and you thinks YOURS is bad ...
While typing MY job today, here is part of a report I just finished which was 27 minutes long and took an hour to type!
At about age 12 he started working in the chicken houses on the eastern shore of Delaware. That job entailed going into the chicken houses at night when the chickens were large enough to go to market and catching the chickens putting them in cages and transporting them to the processing plants. The last time he worked at this was in 2005; at that time he was employed by Mr. (made-up name) Smith.
Mr. Smith was a subcontractor for various chicken farms, and what they do in this situation, is that when the chickens are ready for market he goes in at night with his crew.
They have to go through the chicken houses wading through the worse chicken manure you can imagine in all types of temperature and in each hand they try to catch about five or six chickens in each hand and then put them in the cage. He stated that he worked off and on for many years for Mr. Smith, 10 to 15 years as best he could recall. As I stated, he started doing this when he was 12 years old.
Sounds like this is a job that Mike Rowe has probably done on "Dirty Jobs", or has he" Fairweather says she drools over Mike, so I think I'll go check him out since I can never remember what time slot his show comes on~! To check him out,

and one has to wonder about the health hazards to both the workers and the potential chicken buyer...eeeeek
Anyway, hope you guys are having a great Friday! YAY! it's Friday!
See yuns later. It's back to work for me...
Repeat after me ... I love my job ... I love my job ... I love my job ...
