being a mom no really I think that is the hardest one yet.

um...probably at KFC when I was 15. It wasnt that hard but it wasnt fun either. They had me scrub out dumpsters and pull weeds in the parking lot and wash dishes.

I tried to be a telemarketer it last one day.

Marriage. Ugh.

Having to babysit my sister when she was younger. Such a pain

construction work (mostly digging ditches) at a job site that was 100 miles away from home. I'm kind of a wuss so doin' that kinda crap is hard. especially when all my coworkers had been doing it half their life at that point. made alot of friggen money though.

Definitely motherhood. It cannot be topped by any other job.

If you mean physically demanding, that would be when I worked in a lumber yard many years ago. I notched boards on a band saw and then built palettes and skids. I drove a forklift and I maintained the nail guns. Plus, I did all the bookkeeping for the company. Actually it was a palette and skid company connected to a lumber yard. As far as a job that is taxing and draining, that would be building spec homes. Dealing with subcontractors, paperwork, building inspectors, and bank loans can be very demanding and there is alot of stress involved.

Mothering my two kids. I wouldn't trade it for all the world. My kids are fine men and my dear friends. But it was really tough sometimes. The work I've done for wage or salary did not contain the challenges or the emotional wrenching that parenting did.

The job where i had to tell people they had hiv....i cant really explain why...it was just hard for me to do.

Military ... RECONN for an Artillery unit. ... Finding targets for the gunners to blow up, without being noticed, is very difficult.

The one where I used to shovel cow manure.

When I was 16 I worked as a dish washer/clean up worker in a small bakery. Water temperature was over 100 degrees. Using steel wool 6 days a week caused my fingerprints to disappear. Scraping dried dough off of floors and table tops was very difficult.

It's not physically hard, but it can be emotionally draining sometimes. I've worked retail all my life and the more I did it, the more I got treated like I was the dumbest, worst piece of sh*t in the world. It's sad but people treat the staff of places like POOP.

Many years ago I spent some time as a hospital cleaner and porter. I've never been good with early starts, and the work was extremely physically demanding, often with a significant 'Urgh!' factor. I never got used to the smell of the mortuary or the operating theatres, and many of the things I saw there are worth forgetting. The worst part however, was the continual hopelessness and sadness of individual stories that pervaded the building. The old woman in an elderly care ward who was convinced I was her son (who was 30 years dead) and would follow me, incontinently, on my way round that ward. The man on a stroke ward who's life was all but over but who was forbidden from being near an open window in his electric chair in case he miraculously regained his mobility and threw himself off the 10th floor. The psychiatric wing which had a population 80% of which was made up of girls under 20, many of them under 15, all with anorexia or bulimia. Every month I worked there at least one of them died. And naturally, given the business of the place, a never-ending procession of grieving relatives, shocked, disbelieving and broken by loss. Certainly the hardest job I've ever done.

Working on a sawmill & farm for most of my life. 2nd would be a oil company that I worked for part time when the mills were down do to lack of timber. The boss always had something planed for me just to see how far I would go. This company also done asphalt paving & one morning the boss came to me telling me he had a job I could not do. It was in mid winter & cold & his job for me was to take a 1-inch blade & remove all the asphalt off the three asphalt tanker trucks of his. It seemed to be a impossible job. But 8 plus hours later when the Boss came home he about had a heart attack seeing I done it. I had a little help when I tied up two salamanders to the rafters & heated up that cold asphalt till it melted off....One other thing about it was that day I was very tired.................M.C.S.

being a gardener and doing a lot of lawns... I'm really allergic to grass, so it wasn't fun

Digging trenches in very rocky soil, not fun at all.
