Vomit vultures

OK, so let's start by going back to the days of the great Roman Empire. This is a job that you couldn't even make up if you'd tried.

You remember your history lessons, or indeed watched any of the televised Roman dramas, you can't have missed the vast amounts of food that they consumed.

And what happens when you consume too much food? That's right, you throw up. And do you think the great Roman Empire wants puke all over the floor? No, so lets hire some poor bastard to clean up after we throw up!

Now, they don't just throw up where they sit, well not always. Some diners were privileged enough to have their own room in which to puke in, now there's a facilities managers job gone crazy, I don't see that on a check list of conference rooms these days. Maybe they need to revisit that option, as some of the conferences I've been to have left me very queasy!

Now, it may sound awful that these poor souls have to mop up the fine 'mashed carrots' of there leaders (and / or owners!), but at least they got a roof over their heads and a warm place to sleep. I'm sure it didn't half stink though!

Are you sure you wouldn't rather work in an office than clean up some puke? Answers on a post card please!
