"Six Items a Day of Enduring Insignificance"
------------------------------------------------------------
Greetings Infomaniacs,
While relaxing and talking at the housewarming party on
Saturday, the discussion turned to the worst jobs we've ever
had.
One of my friends said her worst job was working at a funeral
home and having to go into the embalming room alone at night
sometimes. Another friend hated his summer painting job
because he had to climb ladders and he's petrified of heights!
I've been pretty lucky with the jobs I've had, but I really
didn't enjoy having to bake when worked at a bagel shop. It
involved getting there around 3:30 a.m. and loading up all
the bagel dough onto oven racks while standing in the ice
cold walk-in freezer! I don't miss doing that.
However, after learning about some of the weird jobs that
actually exist out there, it makes the stuff I've had to do
seem like no big deal. Check out some of these jobs that you
will you feel a little better about your work...
Enjoy!

RANDOM TIDBITS
Odor Tester - Some chemist has to make sure that all of
those deodorants and anti-perspirants are operating properly
to keep their users free of funk!
***
Citrus Fruit Dyer - There are commercial farmers out there
who dye citrus fruit a more vibrant color to hide the ripe-
ness of the fruit.
***
IMAX Screen Cleaner - Someone has to make sure that huge
screen is crystal clear for our viewing pleasure.

Light Bender - Making neon lights seems like it would be a
relatively easy job, but it requires a lot of precision and
electrical work. If the lights don't have the proper thick-
ness and shaping, they will amount to nothing more than
broken glass.
***
Weed Farmer - Weed farmers actually grow weeds rather than
trying to get rid of them. They sell them to horticulture
schools and labs so various people can do research and
studies on them.
***
Cow Hoof Trimmer - Just like horseshoes, cows need some
hoof maintenance too. Cows can have poor milk production,
lameness, and decreased fertility if not properly groomed.
