    RE: The worst job in the world.

    man I gave some good constructive criticism... I mean that's helpful stuff for your future writings whereas just giving you a hug and saying "good job mal" is good feedback for the psyche but worthless in terms of improving your skills.

        Reminds me of Collateral...

        "Someday my dream will come"... One night you'll wake up and you'll discover it never happened. It's all turned around on you and it never will. Suddenly you are old... didn't happen and it never will 'cos you were never going to do it anyway.
        That was a great movie. =)

          RE: Re: RE: The worst job in the world.

          To add to the worst-list of bad jobs... you should consider the fast food industry. I've read a load about the job, and it seems really undesirable. Yes, I'm thirteen (or fifteen by join-in date), but it doesn't mean I know about it.

          -You work at the meat-cutting industry in a closed warehouse full of cattle, ready to be sliced and diced into patties. You cut off pieces of the cow like the leg and thigh, making sure it fits into the container to be meat-drained. The place is drenched in cow blood, and the slaughterhouse fogs up so thick, you'll suffocate in cattle guts. You wear chain mail, yet still happens to cut yourself through with a saw. To get pay, you have to work in such conditions so poor, you'd rather be a target in a firing range than smell like cow blood for weeks. If you're a woman, you might have to please the boss a little before gaining pay. Oftentimes, you'll have to have sex with the manager on the bloody floor, often for less than minimum pay.

          -You work as a sanitarian for the slaughterhouse, cleaning up the place every night so that the illegal immigrant workers won't die so quickly on the job. The place appears condemmed, full of the awful stench and virtually uncleanable. Yet, your job must be finished before the workers come every 6:00 AM. Sometimes, you'll die trying to clean the worst of the warehouse, dying of sulfuric-like poisons. There's no way to be saved if you fall in one of the tubes; rescue workers will die of the same fate. Your stench will go through the suit, making you stink for days.

          Read the book, The Fast Food Nation. It's got a huge history of fast food, the conditions, and the corruption of this job. I'm pretty sure you'll think this is job above a lot more gruesome than what MalReynolds can ever make up.

            I think it absolutely depends who you are.

            I think being an executioner would be the worse job ever... as I'd simply break down and end up in some mental institute.
            Prostitution... that would be so degrading and sick.

              Who knows? The person might enjoy paid sex. Executioner, I don't see much too bad about it. Unless they force you to kill loved ones, then that's a problem. But who wouldn't want to slice off Osama Bin Laden's wang off? Well, it really depends on the situation. The story I told, there is no imaginable way to enjoy or have fun in the job. Just tiring, dangerous, poor-paying work.

                  You want to hear about Dead End Jobs try working at Krogers, or any Fast food joints such as mcdonalds, taco bell, or buger king. There is no such thing as promotions in Kroger and the highest you get in fast food is shift manager. To get anywhere else you have to be related to somebody, not just know them, but be family.

                    We all know who your connections are Percy. You ever threaten a man on this block again we're all gonna have a go. The job be damned.
