This is supplying vast amounts of compressed air to the aircraft undergoing heavy maintenance in the hangar right outside my door. There is a 6-inch diameter air hose going through the office and out the door. All this requires that I sit at my desk wearing a body warmer to keep out the cold, and both ear defenders AND ear plugs to keep out the noise! And this will go on for half a day once a week! What are the worst conditions you have ever had to work under?" Can you top that? (If top is the word ...)

40 hour week at the monkey lab, standing in a puddle of monkey poo, while shooting hot water through the empty cages.

Interestingly, this metaphorically describes my current project with VBA and MSOffice applications to a t. How depressing.
