from fast food, nurse aide, MHMR assistant, secretary, census, working on farms, cleaning lady, telemarketing/call center/customer service, newspaper mailroom, photographer, etc, etc, etc--the worst had to be vacuuming cars at Magic Carwash! I quit the first day!

Close call between two. One was cleaning commercial chemical spills in 100 degree weather while wearing a taped up plastic suit and 'fireman' type boots. Even more fun the time a 50,000 gallon tank of tar decided to puke it's guts out. Imagine walking through a volcano filled with molten bubble gum while carrying 150 pounds of crap. Then there was the job where I was tearing down houses. REAL fun doing it with nothing more than hammers, prybars and a chainsaw in the middle of summer while sweating your a$$ off and getting fiberglass insulation all over you.


I've done the second one you mentioned before. But I was 12 or 14 or so and wrecking a house seemed like great fun at that age.

Other than itching my a$$ off from the insulation, it WAS fun! If it wasn't for that I might still do it and for free! It's a heck of a stress management tool. laugh
