    I think the one job I wouldn't do now, that I have done when I was younger, was cucumber polisher.

    Fish canning factory worker ( - the smell darling, the smell)

    Gut sausage (andouille) factory worker (don't even ask!)

    Teaching in a French state school (nerves won't stand it)

    Housewife (bored out of my tiny brain)

    Wouldn't consider if offered?

    Terrorist (too mouthy - stand out like a sore thumb in a crowd, not the ideal for a suicide bomber)

    Drug dealer (no that really is a moral decision)

    Fashion model (I hate being the Before picture in the Before and After articles)

    I'd work in all but the first one. Mind you, the last one I'd probably be asked to leave after about an hour.

    I hope you mean this literally, ZM.

    For some reason, I'm thinking it's "code" for actually doing something else... ;)

    I actually worked in a morgue once. It was quite fascinating, not to mention a good lesson in impermanence!

    You know, my mind is just a mess, so don't ask me for clarification.

    As for Simon, I'm glad to "know" someone that has had those sort of experiences - but I don't know if I could have done that. I'm sure he has some great stories though.

    My life is just tooooooo boring.

    Actually,

    I was making a comment earlier in this thread about a job that ZM had once - a cucumber polisher.

    Now, if that ain't full of double entendre, I don't know what is!

    Why would one need to really polish a cucumber (literally...don't be getting any ideas, bf)? I wish ZM was here to explain that a little further for us!

    "Erotic" wasn't really the word I would have used. Something more like "weird", "strange", or "a big fat waste of time and energy" are more like it.

    Police Officer - negative, confrontational, unhappy work.

    Yes. You spend your work life being lied to and despised by most of the people you come into contact with, it tends to alter you at a very basic level. I was (and am again) a very happy person with a friendly demeanor and a helpful attitude, after two years on the job I hated everyone EXCEPT my fellow officers and my family. It's very much "us vs. them"...and yuo are "them".

    Then there are the weak and incompetent people who's desire for authority draw them to the job, they begin as morally bankrupt individuals and evolve into the the kind of degenerates you see profiled on the news.
