[QUOTE="over9five, post: 637696, member: 1401"] I can't think of any really crazy jobs... I went to work for Brinks as a armored car driver. They sent me out blind (sound familiar?) to do the "Prudential route" in downtown Boston. I didn't know Boston at all, so the plan was the guy in the back would yell the directions thru the partition. Did I mention it was the hottest day of the year, and we couldn't run the ac cuz then I wouldn't be able to hear him? Did I mention there's no opening windows in those things? Did I mention I quit at the end of that day?!?!? During the banking crisis in the 80s, I worked for a company that provided armed security for the FDIC when they went in and took over a bank. This was actually a fun job. The FDIC guys were all from the South. Great accents, and they'd always be looking for the best "pie" (pizza, I called it!). Oh yeah, and they always bought...... or the taxpayer did, I guess! But anyhow, one day I'm stationed on the fifth floor hallway of a bank in Boston. There's a window overlooking an alley at one end. So I'm looking down and I see all these cats running around. Weird looking cats.... I mention it to the guy who relieves me, so he takes a look. "Oh, those are rats", he says, "lots of them running around". Yikes, I was 5 floors up, them suckers were HUGE! [/QUOTE]
