I fail to see how this is a bad job...

ever worked at a restaurant? After a while, you will never want to eat their food again. Now imagine what would happen once you have been doing that job too long....

never mind. As long as I got a free grab in once in a while...I wouldn't care.

something really monotonous and repititious. Such as standing on an assembly line doing the same task 5000 times a day.

This.

And being micro-managed while doing it.

Pretty much describes my job. Call center work...every call is basically one of three. The calls are monitored and dissected to find every possible flaw in them.

But that's basically sales...nothing is ever good enough.

brick stacker at a brick factory.

This.

Or anything to do with concrete, asphalt or other ridiculously heavy shit.

Sorter at FedEx/UPS - my brother did that. It's a paid 8 hour workout.

Roofer - You get really high all the time cuz everyone who is a roofer smokes reefer, but its fucking really hot and dangerous.

Nobodies mentioned "manually masturbates lab animals" - or bull jizz gatherer/inseminator?

Anything having to do with the water treatment plant/sewer system. Pretty much never want to go there.

1: hog masturbator (remember seeing this on the old Daily Show with Kilborn. dude collects pig semen for art. insemenation purposes. only one way to do that...)

2: gynecologist. Don't want to spend my day seeing nasty, moldy vag. Libido = 0. :(

I worked with a guy that did that part time for awhile. He didn't seem to mind, but I think it would suck.

my EMT teacher was a figherfighter that did removals sometimes. He told us about a dead body they were removing in the summer. It was sitting a couple weeks in the house and was fly/maggot infested. The police were there and were wearing masks because it was so foul. The firefighters rolled in and decided to show the cops how real men remove a body. They walked in with no masks and not flinching about the smell. All was going well until my instructor inhaled a fly. He knew where this fly came from and proceeded to vomit all over the crime scene lol. The cops were laughing their asses off. Crime scene clean up can not be fun...

As far as jobs that don't involve dealing with human waste go, after seeing the Wilson-centric episode of House a few weeks ago, I'd say oncologist. I'd likely jump in front of a train after a few days in that position.
