The Worst Job in the World

The worst job in the world was the guy who had to clean the blades of the screw and reset the post hole digger "bit" on this job I worked years ago. They were digging twenty foot holes [three foot wide] for a cement footing for a factory that required heavy machinery. Every time the Caterpillar Tractor brought the screw up, this kid had to get right under the blade and turn a switch. The blades were lubricated with high viscosity oil and the oil dripped right in his face and down his arm as he reached up to flip the switch. All day long, on a sunny ninety degree day, this kid had to have high viscosity motor oil dripped on his face and down his arm while his coworkers watched and supervised.
