Crap jobs

[Norlye]

I'm not a vet, but despite getting to see loveable pets every day, and paid well, I think it would be one of the worst jobs in the world having to put a dog down. I'd be in tears every day.

My daughter always wanted to be a vet until she did a weeks work experience at a local vets.
She said all she did for a whole week was cuddle animals as they waited to die.
It certainly isn’t All Creatures Great and Small.

Must be the hours that make chefs alcos and psychopaths. Working them split shift rosters must be absolutely f'd

Brother in law is the head chef at a medium size hotel.

The pressure for the money he gets is insane.

He doesn’t use his all of his leave, as the agency usually chefs balls things up and the restaurant goes to pot, leading to bad reviews and less custom.

The hours he works are insane for the money and he’s constantly fighting with the hotel owner, over how to run the kitchen and the suppliers.

He works split shifts, frequently goess in on his days off early for no pay, to sort stuff out.

He looks after his staff though and they all drink together - they don’t half drink though !

Not a crap job, I loved it, but a “crap” job.

Trainee Medical Lab science officer at Fazakerley hospital, testing various samples of all types of bodily fluids, wound drains and dressings, swabs and anything else you can think of. Lovely, smelly interesting work for a budding trainee microbiologist.

From any poor individual who had returned home from far flung holidays with various stomach complaints or lava-bum, We used to receive paint-tin sized steel tubs of loose excrement, which we had to culture, sample and then grow any bugs from.

One particularly hot august day, I was left to my own devices in the poo lab, with several tins to work on. They had been left on the lab top, in direct sunlight.

Being a naive young lad, I noticed a low weird, hissing sound that I had not heard in the poo lab before, but paid it no mind.

Needless to say, when it came to opening the poo paint tin for sampling, the contents were excited to be free, hot, fizzing and fermenting, and before you could say tetanus, I had redecorated the lab walls, ceiling and myself with week old infected liquid bum gravy.

Good times. I’ve had worse jobs since.

I have worked on the bins before, up very early, awful smells, angry public but it was a good laugh at times.

One of my sisters went on a first date with a bin man.
She spent the afternoon getting ready to go out and when she got there the fella was dressed in his bin gear.

I used to have to do a combo of bike and train to get to where the depot was and at the end of shift (big upside of the job is you are finishing when most people are taking their lunch breaks in a normal job) Id be coming back on the train and some day's I could clear the carriage in 5 secs flat lol, Id sit down and you would see some old woman sat across get up and move down a few seats and id be like 'Yup I smell again'

Hard labour jobs like concreting and bricklaying. Respect to the people that do that on a daily basis.

There’s a big thing about getting youngsters in the trades now governments pushing it etc. All good and well but being self employed in the trades is rough got to find your own work 99% of the time and you get spoken to like dirt at times. Body done in by 50.

Industry full of liars and bullies highest suicide rate of any industry in country! Stats don’t lie!!!

I lasted 3 days sat in a laboratory counting empty test tubes and placing them in boxes. Some of the people there were loving showing that they could be the quickest to fill a box…. I could feel my life draining away by the second as I slowly plodded on.

Worst was a chicken factory in Holland for two weeks! Really good money but it turned me veggie for 4 years afterwards !
Hardest was a fisherman in Scotland We were out for 5 to 7 days each time with the nets coming in every hour.
Gruelling it was and Chuffin dangerous too.
Lasted the winter and was loaded by the time I left though.

Loved my groundworking days, a concrete pour starting at 7am in the middle of winter and continuing for 10 hours….. wonderful

Working on Joeys weed farm.

Fifteen hour days, a tenner a day, with a fiver a day deducted for board and lodgings.

Me and Eight Albanian lads living in a two man caravan, existing on a diet of tinned tomatoes, chick peas and Makway curry.

Meanwhile Joey is driving around in a solid gold Vauxhall Astra and feeding his goldfish Truffles.

Worked part time as a teenager on a farm that had battery hen sheds, sweeping the floors.

Never ate chicken again after that and eventually went full veggie a few years later.

Every time I went in, I`d be rescuing chickens that had fallen through the bars of their cages onto the floor below and would`ve died from lack of food/water and all the faecal matter that was raining down on them.

The owner didn`t give a flying one and would`ve happily just left them there to die.

Only lasted a couple of weeks, as it was affecting my mental health so badly.

Heard similar stories some of the lads worked on a site next to a chicken factory. Sounded utterly grim apparently the smell was awful.
