Hardest Job You've Done?

Probably when I worked where we made all natural food coloring and flavors.
the three worst jobs all involved grinding stuff into powder.

1) without a doubt it has to be the garlic powder we made that Hunt Wesson used in their BBQ sauces and stuff.
It entailed grinding about 200-300 lbs of dried garlic chips into a powder and then mixing that with a liquid garlic concentrate.
I would have to get geared up in a Tyvek with a breather and tape up every opening a still a few pounds worth of powder would find it's way in and onto my skin where it would leave literal burns.

2) same type of procedure as above but with onion powder/juice

3) again grinding stuff into powder and adding liquid, this time red beet juice powder and beet juice concentrate. By the time I was done with that stuff I would look like I slaughtered a dozen people because the sweat and beet powder would make this sticky goo the consistency and look of fresh blood.

thank God there was a shower there.

 

When you have a baby come out of your penis I won't question how hard being a parent is for you.

 

Thanks Asmo! I'm around a little. Not sure if "back" is the right term but thanks!

I'm not afraid of him. haha. I strive for mediocre. Anything above that is a bonus.

I had a c-section because I gave birth to a toddler. Does that still count?

 

Watch out for the stomach virus going around. Super fun trying to watch kids and run to the bathroom to unload at the same time

 

great advice

 

Somebody has to lie under a machine take all these Knives out regrind them reset them and put them back in (guess who ) every week !! I buy Allen keys 1.5 mm 2000 at a time

 

Was the operation on your penis?

 

Negative. I would never let a dr near my penis with a knife. My stomach on the other hand...cut me open and get that 10 pound baby out of me.

 

I don't think any were that difficult.

I know I started work at one job at 4am and then at 10pm during the Christmas Season.

Another job was hard because of the long hours and also because I had a long walk to and from that job most days.

 

i dont take the hard jobs...fuck that

i just do easy jobs that pay well

 

Hauled two fat women uphill in a rickshaw bike late one night.

 

i think the hardest jobs i've ever done, were the times i was homeless and had no source of income.
the second hardest would have to be tolerating the attitude of managers who don't think their employees deserve as much dignity as themselves.

really its the human side, and all the stress that comes from it, that makes any job hard.

 

Despite having done my fair share of farm work and doing everything from copywriting to managing multiple client accounts worth millions of dollars, the hardest job I've ever had was waiting tables in college.

Being caught between the demands of the customer and the egos of the cooks takes a special personality type, and I'm not it. When I eat out now, I always tip well and go out of my way to be a very low-maintenance diner.

 

It gets easier when they reach the age of about 25. LOL

 

• Labouring on building sites.

Extended stints of weeding in public parks.

 

Order picking (warehousing).

 

I lasted 1 day working in a restaurant when I was a student,
The last straw was when a customer complained to the manager that when he had complained to me about how long I had taken to serve his chicken curry,
I had told him that the chef had to run around the yard for 10 minutes trying to catch the chicken.
You can never please some customers.
