Always thought that man in a white van picking up used diapers to exchange for new ones had it pretty bad.......any others?

The guy who dives in the sewage filtration ponds to remove condoms and other debri from the scrubbers/filters.

DAMN!

Brushing Obama Hussein's teeth..... ..

There was a "rendering plant" in Ft. Smith which turned dead animals into protein feeds. Their employees, when away from their work, could be detected by smell at 60 feet distance on a windless day. That was an evil smell.

Ditto. There are many diving jobs that occur in sewage treatment plants. Ususally in the main digester. The protocol is pretty strict needless to say, with dry suits and double exhausts much like the equipment used for nuke plant diving. There was a diver in Houston who made a treatment plant dive one time and complained of being bitten by something soon after entering the water. Impossible for that to be the case but after enough "Ouch ouch ouch" he was told to come up. As he surfaced, the rest of the crew could see hypodermic needles hanging from multiple locations from his dry suit. As it turned out, some fly-by-night bio-hazard disposal comapany was paying local plant workers cash to dump waste in the treatment tanks. There were some felony convictions as a result. But the poor diver had to go through a lot of blood tests for a while before it could be verified that he was not infected with something.

I can't imagine actually filling out an application for that job. the only thing I can figure is it pays about $1,000,000 per hour!

The local newspaper did a story and it said in Miowaukee they make around 100,000 a year. That was a couple years a go but even so it would take more than that for me to do that job.

Well, it's not hard to make 100K commercial diving but at the end of the day, not many 100K divers work sewage treatment plants unless they are owner/operators. It is generaly relegated to the younger trainee divers on a volunteer basis. I used to have a policy of two times regular rate. If there were no takers I called the client and asked him to move on to the next company.

Really good commercial divers made 170K to 200K the last two years because of Rita and Katrina, By 2009 that will be 90-100K for a seasoned diver in the Gulf of Mexico. We don't have enopugh time or kilobytes to define a "seasoned" commercial diver.

My uncle was a plumber for the Woodland Park snake house.....can't even imagine crawling under to unplug snake turds!!!

The worst I have done is filling gas odorant tanks. We had our gas off of an unodorized pipeline and had to fill small taps once a year. You would eat a big breakfast, lug gallon jugs up to the stations you could not drive to and pour the merco-captan in. No desire to eat the rest of the day nor could you go into any shop anyway. Get home and take your clothes off on the porch, get them in the wash asap. If you ate supper it was a 50-50 chance it was coming back up. Leather had to stay outside for 2-3 days and let the sun work on it, both belts and boots. Glad it was just a once a year thing.
Cleaning drains in a slaughter house and bringing up tails isn't much fun either. Gianni

Maybe cleaning the motel/hotel rooms after Clinton's campaign team moves on to the next town?

Press secretary explaining Bush.

Press secretary explaining Kerry.

the guy that writes and "leaks" confidential clinton campaign notes?

Rosie O's gyno.......

Probably defending anything the Clintoons do that would get you or me thrown into the slammer...
