Disgusting Jobs

Be hard to top most of those experiences.

But I have cleaned a lot of things especially when I was younger such as 30 years ago. Cleaning inside tanks which were over 100 degrees maybe 110, cleaning in pits with rotten corn etc. with thousands of maggots crawling around.

And the best was right out of high school when for two summers I cleaned the blood pit at a beef slaughterhouse in CO, with many inches of blood having to squeegee it down a drain which went to the blood tank then wash the blood off the floor. And cleaning the gut table which was over 100 feet long as a conveyor belt. Lifting many large cow stomachs off the floor which fell off the belt and pushing them into the trap door which went into the condemned room.
The condemned room is a room where a couple guys cut the cow stomachs open to empty the paunch inside. Never got the pleasure of working in there except to clean it. They padlocked that room to keep them inside or I guess to keep others out, found it interesting they padlocked it.
Which one time I had to go into the condemned room and clean up a mess, messier than usual with over 4 feet of cow stomachs, cow skulls etc. on the floor.

That was in 1977 and still remember it clearly for some reason.

I also burn the waste out of my outhouse every summer on my mtn place, for the hole filled up years ago and I don't want to move the outhouse since there are two springs which I don't want to have it near. Which burning waste and many other jobs are nothing after my first jobs at the slaughterhouse.

Still Middle Management is the most disgusting job I have ever done.

Yea I've worked middle management too.

I vote middle management.

**red lake** · 03-29-2010, 05:56 PM

I think middle management had the most votes too.

The thing with middle management is that you do all the disgusting things and then get crapped on from above and below making it even more disgusting.

OK, OK. Although I wasn't one, being a military aide in the White House has got to suck!!!! (especially in certain administrations).
