http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/FreeStuff/8652 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! 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.

However small, there's always an element of 'fun' running a chainsaw...  http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/FreeStuff/8652/#c_83627 http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/FreeStuff/8652/#c_83627 The coin picked correctly.
