I also spent a couple of days at a brick factory taking bricks of the molds and stacking them on pallets. That got old real fast.

I wonder if pulling insulation bats from a ceiling and loading them into a trailer to be reused later on a hot and humid summer day counts as one up on that one. That was an... itchy job, and i was coughing up "hairballs" at the end of the day despite wearing a dust mask. Still though, i think i hated the retail job i had more.
I must be odd, I'd rather bust my ass in a ditch or do some kind of manual labor then deal with workplace politics or customer service. It's much more honest and straightforward.
