I process meat. My hands are rarely dirty but sometimes there seepage through my overalls.

No thanks, I take mine black.

That’s an absolutely valid point. I’m not American but in Ireland we get the same “foreigners are stealing our jobs” bullshit. I work in a meat processing plant. Most Irish new starts don’t last the first week.

What jobs are they stealing? Jobs we won’t do? We need immigrants, we aren’t far away from a declining population. I don’t understand how people thing that’s an issue when our entire economy is propped up on migrant workers.

24 bottles but yeah.

I used to unload trucks in an absolute madhouse.

The heat in the back of the transparent roofed trailers in summer was a nightmare so some of the lads would strip down to their boxers then pop their boots and high vis back on. We eventually got cameras installed pointing down the trailers and we’re suddenly required to be fully clothed at all times. Our shift lead took particular offense to this and flashed his cock at the camera whilst shouting obscenities. He didn’t come back to work the next day.

We had 4 guys sacked for not only opening customers parcels but for taking fireworks out of said parcel and taping them to Frisbees which they then threw to each other. One inevitably went off in one fella’s hand. He eventually managed to sue for unfair dismissal somehow.

Another guy was caught trying to sneak a slab of wine out to his car.

I lived in tents for the better part of a year. I’d set up anywhere with a bit of cover that wasn’t frequently walked through. Woods mostly.

Nah its not just the US. I’ve run into similar in Ireland. I went into the supermarket to pick up pads and a tub of ice cream. Passed them to the young fella behind the counter who then leans over and whispers “do you need me to put them in a paper bag for ye?”

I’m off to strain the spuds.

That needs mushroom and we’re in business.

Only irchighway these days. Gotta get my book fix in.
