Must be the worst...This is a job which my dad's pal had back in the late sixties. Whenever I think I've got a shit job, I always call it to mind and it makes me feel a lot better. He was a student back then, and to earn extra money during the summer hols, when everybody else was shagging and drinking beer, he was working at a smelly sewage treatment plant. In the blazing, muggy heat. Standing over one of the fresh-shit-tanks. All day. His job was to stare into the soup and look for used dunkies, which clog up the machines if people who are having a million times more fun than him flush them down the can after a bit of rumping. Once spotted, he had to use a hook on a stick to hook them out, and dispose of them in a bin. All summer. The pay was shit too. Now *that's* a crappy job!
