"Popular Science" lists top 10 worst field jobs

This, of course, made me think of strangealchemy - read and feel better about your situation?

10. Whale-feces researcher: The feces part just smells bad.
9. Forensic entomologist: Studying bugs on corpses combines two unpleasant things.
8. Olympic drug tester: Watching athletes urinate into cups and testing samples thousands of times during the Games can't be fun.
7. Gravity-research subject: Stays in bed for 3 weeks and lets muscles atrophy.
6. Microsoft-security worker: Deals with every Microsoft user's problems.
5. Preserved-animal preparer: Bottles frogs, cats, and pigs for biology students.
4. Garbologist: Sifts through garbage to analyze consumption patterns and how quickly waste breaks down.
3. Elephant vasectomist: Elephants are big, and so are their testicles.
2. Oceanographer: Pollution, overfishing, and coral-reef destruction mean the oceans keep getting worse.
1. Hazardous-materials diver: Swimming in sewage is a dirty task.

Personally, I don't think #6 and #7 sound that horrible.

Happy Father's Day... is it just today in the US or is it daddy's day in other countries too? I don't think I have any dads on my f-list though. I know I have some moms, but no dads.

Tomorrow I begin my pseudo-diet AGAIN and my exercise program... neither of which I've really worked out yet. Should do that before tomorrow. Heh.
