I learnt to mount birds a long time ago

[Mich the Tester]

Seeing as I graduated in a recession, I had to take any job available. I spent two years working as a plastic welder in sewage installations, fitting plastic protective covers to the concrete. In a sewer, ye olde shytte sticks to the concrete, and in dry weather, if the concrete dries out, ye shytte falls off and take great chunks of concrete with it. The plastic linings were intended to prevent the adhesion of turd to the cloacular walls.

It paid very well for a shytte job, and I learnt a valuable lesson; if you want good money, do a job that nobody wants to do; so I became a tester.

I suspect I graduated at about the same time, late 80's. Jobs that kept me afloat included working in a crab processing plant in Cornwall. Worst job I've ever done and I quit after a week.

Others included selling discount cards for restaurents door to door, security guard and motorcycle courier.

Late 80s here and I did my share of tulip jobs that I still use as motivation when I'm bored tulipless. 12hr night shifts in a bakery and working in an ice cream factory on a production line are the ones I remember with horror.

A guy that I used to work with told me how during the Blitz in the war it was his job to go around collecting pieces of meat from bombsites where bodies had been blown apart, burned etc, and he had to collect a certain weight to enable a funeral.... just a pound was required from what I remember.
