I worked for Fiesta Party Rentals one summer and it was brutal. They'd rent dishes out to wedding receptions and we'd get the dishes back two or three days later, still dirty and have to wash them. They were completely caked with crud and they stunk. Also had to clean various rental machines (popcorn, cotton candy, etc...) and they'd be just caked and have to be severly scrubbed. After about two weeks I was out of there.

Another bad one was working at Standens doing general clean-up on the weekends while going to SAIT. Shoveling steel flakes and bits of steel from the punch machines was bad... but they had huge vats of oil in the basement that the weekday workers would toss the leaf springs in after they were formed to cool down. On the weekends we'd empty the oil out and have to shovel the oily steel flakes out of a 10'x10' bin (by climbing right in due to the small size of the doors) and bring it out of the basement in buckets. By the time I got home I stunk like I took an oil bath and no amount of showering seemed to get rid of the oily feeling.
