Last week we asked folks to post their worst job ever. The best story got a copy of 'You think your job stinks!' by Patrick Regan.

Well we got more than 50 responses and it came down to two entries.

'cembad' with this tale:

"Chain saw operator at a rendering plant during the summer. Imagine a bloated animal carcass that has been 'ripening' in the hot sun for a day or two and is too large to feed into the process. You get to be the person to reduce it to parts small enough to fit."

And mtracy with this tale:

"Working at a feedlot, my brother and I had to clean out infected scrotums on steers which had been castrated and transeferred from Mexico. This involved picking off the scab which had formed, and scooping out the pus, and following up with disinfectant. No, we did not have gloves. Not a pretty sight or smell. At least the steers were happier afterwords. This was about the time I decided to go back to college."

After consulting our crack staff of bad job judges it basically came down to a tie. So we flipped a coin and mtracy came out the winner. Congrats!

Welcome to Free Stuff, our new blog and junk distribution system. If you read this you will learn that the Californian is inundated with weird junk every day. From books to CDs to t-shirts to drain cleaner.

Because of our journalistic ethics we cannot accept these items and they generally are sold/auctioned off for charity. But many items never get sold.

So we're gonna give you all a chance to clutter your home with some of this stuff.

I'm hoping to post a new item each week, but we'll see how the flow of cool junk goes.

So without further ado our first item is a little book called 'You think your job stinks' by Patrick Regan. In it he has photos and short one-liners about some nasty jobs. This is one of those annoying books they keep by the cash register at the book store. The kind you peruse but never buy.

Anyway, here is your chance to own it. All you have to do is share your story of the worst job you ever had.

Mine was working at a parking citations office, answering the phone and handling 'complaints.' Let's just say I will never be shocked or offended at anything people say to me on the phone. I've heard it all.

So share your story and if we deem it the best at the end of the week (or maybe next Monday) we'll leave it for you at the front desk.
