Howdy! One of the nastiest jobs I've had was working for a local carpet cleaner who also did fire and flood restoration. I would highly suggest that for an upcoming episode. Some of the places were ok, and some of the places would make you sick. I remember one place that I had to use a scoop shovel on all the dog turds that were in house. I would have replaced the carpet, but the owner wanted it cleaned instead. Besides cleaning up poop, pee, gum, tar, paint, coffee, wax, and God knows what else...we also cleaned up people's places after they had a fire or flood. Nothing starts your Monday off until you boss tell you that someone's basement as been flooded with raw sewage. (YAY!) While wearing a rain suit of sorts and tall rubber boots, you have to take everything out of the person's basement while knee-deep in human excrement. After the sludge had been pumped out, you get to pull out the soaked carpet that has been sitting down there all this time. Fun stuff! (NOT!)

Another nasty job I had was helping out a neighboring farmer while all is kids were away at the county fair. Since they were all in 4-H, he had no one to help him around the place. Apparently he had been saving the "good jobs" for me...which means thathe had jobs that his kids refused to do. One of them was working in the irrigated corn fields. It was hot, humid, and bugs constantly biting you. The "best" job he had for me was picking up all the dead sheep that have been out fermenting in the summertime sun for who-knows-how-long. They were all over the place! I did not puke...but I came close a couple of times. He had me in the irrigation ditch with a pitchfork fishing out pieces of dead sheep that came out in pieces. The ones that were on land were ok as long as they stayed in one piece. I usually hooked on to them with a chain and he pulled them off with his tractor. Sometimes a leg would come off exposing the rotting flesh, gas, and the maggots that they were filled with.
