Oh, I would love to do that! Did you see Anatomy for Beginners?!

Susan, I think people are going to think we're a little morbid!

I think a job I wouldn't like would be the person who collects and cleans out the Sanitary Bins!

I'm pleased i'm not the only one!

Eeeeek we get Initial in to pick up our sanitary bins and replace it with an empty one, but what gets me is the fact that when i have to sign the form to say that it's been replaced, she's wearing the rubber gloves!!

I hope you don't borrow her pen!!

I wonder where it all goes and what they do with it?! I don't think i'd like the job of dealing with it wherever it ends up!!

I sign with my pen but my hand never touches the paper!

I think it all gets burnt in one big incinerator?!

wow could you really do that??? but, thats just me, i feel like fainting when i see a needle
But what susan said, about putting on the makeup etc on the bodies, i think i'd love to do that too, i just find things like that really intresting, as long as it doesnt involve sticking anyform of needle/knife in them

Ick! Handling trash all day and wearing a yucky uniform.

I always make sure I am gracious to custodians. I even complimented one at a department store for keeping the bathroom so nice!

you know, I was just thinking THANK GOD for all of the people who want to do the jobs I am horrified by!!

I mean, someone has to do it, right???

I really envy my friend who does it because he does get job satisfaction if that can make sense?!, plus he's well known and thought very highly of.

sanitary bins..
You know i would love to touch a dead person as long its not all chopped up.
When my cat died i sat there for over 30 mins touching it and patting it
I cant stand the sight of blood but i still want to be a nurse.
Im doing a subject called food technology and i was shivering reading about the types of knives and i nearly threw up from reading
"never place knife at the end of the bench as it may fall"


i think i have a phobia!

I think it would be scary to be a coal miner. I don't get grossed out easily but the job risks of being a coal miner would definitely terrify me. And I know this sounds weird, but whenever i watch any celebreality I always am thankful that I'm not famous because they are virtual prisoners of their houses and can't really do any "normal" things. I don't think the money would be worth it.

I was going to say I could never be a custodian either. ESPECIALLY at an elementary school. I teach in an elemtary school where we have some really great custodians this year. I try so hard to thank them each and everyday becase they are working so hard. And kids are MESSY!! I also would hate to be the school nurse. She has to deal with sick children all day long. I always feel bad when I have to send her one of my 5 years old who has had a potty 'accident'. God Bless these people who are doing the jobs I could never do.

I actually had one of the worse. I worked in a fishery where I had to go into an 6' by 6' by 5 ' deep bit full of fish scales, guts, heads, and various other gunk and clean it out. My company supplied waders had holes in them and I stunk up the whole house when I got home. My cat "Princess Puss" Liked it though.

I know I'll probably be the morbid party-crasher here, but the worst thing (I'll try to put it "kindly") is a pregnancy terminator, if you know what I mean. The absolute lowest form of life there is. Would you marry someone like that? And if you did, what would you say to them at the end of their day?

How about a Pediatric Oncologist ? That has got to be one of the toughest jobs out there.

You work with children and babies who have cancer - and many of them die no matter what you do or how hard you work.

(Shudder)

I would say being a soldier deployed to the Middle East. Nights and weekends off are a pipe dream and they see images every day that stick with them for the rest of their lives. Bravo to them but Bushy couldn't pay me enough to be out in Iraq doing what they're doing!

I would have to say that one of the jobs I really wouldn't want is one for the Port-a-Potties....ew ew ew ew ew ew. Or sewage removal/cleaning septic tanks and such. yuck.

I also couldn't be a mortician, or anyone who deals with dead ppl. Or sick ppl. I don't do so well with that stuff.

Oh well. That's why we aren't all the same!

Worst job ever: Being someone's food tester to make sure they don't get poisoned.

Then I thought about some other jobs that I would hate to have. How about the people who's job it is to go around and scoop up dead animals off the road? What would they be called? Carcass Carriers? Road Kill Revelers?

What is your idea of the worst job in the world?

Haha. I agree with you - the poo thing is pretty bad. Although we sent a patient off once to have his, er, anus (pardon!) scraped for a sample. I wouldn't imagine the lucky person who got to do that job was overly excited.

But I must say, in terms of TOTAL boredom, I think the people that we ring to get authority numbers for certain prescription drugs must have the MOST mind-numbingly stupefying job in the world. I mean, honestly, there's not even any variation in what they do, like there might be on a help desk, just the same thing, over and over and over and over and over. Jeepers makes me shudder just thinking about it!!

I dunno.... I think after you have kids you can kinda deal with the gunk that has to go with it, so to an extent you can deal with it coming from an adult who is ill. I think my idea of the worst job in the world would be one where I don't get any mental stimulation throughout a day. Something entirely mundane.... I could even handle picking up garbage because at least then you're out in the fresh air and you're meeting people and suchlike. Plus over here, it's incredibly well paid. These people are paid as much and sometimes more than teachers and nursing staff, would you believe? Certainly in this area. Even being a postie has it's perks. I can't think off the top of my head what I'd think was the worst. As a portrait artist I don't get much in the way of work, but when I do it's always interesting.
