Sass, WOW! Thanks for sharing such happy, happy info here!!
Man, I'll never understand the cruelty of humans disposing animals in such a manner. However, I have learned something here. That hole that people make pee-pee and doody into
doesn't actually wind up in China. Hmmpphh. Who'd-a-thunk it?

I know, Rach. I'd become just plain loopy after a few days of that.
I suppose they see some interesting people now and then, but nothing to write home about. zzzzzzzzzz!!!

That is funny Spitfire
When I lived in Nevada I was a state contractor and did maintenance on the local rest area's. My job was to rake and clean out the bottom half of porta-potties. The thing is that people see a dark hole when looking into the toilets and assume that is goes to China, but in reality it only goes down 10 feet. We would find animals dumped into the bottomless pit constantly. Cut up deer, fish, and beloved pets. I use to have to incorporate chemicals and rake them through with wood chips to keep the smell down. I was paid really well so I didn't complain much. What bothered me the most was how people would dump a once living creature so easily. I have to say though that emergency room doctors and nurses probably witness some seriously grody things and I wouldn't do their job for all the money in the world. Second would be the state workers that have to clean up all of the road kill.

Man, Jimmy. Sounds like that job truly sucked the big one!
But, as far as cleaning up crime and accident scenes, I might have agreed with you until my experience the other day. You can read about it in my Diary of a Clairsentient Witch Blog. Read my last two posts in it and you'll understand why!

Valet Runner-somebody who runs to park and retrieve cars. They have to run all the time. Then, they run like hell but don't drive the car back to fast-might crash it. But, its okay to destroy their knees. Then, they get to look for cars that somehow got misplaced.

Putting Bug tents on peoples houses would suck...
you'd get too much exposure to the chemicals...and they suck! but the worst job I ever had, and I've had some bad ones, was shoveling golf ball sized gravel around foundations in Colorado...you have to do it for freeze-thaw stability, so the ice doesn't crack footings...but it is boring, boring, boring ...and painful, even with gloves the blisters come out thick, and break, and the gloves stick to your palms, and hurt....bogus job...quit after two days...
Both septic tank cleaners and crime scene cleaners make big bucks...septictanks no way, crime scenes, it might be interesting for a while....

LOL Quirky!! I actually asked my dental hygenist one day
why she choses to pick things out of people's teeth for a living. She just laughed and said, "Only
you would ask me that!"

englishwoman, yeah, that would suck, but I actually think
I've already done that. Not on purpose, mind you, but having it spat at me at work! That and many different types of medications. I must say, Strongid-T which is a liquid deworming med is supposed to taste like bananas. It does!
