Over The Fence Community Group
A quote from one of our happy Over The Fence members: "Hi JS- Thank you for the welcome message. Do you remember that show Home Improvement and the neighbor Wilson Wilson Jr. who would meet Tim the Tool Man at the fence, but never showed anything but his eyes? He was so funny. This group reminds me of those encounters... you get the wisdom, humor, and support from your DS...


I suppose I would do it again if I really needed the money....
I have had the worst experiences doing that-
was threatened
bit by dog clawed by cat-many motels allow pets now a days
saw people in bad situations
saw some bad stuff, police called a lot-
you would be surprised-maybe not- what you may see at motels-hotels
I could NEVER Physically DO:
Refuse Person (Garbage Collector)
I CANNOT stomach the Stench of Decaying ANYTHING !! In our Town this is a very high paying job -
IMAO THEY DESERVE every penny!!

My worst ever job, tho', was WOMEN's CLOTHING RETAIL. It was not a high-end store, but more mid-high end, and the only person more pretentious and demanding than the customers...was the manager. UGH. That job quite literally gave me an ulcer! However, other retail wasn't as bad.
OK, take it back, I would NEVER try: Prostitute. But I think that's pretty much a given!
i hope i'll never have to engage in anything illegal, too dangerous and harmful. i wouldn't want to be an animal control officer or work in a correctional facility, have done that as well in mental health facilities and didn't care for it. the paradigm is changing but many still see inmates as less than living beings, let alone human.
Foxysdad ~ I worked for a short time at a convenience store when I was in Vegas. It was right next door to a fancy bar well known as a "Drug-Den" . I worked the Midnight Shift otherwise know as
"The Moving-Target Shift"!!
LEOX3 ~ Boy! Do I know about Managers!! I was a Foster Grandmother for the Red Cross (prior to my stroke 3 yrs ago when I became a wheel-chair-bound invalid) I volunteered for a woman who literally drove her professional day care school "into the ground".She had her favorite employees and there was "everybody else'!
I was a certified literacy instructor so I worked with the pre kindergarten kids teaching them reading & math recognition until I came in one day & was sent to work with a partially paralyzed semi-ambulatory child who couldn't talk . HE was 10 & in another class. When I came in that day I asked the young teacher I had worked with WHY I was being transferred out of her class. She said the manager had told her in a nasty tone that "she didn't deserve to have any help as she did such a poor job!!"
Long story short. After the school closed the young teacher who had eventually been fired got a tuition included job in one of the best universities in the country & I got 'canned' as a volunteer there bec one day she was feeding MY little guy when I came in the door & he refused to let HER feed him anymore - he wanted me! It is a shame AS it closed for lack of funding as it was built from the ground up with govt funds as a REAL school! His refusal to eat for her was "my nail in the coffin!"
One of the WORST jobs i had was - again - a smelly one! I was in college at the time & had to take jobs that would accommodate the odd hours for class times. I took a job as a "donated-clothes-sorter" at the
Salvation Army. I still can't breathe if I have to go into a thrift shop to hunt for furniture, etc. bec of the smell of the "B-O"!!
