Managed a fish market for a year. Was working 12 hour days cutting, smoking and preparing fish for customers. YOu'd get home and be so tired and used to the smell that you'd just go to sleep without a shower.
After a certain amount of sleep deprivation you start cutting yourself accidentally pretty often.
Every week we had to open up the counters and chop up the ice underneath because the drain was always clogged. The ice was usually yellow or red. We also had to periodically dump the giant bins of fish refuse and take out the trash to the street. We were pretty universally reviled because we stunk up the entire street.
If I did it now I probably would have gotten laid more, but I didn't then.
But I ate lobsters, blue marlin, and tuna with regularity. So it's not all bad (except that the fish contain potassium benzoate).
