Also worked at, I kid you not, Mr. Steak, the local low cost red meat dispensary. Was a busy busy restaurant and if you were a dishwasher there, as I was when I started, your jobs included picking thru all the garbage to sort out silverware that got accidentally tossed in there, cleaning the hood fans and filters, and also emptying the grease trap in the sewer line once a week. No gloves.
To this day I'm still not afraid to get my hands dirty!
Somewhat surprisingly, when I worked as a mucker at a horse ranch about ten years ago when I was in grad school, that was one of the best jobs I ever had, even though I came home covered head-to-toe in horse shit everyday.
"...pay us kids $20 a tail to sit and peg coyotes on their range leases..."
A month or so back, the Deer hunter dudes whacked one of the local Coyotes, and brought the Dead guy back in out of the woods to potentially show Game Warden.
Hüsky howled very Musically for about ten minutes; I interpret that as His Funeral Dirge. Although he's aware those guys would Kill H.I.M. at the first opportunity, he was expressing His sentiments and condolences.
Wish I had an audio recording. Beautiful and haunting Song to the departed Coyote soul and Wild Universe. He really went on for quite a while, with a couple short breaks to catch His breath.
Mine was working 3rd shift at the 2 litter plastic bottle manufacturing plant. I would stand for 8 hours by the conveyor belt where four lanes merged to two lanes. My job took about 30 seconds of training.
There are guys who work 9-10 months every year cleaning, blasting and painting shit tanks in Newark. The plant pumps out the tanks first but there's like a foot left usually that has to be pumped manually inside the tanks by the painters. You work like 60 hrs a week and prob make like 100k in 9-10 months but the job is how it's described, shit tanks in Newark.
My worst job was as an "Instructional Assistant" at a middle school. They basically lied to me when describing the job, as once I started it turned out to be nothing more than a guard/keeper for a bunch of SED (severely emotionally disturbed) boys who were not allowed to be in the general population of the school.
My job was to escort these 11 & 12 year old brats everywhere they went; bathroom, getting their lunch, to & from their rides home, etc. They had to stay inside the classroom during the lunch break and that was my job as well.
They were total shits. They hated me, they hated school, they hated everything. I stopped or broke up fights every day. I quit after one of them spit on me. (The only job I've ever had where I formally, officially quit)
About six years later I heard that four of the eight I was responsible for were in jail, and the one who spit on me was doing serious prison time for manslaughter.
If I had to choose, I'd rather clean shit tanks in Newark than haul ass on those shit tanks in Sunnyvale.
Street sweepers in Tel Aviv. Worked at a restaurant/bar/hotel in 1989 for 4 months and saw the same Palestinian guys sweeping from 6 am till 10 pm. Felt sorry for them.
Speaking of shit tanks in Newark. My good friend was a commercial diver. One of the jobs he took was to swim the the length of an effluent pipe that goes from somewhere in NJ about a mile out to sea stopping to take pictures of the seams every 10 feet or so. He also dove in nuclear power plants, and yes he is still doing fine.
My other friend works at the Oakland sewer plant the one you smell right at the toll plaza. Those giant tanks you drive by are filled with shit, and they are also not expected to make it in a big earthquake. So they have been told that if the quake happens during working hours they will most likely drown in a shit tsunami.

back in high school, the ranchers used to pay us kids $20 a tail to sit and peg coyotes on their range leases.
Then we found mushrooms out there too, and that turned into a whole other new economic opportunity.
I really can't recommend killing coyotes whilst on psychedelics.

It's also not a good idea to grill beef for cheesesteaks on a flattop while you're tripping balls. I thought I was shredding my fingers after a while.

Bar back at a Yuppie bar
Bar back at a Yuppie bar/restaurant in the summer of '87.
Lugged 3 cases of beer bottles at a time through the crowd to replenish the supply.
Also, I had to retrieve liquor from the locked closet.
Damn Yuppies would not clear the way, even with the "pardon me, excuse me" shtick.
I lasted around a month. Left in the middle of an especially rough shift.
Ended up going to Alpine and Pittsburgh shows. I believe I made the right choice.
