worst job

How about the dude that has to adjust the microphone height on the Golden Globes! I love watching that little thing wiggle up and down. Classic! :funn:

Smiley J...I used to be in the event biz. Too much pressure! I guess I just get paniky easily. Not to mention..I worked for a lunatic.

My first "real" job was in the event biz- worked for an exposition/convention contractor. Definitely a job for the young- but I loved the pace. And overcoming the panic moments made me an adrenaline junkie. And the change of pace- Arabian Horse Nationals (can you say Michael Brown?), farm machinery, tire retreaders, North American Livestock show, Episcopalians....we traveled a bit, but the killer was the long days. When I was 9 months pregnant with Will, I was on the show floor 14 hours a day- on my feet. It was a livestock show, so there were plenty of vets around if I went in labor! Mercifully the company was sold when Will was about a year old- I was wearing down fast.

If you had a good wedding planner, she would know what you wanted and would have stopped by the florist well in advance to check and be certain that everything was going as planned. ;-)

That would have been nice. I planned the whole wedding/reception myself. I used to be in the wedding gown preservation business. I had been to numerous bridal shows so I knew what I wanted and what companies I wanted to work with. To this day, I wonder what the heck the florist was thinking! (apparently lost my notes)

Ocean Lover, that is the best avatar yet!

One of the nastiest jobs I've ever heard of were the poor guys who had to clean up the millions of formerly frozen chickens that were stored in a warehouse in the New Orleans area before Katrina hit. By the time they got to cleaning up what was left of the tons of chickens (luckily they were packaged!), they were 30% liquified! Not to mention the safety hazard of the trucks as they skidded on the chicken fat....yuk! And the stench! They were all hauled to a site in Louisiana and buried. You could smell the site about a mile before you ever got there. I'd hate to have been the poor employees stuck dealing with that mess. Bet they won't ever eat chicken again! :shock:

I think you win with that one...

YUK!

Another job I would hate is being paid to watch and ensure that the Sun set every day. That would really stink.

The funnest job would be driving this taxi around SoWal:

i sure would have liked to have this escort me to the airport a couple of months ago...
