re: Worse job you ever worked

It's a tie for me.
I worked at a Mexican restaurant washing dishes (illegally) when I was 13 and my parents had just divorced and my mom needed help paying the bills. It was a 6-8 hour shift stuck in that hot and humid kitchen without AC scrubbing endless cheese off of plates, and the massive pots they used to cook rice and cheese dip in. I would be dripping sweat and worn TF out from scrubbing by the end of every shift.
Then when I was in college I was an assistant manager at Tractor Supply. Don't know how many of y'all have actually shopped there, but the biggest seller by far is dog food. The employees are all responsible for unstacking the 30+ pallets of dog food that came in twice a week, hundreds of 50+ pound bags. We weren't allowed to leave a pallet whole in the back room and it was required that every single bag of dog food be put on the back shelves in the stock room, it was painstaking work lifting and moving hundreds of those 50+ pound bags by hand.
That being said, it was a great workout that I got paid for and at that age I was happy to get paid to be in shape. Nowadays I look back and realize just how miserable it was

Schuykill Metals around Zachary. They recycled batteries to get the lead. I was hired as the safety officer. The job was to make sure the workers wore safety masks. Due to the lead contamination, the workers got a fresh uniform every day. My job was to document any spills of the molten lead and to insure they took a shower at the end of the shift.
Now you may ask what was the problem with this job? Very simple, I was required to go into the showers and watch all these men take showers. It took me a month to find another job.
I should mention that work site is now a closed EPA Superfund site.
