The Absolute Worst Working Environment?

goodEvans writes "As I write this, there is a window open behind me with a small jet engine outside. 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 ...)

    Whenever I have problems with demons taking up residence in my brain, I just shoot them. That's right, I said shoot them. Kill 'em all, and let the good lord Jesus sort 'em out.

    But seriously, if you're not interested in purging yourself from the gene pool, you need to be on some serious medication, and you need to undergo a lot of counseling. Your religion isn't the solution...it's part of the problem.

    Sixth of all, you live in the Mormon capital of Utah, where you can't even buy a decent beer or six to dull the unceasing stinging sensation that is your life.

    I am not making this up: a few of the happiest people that I have ever met were those who had just moved out of Utah and finally gotten away from their crazy families and communities.

    wow slashdot has really gone downhill allowing crap like this to pass for front page news... who the hell gives a flying *#$(@*#$ about this moron and his stupid job? if it sucks so bad, just quit and find another job... and what's with the moderators? is slashdot no longer about news, and instead becoming a giant blog for people to rant about their personal lives? fsck that!
