Relocating and organizing over 600 storage boxes of files (by hand) from the second story of one building to the second story of another building inside of a week when my real job was covering switchboard / reception during breaks and sick days (among various other duties such as filing, doing bank deposits, promo sales and shipping ... then told a month later I had to do it all over again. And then again just three months later. I tell ya ... insanity and the whole shebang. All the time having to wear professional looking clothes under my covies so I could do the quick change routine when I had to be in the public view. Then, after I'd quit they actually asked me to do it again because no one else would or even knew how. Guess what I said?

Making 300 papier mache carnival masks for a party, in 3 months!
By myself!!!
To make matters worse someone gave out my number to the guests and so I started getting personal requests! It got so that everywhere I went I had sequins in my hair and feathers up my nose.
Going to bed before 3am wasn't an option.
By the end of it I was covered in paint, twitching in my sleep and so high on the varnish that everything was actually ooooooooookay.

Volunteered of all things to help a mate of mine with an Uranium test drilling hole of 4000 feet in -25Fahrenheit [-31Celsius] temperature and I had no idea what I was doing while the project was going on!
Got a 'tip' at least after 2 weeks, but it was horrible! Lesson learned - never volunteer for nothing!

Two years ago, scouring an entire mountainside for 38 hours looking for evidence. In a team of five, we each had 30 minute breaks every 3 hours and four hours sleep. It was cold and wet and I will never forget it in a hurry.

Heathrow Airport. Long hours. Sometimes night shift. Sometimes only two hours' sleep after a party and going to work with a bit of a hangover.

I'd to take those heavy crates of twelve on litre bottles. It's long time ago, but even today I'm still scare of those crates.

I used to throw hundred pound bags in a warehouse for Holly Sugar. We would sometimes lift hundreds of thousands of pounds in a day. Really tough work but god was I in shape.

Being not renewed to my work, I mean losing my job in an instant because of jealousy. I work hard but someone stabbing me from behind.
