Mine does, today.

I'm defleshing a pig skeleton by boiling it. I started on Friday, but couldn't get into the building over the long weekend to work on it. So now I'm boiling bones that have been sitting in a pot of water for three days. Pretty smelly.

Hopefully the rest of it that has been in the fridge won't smell as bad. I'll be working on it for the rest of the week, probably.

be glad it is not the monster pig in the other post... :?
my job is okay at the moment, I was stressed because things are starting to go wrong but have chilled and think well the worst than can happen is the sack, then I would leave and reinvent myself again.

Simultaneously, yes and no. I like a lot of the people I work with, and am in a good position. Some of the company politics, however, are the worst. We have no communication here for example. Today, my job sucks, but it may be good tomorrow.

Thanks to the mind-numbing horror of my job, there are very few days at the moment when I don't feel the need to slaughter everything in my path.

I had a stinky job for 7 years. I consulted to the meat industry - treating injured workers. They had bits of meat and poo all over them.

Often in the car on the way home I'd be pulling bits off meat off my clothes.

I enjoyed the work though. But it did stink!

I looooove my job now. But sometimes the patients do smell! :lol:

My job stinks already, but it is expected to stink more over summer. One of my tasks includes cleaning out the wheelie bins, and, in the heat of summer, involves MAGGOTS and ROTTING FOOD!, eeeeughhhh! 8O

I have no sense of smell, so I don't really know. If I work in a computer lab again I might decide to microwave several bags of popcorn for ten minutes each and see what happens.

I clean up the diahorrea, vomit, pee, and other unmentionables of 70+ dogs

And I can't pet the dogs I like because they invariably love to eat poo as well as roll in it

Such is my life
