Hardest job you've ever done?

[steve45]

Since then I've worked in several active war zones, done 98 hour weeks, worked in temperatures below -30C and above 40C and would take it over working on a checkout ever single time

definitely!


Current job, easily the hardest job i've done and i've tryed many different things in my life, but its also the most enjoyable and rewarding job i've ever done, so many highs an so many lows, the mates more than make up for the low points though.

My job is hard, I work as an escort....

I was a carer for a disabled child (at home and at school) for 11 years. I never had more than a week away from him at a time, and I rarely had a lunch break or indeed any type of break in those 11 years.

It was still the hardest thing I ever did to quit.

Working in a job center where your regular clients are the dregs of society

Nasty.

Trouble sitting afterwards?

 

[SkodaMart]

Cleaning boats. That sucked, money was rubbish as well.

Scrapin' barnicles off a salty hull, good honest work lad!

The comments from the military people remind me to stop moaning how hard the job is.

I agree.

Hospital, Police, Fire brigade all do a hard job as well.

Turn a house that was previously made in to what can only be described as a squat into a sellable/working/clean house.

My current one, Home shopping driver. Manager is a goon, long hours of driving, lifting heavy boxes all day. Collegues constantly mucking up a relatively simple task leaving you embarrased at the customers door missing half their shopping.

Trainee seedsperson, viability testing of certain seeds ready for implantation in fields then transferred to sites around the country; hardest thing was waking up at 3am and working outside in a -19 wind-chill and in all types of weather. One other one was visiting Goodyear tyres in Wolverhampton (working as a lighting technician), hot as hell! Carbon black everywhere, really tough place to work, good job I was only there for a week, couldn't handle it anymore; did see the racing tyres truck though.

Installing CCTV in tower blocks, the kinda tower blocks that need CCTV due to the eye watering levels of crime, vandalism, and anti social behaviour being commited by the tenants of said tower blocks.

God help you if you left a wire spool, set of tools, step ladder etc un attended for longer than 5 secs, ive never seen such rampant mindless theft, wether or not they had a use for it, it would get nicked.

Oh & as for the mobile toilets ( lifts to you & me ), just wow...

Done a bit of Healthcare Assistant work over the summer. FML is it ever hard, working in a major hospital in A&E is absolutely mental. I have so much respect for nurses who do it all day everyday. Not getting breaks and miserable patients who disrespect staff and being stood up for hours is probably the worst bits. Oh and retards who come to A&E with a stomach bug cos it hurts

I've been involved with full rewires in the flats of said tower blocks.

Working at an American army base, lifting dangerously heavy objects with no rest for minimum wage, then getting fired for speaking out about how ridiculous the job was.

 

[UncleRuckus]

Working on a spud farm was probably the physically hardest job i've done. Trailers of mud and spuds coming down a conveyor belt we had to throw clumps of mud and stones down a hole while to spuds carried on down the line to be cleaned.

This was outside under a tarp standing on the spot for hours on end getting blasted by the wind, ending each day with my back in spasm.

I bloody slept well though.

Life with muscular dystrophy, but who said anything worth having is going to be easy.

 

[Raikiri]

Assistant chef, 11-12 hour days in a kitchen that would often hit 40c, eating on the go etc.

People and distances they think they've walked debate.

I used the GPS on my phone once, 12.4 miles.

 

[Rozzy85]

Repairing waste water pumps. The smell was ungodly and when we had a really bad one the smell stuck with me for the rest of the day that I could taste while eating my dinner. Maccy D's are the worst offenders. Chav excrement and burger fat make a concoction strong enough to dissolve cast iron.

Then there's the Farmers. Just don't get me started on the brain dead, tight Farmers.

I need a new job.

Hardest job for me was a Removal man, I'm glad it was only ever a summer job.
