My worst job and the other guys job...
It was the mid 80's. Way before IT for me. I worked in a plant that processed chickens. I basically stood on the prod line and packed chicken parts on swing shift. To make it worse? I was trying to be a 100% commissioned Insurance Salesman during the day and I sucked at it. From suit to rubber boots and a long butchers smock with dinner (Mickey D's) thrown in between.
But the guy who had the worst job there? He sat on a stool in a rain suit with a charcoal respirator on all day. He slit the throat of EVERY bird (thousands a day) that came in that place just after they got an electrical shock to knock them out. They bled on to the floor which was basically a big plastic catch basin with a drain in the middle. By lunch time, the blood had coagulated (sp?) enough that it would no longer drain and was a foot deep where he was sitting. A hose with hot water was used to wash it all down in to the 250 gallons containers below which were then hauled off to the dog/cat food plant (I assume). By the end of the day, being within 10 feet of that guy made you want to vomit.
