Pool Cleaner - The pay was great but it was hell! I worked for a friend who owned a pool cleaning company. We would go to a HUGE Olympic sized community pool, pump all the nasty water out, shovel out all the rocks, leaves, dead frogs, snakes etc. Hose it down, then pump out again.
Then, standing at the bottom in only rubber boots and a swimsuit, they would pour sulfuric acid off the edge into a trash can I was holding while trying not to breathe. (no OSHA rules back then)
Then I poured the burning acid on the floor and walls and scrubbed every inch. As the pool got extremely white, my eyes started to burn, my skin was sunburned and my lungs were burnt from the acid fumes. All my clothes had holes in them from the acid. Then taking a sledge hammer to the entire rim of the pool and replacing all the edge stones.
Plus riding around in the back of the truck with leaking sulfuric acid drums.
I'm surprised I survived. Not fun at all.

i presumed slicing grass and pulling weeds in the process the warm, humid, Florida summers became undesirable. Then I went to artwork at a quickly foodstuff chinese language eating place; the hours have been loopy, working over a steam table became uncomfortable, I continuously smelled like the foodstuff, and then our eating place became robbed. i became sixteen years previous, final out the money sign up, and a former worker entered by way of a returned door on an analogous time as all the different workers have been taking away the trash. He locked the returned door; and got here as much as me, stated hi, and then placed a meat cleaver to my throat and took the money from the door. stupid me, I argued with him somewhat; i'm very fortunate that he did no longer slice open my throat.

Making a video game with a group of hopeless teenagers, I know it sounds stupid but trust me it's even worse than cleaning toilets (How?)
1-lack of experience
2-teenage problems
3-bad planning

My first job was the worst! I worked in a small store that sales most things for $1. Kinda like Family Dollar, the difference is that it is independent small business. I worked as merchandiser. My boss required me to do everything fast, even with heavy things. When it came to throw garbage, if container was full I had to step up on that to compress! The job paid minimum wage and I was treated the worst among the other workers, particularly because I was only one foreigner. They never admitted me to work on cash registers. In addition, once when I noted coke bottles were expired, I reported that to my boss! But she instead to request me to remove them, she wanted me to keep as the date of expiration was hardly noticed. She also gave away all employes free expired food like snacks. That what she did was illegal. I also had to mop everyday floor and clean bathrooms.

Working in a meat market having to clean out the saws and slicers, having to wipe the blood off the walls and mop it off the floors, having to clean the butcher block with a steel brush, having to wash dishes and clean out all kinds of disgusting gunk from drains and grease traps, and having to watch what they put in sausage (to this day I haven't touched the stuff).
