What's the craziest thing you have ever done for money?

It wasn't actually crazy, but the worst job I ever had was working for a place called Canadian Fire Restoration. It was our job to go into a home that had been burned, but less than destroyed. We had to find everything that was still salvageable. Bring it back to the warehouse. Clean and repair what could be fixed. Assess for insurance companies how much couldn't be saved. Then we had to go back to the house, and clean it up. Clean all the smoke and water damage. Horrible job. Too depressing. I quit after about eight months. And I saw several come and leave in that time. Sad sad work.

I know a woman who used to clean houses after people had died in them. Murders, suicides, scraping brains and blood and gore off the walls and floors.

That is a job I could never do. Cleaning after a fire was bad. But in the few months I was there, we never had to clean a place where someone had died in the fire.
