Reply #19: Not a job, but something I had to do for my job [View All]

Part of my job involves going on-site to different employers and getting information on specific jobs. I had a client once who worked in a sausage casing company. I went in to the reception area, and no problem. Then I had to go to the back where they cleaned the casings (ya'll know what casings are made of, right?). The absolutely most putrid, nasty smell EVER! I was in there for half an hour, and think I took the minimal amount of breaths necessary to keep myself alive. That smell was in my nose of days, and it also took days for me to not be nauseated any more! GACK!

Fortunately, most of these employer visits have been pretty cool, like when I used to do a lot of Boeing case work, and crawled around in 747's; when I did one for a client who cleaned trash and empty food trays out of airplanes at SeaTac Airport and got to help hook a 737 up to a tug (the little vehicles that tow the planes); and to a flour plant, and so many different things. I love seeing how things are done, but no more sausage casing factories for me!
