stripping labels off of thousands of cases dog food cans by hands so they could be relabeled by another company. Hot work, dusty dried glue from the labels floating in the air and on contact with perspiration becoming reconstituted again into glue allllll over your body, hair, face and gumming up on your hands. The worst part was the thirst as we breathed the powdered glue and had breaks at the little saloon across the street from the factory, where 8 ounce 3.2 beer was sold for a nickle (5 cents) was our only break room. By three o'clock in the afternoon I was dripping in glue and hammered. I lasted a week.
Best job was working as a Unix 'pilot' for programmers at Accenture in Minneapolis, MN. I sat at a computer console and typed in a script as the programmers hovered over me watching the results. They paid me $45.60 USD an hour. I had that job for 7 months.
