This is more like my worst day at work:
I work at a hospital in the summers, and on of the patients had some of their stuff thrown out and wanted it back. Hmm, guess who they sent to the trash dumping site to sift through a weeks worth of hospital trash, yep me. After 3 hours of sifting through s*** we finnaly found what she had had thrown out:
A plastic flower
A christmas card
and a picture
i will never forget that day
