I used to tar foundations during my spring breaks in high school. Had to cut out chunks of hair and rinse with strong solvent (think kerosene) every day.

Also spent years in the darkroom of some important artists sulfur toning hundreds of prints a day. The way you knew the toner had gone bad was when the rotten egg smell became too much to bear.

I worked a summer in a dusty, hot warehouse deep cleaning all the appliances from a closed down fried chicken chain. Deep fryers, refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, prep tables, coolers, warmers, ventilation systems, utensils, etc. I was the first person to have cleaned any of the stuff in 10 years. Laminated chicken fat is tough to clean. Saved my money and bought my first car. A VW Rabbit. The engine blew up about two months after purchase.

I also got a 2nd degree burn on my leg from one of the exposed steam pipes by the pressing machines when I went to retrieve a customer's order. The owners were afraid that I would sue them.

The most dangerous experience I had on the job was when I worked in a group home for developmentally disabled adults. One time a group home resident jumped out of the van while were at a red light on a busy road and bolted into traffic. He was booking down a traffic lane. It took me a block to catch up to him and get him out of the road.

First walk off was at a Subway shop. I was closing alone and the owner was spying, came in and accused me of closing the store a minute early. I hadn't and there weren't any more customers. I told him to F off, close it himself and threw my apron and keys across the store and went to leave. He followed me to my car, apologizing to a middle finger.

The only time I ever had a "I'm ouuta here" moment was when I was working at a rubber factory. We made anything made of rubber, car bumpers, anything to keep household items in place, etc. The factory had no ventilation, the gloves barely prevented burns and we had no masks to protect us from the stream when we opened up the molds. I was never thinner, due loss of appetite. I was only out of high school for a couple of years, had dropped out of community college and was determined not to quit. After more than a year I finally decided to quit, but only if the Bob Seger song "Against The Wind" came on the radio next. I gave notice and decided to fly to California and hitch back to Long Island.

Retirement differences are really unjust:

I was able to retire at the age of 55 after 27 years teachingNYC DOE = 1/2 my salary and all health and dental ..
NYPD/FDNY can go out at any age after 20 years .. and they up the retirement by doing a lot of OT in the last 3 years

All of that is great for those that get it but why not bus/train workers, nurses, home care attendents, everyone !!!

EFD, if you ever hit the Prospect-Lefferts Gardens area in Brooklyn there is a great small store called Record City. I bet you'd find lots of gems for the annual disco show.

Jason: Reminded me of when I worked overnights at a deli. When I worked alone I could play any music I wanted. Some of the people, especially the drunk or stoned ones would be a little freaked out by the music. One slow night I was blasting Ornette Coleman and Eugene Chadbourne walked in. He stopped in his tracks and said "This is the last thing I expected to hear." He was even more shocked that I recognized him.

Handy: circling back, Roger & Amanda (Amanda may have been off the DDR show by then) must have called them "Basic B's".

When Sony bought Columbia they dumped all the vinyl and I picked up a 6-LP box of Atlantic Blues for $5 and no future purchase needed.

Androu B.:

You want to talk about on-the-job horror stories? On my fifth day of work at a warehouse, I was busy opening sealed boxes of stock with a box cutter and, after turning away for one blind moment watching out for passing forklifts, I found a gaping cut below the back of my thumb. I was excused for the day and left for the hospital. Needless to say, I was discharged immediately after that.

My sister had it worse. She once worked at a restaurant in our neighborhood working food prep. While she was cutting carrots & having a conversation with a fellow worker, she ended up cutting at least three of her fingers to the bone! In her case, she kept working there afterwards for another year before moving on to law school.

One of the best Christmases ever was when my parents surprised me with a major Colombia House haul. I had absent-mindedly filled out an order form and they kept it without my knowledge.

BMG Music Club was a bit more doable for me when I was younger, but I can certainly appreciate the sentiment of this song!

Columbia House ... my friend Drooker joined the record club but never paid the on going bills ... meanwhile, his father was working at the CH Book of the Month club ... 1970s = pre data storage cross check but someone figured out the connection and they were hassling Drooker's father work ... The common phrase is "The sins of the father falls on the sons" but Ezekiel suffered from the sins of his sons .. as did Drooker's father..
