What's the shittiest job you've ever had?

The good old days before you got your green card?

Shittiest job overall was loading classroom size chalkboards on to the back of trucks. Shittiest individual job was burning the shite cans under the latrines.

I've never had that bad of a job. Worked at a boot store to setup and work a tent sale when I was 15 or so. It was hot as shite putting the tent up and all the stuff out there, but not too bad. All my jobs in college where office student jobs which suck because you're just filing shite all day, but nothing really to complain about.

Had to detail both of grandfather’s Rolls Royces my first summer home from Cornell twice a week. Just a harrowing experience getting turtle wax all over my timberlands.

Brick layers helper at age 15. New construction so no grass, trying to steer 300lb wheelbarrows on 2x8s around houses with deep mud on either side of the slippery walking board. I dumped more mortar than I delivered. And when I got it there, it was either too sandy, too soupy, or too dry. I also almost killed myself and others trying to throw stacks of bricks up the scaffold. I quickly earned the nickname “mulehead”.

All of that was fun compared to the holes that developed in my fingers.

Air temp was 33 degrees. Steady wind driven deluge. Wearing yellow slicker and matching pants. They were mine. That is. I was working out in the elements previous to this instance

I swung a pick. Green serpentine.

We could not use a back hoe at the location.

I wore borrowed rain boots. Got some fungus.

I was working for free on a Saturday. As service. The location was a meditation retreat center. Quiet. Hence no back hoe. I was in good shape. Swinging a pick on serpentine is my toughest.

Working in the distribution center warehouse for Academy one summer. Making minimum wage, dealing with a bunch of bs, working with complete idiots. A couple of guys would pull out one of the pallets and make a little place to take naps during the day on the clock. It was kinda depressing seeing 60 year olds working hard in the heat for shite money.
