw the cracks in the planking the spiders didn’t have to move they just sat there and gorged them self’s and eventually their bodies grew so big their legs were useless and they couldn’t move if they tried. (if you have seen that new kids in the hall show “when death comes to town” the spiders kind of looked like that Rickey character)
What was really awful was eventually you had to walk on the sub floor to get the planks off and you had to kick these big spiders out of the way.
I am not sure about this but I heard that the company that owned the fish plant turned the obese spiders into a paste and sold it as artificial crab meat. Cheers!
What's pushing us apart isn't loneliness what's holding us together isn't love. Listen to the man who's been touched all his life yes he's the one they call the fool. Where is that savoir of the sidewalk life and the road that takes us to the crusades? We still got along way to go yes we still got a along way to go.

#1. I use to work at a boat dock renting boats to drunk Italian assholes from Philly. They would buy pounds of squid for bait without ice and leave it all over the boats....I had to clean them. They also failed to buy a knife to fillet their fish so I made $$ each day cutting up fish. Some of those drunks would fill up 16-18' foot boats FULL of fish and small (3-4') sharks and wanted them all cut up so they would have food for their 1 week vacation......in some cases it was several hundred pounds of food.

#2. I worked at a milk farm cleaning up cow dung, feeding cows and delivering their babies. Delivering a calf that doesn't want to come out has to be one of the sickest jobs on the planet. The after birth looks like cheese and pepperoni from a pizza. Reaching inside the mother to reposition the calf is a little on the gross side as well.

#3. Working at a hospital pumping peoples stomachs when they overdosed. The only highlight of that job was we use to see the food coming back up through a clear tube and we would bet on what they ate for their meals that day. Lol, when they came to it was always the first thing we asked them.

#4. When I was a firefighter and had to deal with dead people......some of the suicide ones would stink!

#5. Back to the hospital job, I got the honor of notifying people when someone passed away. I worked night shift so I was the bastard that woke everyone up with crappy news night after night.

Nanoose, I can just imagine the smell at the fish processing plant! I worked as a security guard in one while I was college.........I last 3 days! Regardless of what I did I could not get the smell off of me and my car.
