Ratter....sounds awful !

I had a summer job working in a chicken factory. I used to truss them. By the end of my shift I could barely move my thumbs...

I had a summer holiday job working in a canning factory. I canned raspberries, strawberries and peas for up to 10 hours per day. Boring and tiring, but when you're 15, the money was great and I could buy my school uniform etc for the next year.

Worked for a tyre wholsesaler in the warehouse. Due to insurance regs it wasn't allowed to be heated; in the Winter you'd go outside to warm up but in the Summer it was like an oven.

We'd get about 3 x 40ft ISO containers of tyres in a day that all had to be unloaded by hand. Each ISO contained between 1500-2000 tyres. Was pretty tough but I was young enough, lol!. Spent 10 years there....

kennel maid, dogs were lovely, the owners bred boxers who were fine, owners not so.
The smell of boiling tripe I can still sniff in my dreams

I worked in a factory that made puddings for airline meals. I only lasted a few weeks, then went to work in an amusement arcade which was extremely boring.

Dreamsandlove, you've said on another thread that you have a job you hate. There are other jobs. Go and look for them. Try Dorset, for example, my sister there wants good workers for the pub she runs.

I once had a job in a 'typing pool' just before I got married many years ago. I sat right at the front with all the other girls behind me who were very cliquey and try as I might, they just wouldn't accept me. I was so unhappy and used to actually cry on the way to work !! I decided that I didn't want to go back there once I was married, so handed in my resignation. The boss said he wasn't surprised as it's happened before! Wonder why he didn't do anything abut it.

Rattery that sounds awful indeed. Poor pigs too :(

Chalet maid in the worst kind of holiday camp. They fed us, and their sausages gave me food-poisoning.
And then they docked me pay for the day I spent being sick !

I have only had one job. It was sometimes fun but usually stressful.

I worked for DHSS/DSS/BA/DWP - I think that was all its names. My last couple of years I was calculating overpayments of benefit (Income Support). I was pretty ill mentally at the time and must have been hell to work with. After 24 years and 33 days I went off sick. At the age of 40 I was offered my pension and lump sum so I never went back.
