Stewie are you dissing on us wastewater people??
My first job while in high school was a cashier at a grocery store. I moved into a little pizza shop in the store and damn it was so much fun. I hung out in back with the salad bar & produce people, eating all the fruit and we always got into these fights where we'd whip the rotten stuff at each other. It was the best.
My first real job after college was.....wastewater treatment plant operator. It was with a smallish city, so I also had to do other things with the rest of the utility crew, like reading meters once a month (HELL in wintertime), driving the snow plow in the winter, etc. I've been on a little boat in the wastewater pond, I've ran the sewer jetter machine, even got covered in black stinky ****. I also ran the town's two drinking water plants. Aside from stinky poo, it was really a fun job. I was the first and only female to work for the city crew and I was something of a sideshow for all the old guys in town! But working with those guys on the crew was awesome. Oh, the beer parties......
