Aaaargghh!

It seems there are jobs, you've just got to look closely at the employment agency windows...There are jobs you know, but mostly they're just "Production Operative" roles on a temp basis, something i'm not at all keen to embrace, the worst one i saw this week was for a pheasant plucker, (no jokes please!), honestly, i mean, who would want to stand in a pair of used wellies, in the cold, ripping feathers off a dead animal. They stink-i used to work breifly for a firm (mentioning no names) that were a major player in the duvet industry, in fact if you have a supermarket duvet, chances are that this firm supplied it. The feathers came in to be bleached, not with the piney toilet fresh bleach, but pure, hardcore bleach and that smell was bad enough, but mix that with faeces encrusted feathers in bulk, and then...well, it was about this time that i began to think that the image of the 'onest toiling working man was a bit of turn off if this was what he was expected to do, and i was-going to be promoted to work with the feathers, well i was if i didn't get the sack for being "too slow", but that's a different story...

I mean, who wants to do a crap job, for minimum wage, only to be sacked at the end of xmas, well i may have to, although i hope not...
