Worked in a frozen pea factory on night shifts over the summer. One of the jobs was the pod and stick machine, where the peas entered the factory from the field on a vibrating machine where the peas fall through the holes and the pods and sticks (and dead animals) were separated. When I closed my eyes at night all I could see was vibrating peas, and couldnt eat them fort at least a year.
Worked on the fish docks cleaning and packing fish, I smelled great after that and could never get the fish scales off my hands.
Was also an apprentice carpet fitter, my favourite was when I was working with a fitter called “flash”, not for his speed, but quite the opposite, he was the slowest fitter in the shop. I especially enjoyed the day I was with him and we had to rip up the pee ridden carpets in a nursing home and take the old carpets back to the warehouse in the van.
