Funny, that was my #2. ______________________________________________ Aeronautics confers beauty and grandeur, combining art and science for those who devote themselves to it. . . . The aeronaut, free in space, sailing in the infinite, loses himself in the immense undulations of nature. He climbs, he rises, he soars, he reigns, he hurtles the proud vault of the azure sky. — Georges Besançon | |||

Yuncheng, shanxi china. Most of china is shitty but the city of yuncheng tops the list for me. -the air is so bad you'll choke -brown waternout of the faucets -constant power blackouts in the city -crappy food (noodles) -drunk drivers everywhere -drunk coal men everywhere -piles of garbage....everywhere On the plus side, the local women are very interested in foreign men which was cool because I was the only foreign guy there. I had to work there about 4 months. | |||

I spent a miserable 2 months there in 1980. I pray to NEVER return. If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

From what I read so far, you win. Nothing like being a "valued contributor" at your place of work. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Crawlspace where a sewer line had broken, bad enough that I put on my 1/8" wetsuit with work coveralls over them.

At one point in our exemplary past, our airline individually flew to more destinations in Mexico than AeroMexico and (now defunct) Mexicana. I'm here to tell you that a few of those destinations were real dung heaps. To be fair, most of them weren't, but the ones that sucked, REALLY sucked. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

For me, Trenton. It's either that or South Boston. _______________________ “The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.

Happened to me at Camp Hill during "block out". A couple of hundred inmates allowed to roam free in the cell block and then lights went out. Emergency lights took what seemed like for ever to come on. I was against the wall and kept moving. Those bars of soap thrown at me all missed. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

Toss up between Stockton, California and Juarez, Mexico. Both shitholes and I was glad to leave. I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not. | |||

Management Aide at a S.E. DC public housing project. Fresh out of college, experienced things I'll never forget The smell of a dead, bloated body in a unit...worst smell ever. Evicting mothers with crying kids, with no place to go. A toilet plugged up with a fetus. Knocking on doors of tenants who didn't pay rent. Inspecting units full of the stench of chittlins boiling on the stove and smell of shit on the floor. Longest 9 months of my life but learned a lot. _______________________________________ NRA Life Member Member Isaac Walton League I wouldn't let anyone do to me what I've done to myself | |||

Not for work, but Carbrini Green was the worst place I've ever been to. Especially after the Bulls won championship(s). Second, for work, is the area around Prince Avenue in Wilmington N.C. Ask Chongo. The job? WIC Fraud Investigation. ========================================== Just my 2¢ ____________________________ Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right ♫♫♫ | |||
