I hated my first job. I only lasted two and a half shifts.
I worked in a frozen produce processing plant during blueberry season, which is the busiest time of the year since I'm from a region where one of the primary crops is blueberries.
My job was working the box wash. (Yeah...) The blueberries came in from the fields in these yellow, plastic, stackable boxes. The berries were dumped onto one conveyor belt, and the boxes onto another. They travelled up and into a machine that washed them and the rinsed them in icy water. At the end of the conveyor belt, in the freezing-cold, stacking boxes four high...was me. Me and one other person, who loaded the stacks of four onto a pallette. For 12 hours.
It was the most monotonous thing ever. I just about lost my mind the first shift. The person I was working with had the IQ of, well, a blueberry, so I couldn't even talk to her. I just couldn't take it.
