My First Job
By Steve Hanson
My first job was as a dishwasher at Hampstead Hospital, a mental institution in Hampstead, NH. I was 16, prone to acne, lazy, and poor. Girls didn't like me, I wasn't good at sports, hadn't started working out yet, and really didn't have any friends. A dishwashing job at the local nut house seemed like just what I needed. Paying $6.48 an hour, it was the worst job I've ever had. Bill Horrocks was my boss... the most wickedly dumb man to ever walk the Earth. His wife, Denise, worked under Bill in a lower position in food service, yet she did his entire job and hers as well. Together they made sure that every inch of floor was mopped, and every inch of carpet vacuumed. The worst part of the job was cleaning the grease traps. Dishwashers and large commercial sinks have big old traps between the drain and the sewer. These traps would build up with sludge and required cleaning once a week... usually on Sunday morning. We had to scoop out the sludge with a cooking pan, dump it into a bag inside a large 24 inch tall pot, and dumped into the grease collector outside the building next to the dumpsters. Grease traps traumatized me, and to this day if I smell a grease trap I get sick to my stomach. Fortunately Mr. Bill was fired years ago, and I hope today he is actually living in Hampstead Hospital because Lord knows that man needed psychiatric help. |
