I worked in a factory in china for no pay, 12 hour shifts, sweating all day. Sorry about your desk job
Had a lot of temporary jobs when I was young with an agency. I got sent to a tyre place once and had to unload a huge lorry full of tyres. So boring, and those things get heavy. Filthy dirty as well.
That was probably the worst.
Taking dead people to the morgue was pretty unpleasant as well.

Why no pay?
Mine was finding fuel leaks in Airplanes around 1980. I worked one day and called it quits. Came home smelling like kerosene. Plus it was a very hard job only a few could tolerate. I wasn't one of them.. I forgot to mention, I'm a very good mechanic, but yet this job was way too complicated for me. I had to crawl in the fuel tanks with the hatch closed and pressurized, spray foam substance around all the conduits and watch for bubbles. I had to wear an oxygen mask..It was horrible. I tried it because the pay was good.. Not good enough though for my taste..
Not one for the smokers then.![]()
I worked on a farm for a while in my childhood where I bathed cows, pigs, and horses, and cleaned up after then.

Wow, that sounds particularly awful!
