Think your job is bad? Try spending 12 hours a day standing knee-deep in fermented human urine. Or climbing into toxic cesspits at 3 AM. Or having your actual job title be "Groom of the Stool" - aka the person who wiped the King's bottom. These aren't horror movie plots - they were real jobs in Tudor England (1485-1603) that people did every single day.
