Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
I can guarantee that the IT staff does not do that. We hire contractors to do it instead and we warn them about "Montezuma's Revenge".Originally Posted by godcronos

Sawdust, vermin, pathogens and sewage are the absolute least of your concerns at a treatment plant. There's many other ways to die, and a couple of them are pretty quick.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.

Whats wrong with #3
i think thats a perfectly acceptable trade.
I tried #6 for a month, then it was the single finger salute. My boss was worse than the customers.
Lately I'm that poor broke contractor fighting the rats N vermin in #1. I don't think its that bad of a job, I just hate having ruin a pair of slacks and dress shirt every time I goto work instead of ratty levis and a Tshirt saying something appropriate like "Homeless, will work for food"
Wrong place
Wrong time
Wrong woman
I am a big example for the job no. 1.In a hope, that one day everthing gonna be alright.Still working and my luck that i found this institution.Everybody got their own problems.I have mine.Thats why working on job # 1.Lets see.
