Okay, I hate cigs a whole lot more, right now. I got this sweet gig digging ashes for an arson investigator at a burnt-down house. $10/hr travel (5 hours both ways = $100 instant!), $15/hr working, and free meals and lodging. Now, the state pays for all this, so we decide where we want to lodge and what we want to eat. Hello, $130/night rooms at the Hampton Inn! BWAHAHA! And also, hello $15 meals at Longhorn! Ate some of the most expensive food that's ever graced my mouth this trip! Plus, I made over $300 in three days... Now, the work is daggum nasty. I'm crawling around, raking through ashes. The inside of my nose is still black, and I wore a mask the entire time, if that tells you anything. And, uh, don't even get me started on the surprises. Turns out that when a house burns down, the fridge turns off. And the doors melt half-off. Now, imaging 1,800 flies.... I'll go no further.
Now, probably the worst part of the trip, besides walking in maggots, was all the smoking. The other diggers, besides the investigator's son, were firemen or ex-firemen. And these dudes could smoke. I don't think there was a moment in the entire trip where somebody wasn't lit up. Freaking nasty. I wanted to keep my dust mask on all day long, lol. The guy sharing a room with me was lit up half the night, too, lol. Hid under the covers >_<
So, uh, the money's great, but I'm bringing some sort of air filter I can hide in my mouth next time =P
