Production line work Have you ever worked or work in a factory doing production line work? I worked in a factory part time to get some extra cash when I was 16. My job was to put glasses on to a conveyor belt for 8 hours. This was after I was making boxes for shot glasses for 8 hours at a time. I guess it must make you mentally strong with the same repetitiveness day in, day out. [Edited 6/12/05 14:33pm] | |

My boyfriend worked the graveyard shift for one night in a production line. He had to put the caps on shampoo bottles. He had just gone into a temp agency with his friends because he was bored and got the job.
He made £50 that night and spent it the next night on booze. I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

I was pulling broken glass out of a furnace. | |

that sounds dangerous! It was extremely unpleasant. They just gave you this gauntlet type glove and a pair of tongs. | |

I spent a year working a plastic extruder from eleven to seven in the morning.
sometimes I set up and ran the machine other times I'd sit in one place packaging little bits of plastic that came down the line so fast I couldn't look away for even a minute. If they forgot my break there was no way for me to go remind anyone It was a creepy hundred year old factory with sub basement after sub basement. When I ran a line by myself finding tools and materials was up to me, so I had to wander the factory, my fork truck training was the boss telling me the keys were in it. Other than making me feel I had been chained in hell it didn't really build mental strength :OjitheFanKeybumpersticker: | |
