I was once a garbage man in the middle of summer. Lasted a week. Was my first real job, so I wasn't the driver. Days could last 15 hours, didn't matter. You got paid by the day, not the hour. Couldn't go home until you cleaned the truck you used for your route.
The things I've seen... smelled... and even tasted... in the heat...
I have all due respect for those people, but that life ain't for me.
Tried landscaping next. Not as bad as being a garbage man, but harder than it seems. Got chased by an alligator while trying to wack some weeds on my 3rd day and never went back. Quickly learned all these normal people jobs ain't for me at all. I was probably being dramatic, but whatever. Became an ebay seller, which ultimately lead me here in a way... was easy to transition from some of the skills I developed.
