It Could Be Worse
When you're having a bad day at work, just be glad you're not an anal wart researcher:
Yes, there really is such a thing. Dr. Denise Galloway of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle is one of the country's leading scientists in the field. While she describes her work as creative, challenging, and fun, she also admitted to the Tacoma News Tribune that her mother is so embarrassed by it that she tells people her daughter is a cancer researcher.
For a real shit job, try being a cage cleaner at the zoo. Or, for a change of pace, also at the above link (the Discovery show, Dirty Jobs), try "braving oncoming traffic while picking up all manner of smelly dead creatures. Benefits include working outdoors." Yes, you, too, can earn your keep as a roadkill picker-upper.
Anal wart jokes aside, let's remember that what's most important is doing the best work you possibly can -- no matter what your job is.
