Whats the Worst job you ever had?

[sheherazade]

Once upon a time in a call centre during Ramadan. What a hell hole that was. They said we could read when not on a call but we were almost always on a call. I nearly lost my voice and my sanity. One 10/15 minute break in a 5 hour shift.

 

I snuck away to the first aid room one day to pray Asr. Half way through, the crazy supervisor barges in- she must have followed me- and starts shouting at me. The longer I kept quiet, the louder she ranted, when I went into rukuuc she bent down and barked, when I went into sujuud, yup there she was in my ear and face. Two raqacas of Sergeant Major shouting and I finally finish. Calmy I tell her I was praying and it had taken just as long as a toilet break had, could she stop shouting please. She marched after me like a terrier at my heels and for the rest of the shift pointed fingers at me and whispered to the other witches. Wretched people, wretched place. How I wished damnation upon her. After breaking my fast.

I think that is so friggin' cool dude. Ever since I read Stiff -By Mary Roach, I recommend it highly: great read especially if you like understated humor-I become morbidly fascinated with human cadavers and those that tend to it. I'm trying to get into that line of work for the summer actually: just to see if it agrees with me before I decide to pursue it.

 

Keeping my fingers crossed.

^umhm, u said it, the smaller the dog the worse the attitude.

 

Would u like to volunteer and help dig out and bury the dead of the Indonesian earthquake? Your morbid fascination might disappear if u place yourself outside the situational neutrality of a morgue but u'll be doing something reward-worthy.

Agh,I know the feeling. I don't mind the cleaning of the body so much now, but what always gives me the creeps is being in the room while the patient is taking his/her last breath. To think you were in the same room with the angel of death...subxanallah

:eek:

It definitely sounds scary. I don't know how those people at Morges and Forensic labs do it.

I wouldn't want to work in a morgue; I'd rather examine the bodies.

 

If you have information about volunteering (the necessary shots, papers, and protocol: as long as it's not with the red cross), send it my way ina adeer.

^War maandhow, leerka iga jeedhi.

 

I will dig and bury them with clinical detachment: there is no giddiness associated with death ina adeer.

 

I will contribute my time to a worthwhile cause and I'll be rewarded for it soo ma'aha?

My worst JOB? Ms. fickle minded, osmosis prone aka J.Lee

[J.Lee]

LOL.

 

Osmosis prone? You couldn't do better? Find more fitting a term? Disappointing walee: sida thongs baa half a!sed u tahay ina adeer.

Worst jobs? Hmmm have to say I've been pretty lucky, nothing major as far as worst went.

 

Did telemarketer once when I lived just outside Montreal many years ago. I worked one day and never went back.

 

Worked at KFC too. Burned myself daily. Stunk after work, like oil, and the breading. I actually loved working there, walked home with a bucket of chicken every Wednesday, and Friday.

My worest job? loading and unloading UPS trucks. It was a summer job...I quit after 5 hours. Man! that was bad

[-Lily-]

Working in a morgue is cool and terrifying at the same time, but wouldnt do it.

[Bess.]

LOL… JLee I didn't know that u wanted some morgue action. If that is what u want...holler at me...u know i got the hospital connection. 4 ur info...there is nothing morbid about cadavers, unless u r NECROPHILIAC ...they are just there 4 us to learn from and treat them with the respect and gratitude due them ...its cause of them that i have learned many a procedure...next time i am learning how to suture...i am sure one of u will volunteer... :rolleyes: ...i didn't think so!

THE WORST JOB I HAVE EVER HAD....

teaching somali people a citizenship class....by the 2nd day i was ready to drown myself in lake washington...God...if i hear the word...CONSTITUTION...one more time... :mad:

i would rather work at the morgue...atleast the cadavers were not as Infuriating!
