WORST job I can imagine: The Love Boat, with a mop, swabbin' body fluids off the Lido Deck. YOURS?

1. That's not even close

Top five worst jobs of all time:

Kitten euthanasia technician in an animal shelter
Military survivor assistance officer
Anything where the boss is a psychopath (I already HAD one of those!)
A retail job selling a product you don't believe in (had one of those too)
Foreclosed house renovator

The first one I know I'd go home and commit suicide after the first day, the second one I never was high enough in rank to do, the third one I FELT like going home and committing suicide every day I worked there, the fourth I kept for a month because something better came along, and the fifth would make me feel like the worst ghoul imaginable.

3. I've only had #3 ("the boss is a psychopath")...several times, actually...

It's all a blur, you know? I've done things in my "career" that I don;t like to think about, but dodging a bullet from a psycho boss is something I've accomplished on several occasions.

:toast:

6. may I add two to the list?

A debt collector
Kennel attendant (aka cleaning up dog shit all day)


i've had both of those jobs.

11. There are lots of shit jobs out there. Those ones are especially evil.

Being a lumper (someone who unloads trucks all day) would be fucking rotten too...then again, if I had enough money to start a bunch of businesses I might think about starting a lumper service. It seems to be a good way to employ a lot of MR/DD people--the work is physically difficult but not mentally challenging, and it pays decent.

2. DU moderator comes to mind.

4. I keep 'em jumpin'...

...my posts walk the fine line between the wisdom and compassion of political and spiritual leader Mahatma Gandhi and "The Gimp" from "Pulp Fiction."

I'm always somewhere right in the middle, like lukewarm water, as Derek Smalls would say.

:rofl:

5. Weekend janitor in a college bar.

From experience. You don't use a mop to clean the bathrooms - you use a hot water hose.

7. Brooke Hogan's back up singer (especially the one who was sleeping with the Hulkster)

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Love Boat, with a mop, swabbin' body fluids off the Poop Deck.

Can't believe no one posted that obvious one yet.

:rofl:

9. Rush Limbaugh's food taster.

Do I win? :evilgrin:

12. There'd be only one problem with that job

The guy's richer than Croesus so he can afford good food. The problem would be resisting the temptation to season it with arsenic.

[Brigid]

13. Yes, but . . .

Making sure the food wasn't laced with arsenic would be the food taster's job. That's why I wouldn't want it. ;)

[jmowreader]

14. I was more thinking...

that you'd eat your fill then add the arsenic yourself.

You saw the Addams Family movie, right? The scene where Uncle Fester is standing there unpacking his bag and Morticia tries to help...and she's there pulling out all these guns and dynamite and poison. "Cyanide? Oh Fester...as if we'd run out." That would be you.

10. 1) Supervising human beings in any venture; 2) handling complaints

I've done both for 35 years in one manner or another. believe me, my dream job would be one in which I supervise no people. I'm so sick of it.

15. Ship-related and swabbing, though not "body fluids" (usually)

My second ship started out from Seattle and the destination was Norfolk, VA, via the Panama Canal.

I don't know the actual mechanics of the Canal and believe that we didn't literally PULL the ship by brute force, but we *did* man the lines (ropes) and pulled for certain periods. And when we got a break, standing at the rails looking down at the other channel, there was a tourist cruise ship going the other way. There was no crew in sight. Only a bikini clad woman sunbathing, floppy hat, big sunglasses, cocktail next to her.

The NEXT time we go through there...

16. I had a buddy who cleaned the floors of an adult theater.

He also joked that he "passed out the raincoats" at the front door.

I cannot imagine the horrors he faced in that job.

17. Paper shredder for the Bush Administration

I'm guessing their work won't be done for awhile. And the papercuts - :scared:
