Anyone work in crazy conditions?

Yeah okay, I definitely don't feel so 'poor me' now. My manager seems to think I can turn my sleep schedule around on a dime (9am and noon shifts after I did a week on overnights? Thanks boss, love you too), but its not bad work for retail and my coworkers are alright.

I am the manager of a 38 bed unit in a forensic psychiatric hospital. Our population consists of people found to be Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity. I love my job, but it has made me somewhat jaded since I have seen so much violence and dysfunction. Nothing really shocks me anymore. I have seen patients attempt suicide, attempt to kill other people, and I even had one guy bite a chunk off of another patient's face and chew and swallow it. We are given no weapons, armor, or any other protective means. To stay safe we are given rigorous training and our fellow co-workers....that's it.

^ omg chew and swallow. Yuk. Sounds like another zombie from
Miami!
Sorry bad joke I couldn't help myself.

Gotta love it when they do that. I work a lot of splits nowadays since I'm the main driver at my job, but at least the hours aren't too late. Like tomorrow I work a 10am-2pm and a 4pm-11:30pm. I do this 5-6 days a week. I don't get an official break during my shifts other than the 2 hours off between shifts, but the time I spend driving makes it not so bad. It works.

I worked at a PetSmart a few years ago as a stocker/pet care specialist. My schedule was usually splits as well, but the hours sucked. Most days I started work at 3am and worked til 4pm stocking. Then I usually got an hour off and worked til closing as pet care, which meant I usually got out around 11:45pm. Then I got to start all over the next day. I lived on coffee and rockstar energy drinks. I'll tell you one thing, though, I cherished my days off!

Yeah I'm a game tester currently testing Call of Duty: MW3 DLC.

I have to play against a bunch of other cod players who are really good, learn the maps before they come out, and give feedback and suggestions for other content :P. It's crazy how fun it can be :D

Well I work for a defense contractor in a laser optics lab... I can't go into too many details, but lets just say that I work with lasers capable of burning through tank armor fairly quickly...

You literally have my brothers dream job! Well actually he wants to write the storylines for the games and help design them, but still he would gladly test them. If i tell him that youre a game tester he would probably create an account here just to ask you questions lmfao. Lets keep it on the down low lol ;)

I've got a spacious cubicle next to 15 foot windows that overlook trees and a lake. My chair is comfy and I can come and go as I please without worry. I spend about 4 - 5 hours a day doing nothing on the web. The AC is probably at 71 or 72. I have a jungle of plants surrounding me and my co-workers are predominantly sexy women between 22-27.

Most days I complain that my job sucks, even though I know on the grand scheme of things it's a pretty solid gig. Thank you to some of you guys for reminding me why I should be appreciative for what I have and what I have worked for. To others, I admire your courage and strength for performing suck jobs that help maintain everyone's quality of life (army, dispatchers, paramedics, etc.)

If he wants to write storylines, tell him to skip testing and work his but off to get to the top of that mountain! I used to write a lot of stories. I tried to make each line rhyme to make it into a poem. :oops:.

Oh my that is terrible. I work in an office that people start whining if it gets up to 75. I don't mind office life one bit ;)
