So there has been an arctic wind blowing through the Midwest and the East Coast this week.  I have been thinking of moving to a warmer environment because I am too much of a wimp to deal with this kind of weather.  But the boss of the house, my wife will not let me move to a warm environment especially one that had sexy young girls in revealing clothing.  Anyway, I was thinking of adding working on skyscrapers in this kind of weather as one of the worst jobs but that seemed too easy.  You can always bundle up to deal with this kind of weather.

Many of the prior jobs that I talked about really repulsed me but there are a whole slew of other jobs outside the US that are really disgusting.  So I have decided to expand my series to include jobs anywhere in the world as well as any job through out history.  For my first historical job, I have a job from Medieval times, the job as a fuller.

Fuller
The 13th century is boom time for the wool trade. With three sheep to every man, woman and child, wool is the biggest export for England.  But nobody likes stiff and itchy cloth that falls to pieces, so arises the need for fullers.

As a fuller, you are expected to walk up and down all day in huge vats of stinking stale urine. The ammonia produced by the rotten urine may make your eyes water, but it creates the softest cloth by drawing out the grease (lanolin) from the wool. If you can dance up to your knees in urine for around two hours per length of cloth, you'll succeed in closing the fibers of the wool and interlocking them to produce cloth that is kind to the skin. You will be doing your part, along with the weavers, dyers and merchants, in making it a world-beating export.

You may stink and regularly have to fight back the urge to throw up, but you are guaranteed very clean toenails.
