Portiea: What is the most difficult, wierdest or worst job you've ever had?
I've had so many crappy jobs--boring jobs, terrible bosses, too much commuting, etc., but I guess the strangest was picking mushrooms one summer, years ago, to get traveling money--it's one reason why I now never eat mushrooms.
just off the top of my head I think the worst job I remeber was working on a very large machine press,,,,was set to punch the bolt holes in truck wheels,,,,,I remember after catching about 100 of the wheels from damaging the lower die I lost the use of my elbows,,,took about 6 monthes or more for them to get better.....that was bad,,,I've had so many crappy jobs--boring jobs, terrible bosses, too much commuting, etc., but I guess the strangest was picking mushrooms one summer, years ago, to get traveling money--it's one reason why I now never eat mushrooms.

That reminds me - my colleague at work once needed the winter tires of his car de-studded.... He jokingly offered me to do it and I said sure, just show me how.... The whole office was standing around me making jokes while I patiently de-studded 4 tires for him.

The worst job i ever had was working for a Christian organisation that provided housing for people with
menral health problems. A women moved into one of there properties that had suffered a breakdown,
her marriage had broken down and she had lost her kids, She moved there straight from hospital. She
would bring men back to her apartment which they organisation disapproved of so they decided to evict
her, the police where involved and it was really unpleasant. I believed she should have been supported
and help found for her. I left the job because of the following week because of it.

Oh, the thought of those didn't even enter my head. But I guess you're right, if it was on some farm somewhere, it probably was boring.------ This thread is Archived ------

Commercially grown mushrooms are grown in buildings which are shaped like green houses, long, narrow, one story, but have no windows. Mushrooms thrive in the dark. On each side and in the middle of the narrow building, there are shelves about 4 feet wide and separated by about 3 feet vertically and four feet horizontally. This is where the mushrooms grow. When you pick them, you have to wear a hat with a light on it so you can see what you're doing. The light has a battery strapped around your waist. You have to straddle between the shelves on the side and in the middle for footing, and you have to bend over the shelf to pick the mushrooms in the center of the shelf and near the wall. Also, mushrooms are gown in a planting/soil mixture of about 90% cowdung and 10 percent earth. You get to wear rubber gloves. When you go on break, outside, there are piles and piles of steaming dung sitting around...it is so
One day my battery pack leaked and by the time I got home, I almost had no pants left--the battery acid ate holes through my jeans.

Oh, and most of the people doing this work are illegal immigrants. One day a whole busload of them was carted away and sent back to Mexico.
It's work Americans do not want to do and of course the pay is minimal.------ This thread is Archived ------
Thanks, that was a *vivid* description... if it wasn't so dark... Poor you, I take that back, but I'd still love to pick mushies (not the magic ones!) in the woods. Can't wait for the season to begin!

When I was about 12, I used to clean out hog houses for a farmer. Whopping $1.00 an hour.
Upside, my income had doubled since then.
