The only factory job I had, I was assembling small cubes and I had to put a 100 by box. So I started off laying them up in rows 10 by 10 on my table that way I only had to count till 20 and I was sure I got a 100. It went fast until the production manager saw it and freaked. I just couldn't get him to understand that 10x10 equals a 100 and it was more reliable than counting each piece.

beer factory doesn't sound that bad. Any free samples?
- asspop0
you get a few free beer everyday........but the job blows. you stand in a line for 9 hours doing the same shit over and over and over again.

I probably do the same type of thing your doing but instead of free beer I get free pickles. Oh boy!!!!!

the worst job i ever had was working on an oyster farm. At low tide we would have drive out on the back of a tractor to the oyster beds that were about 2 miles out on a beach, we would have to work up to our knees in the freezing cold irish sea. We each had a stick and we would have to un hook the metal mesh oysterbags which was tricky as they were hooked down veery tight by industrial elastics, so you couldnt ware gloves, and even if you did wear gloves they would get wet an cold.
Once the bag was unhooked at the four corners you would have to turn it on its side and beat it with the stick so as too loosen the oyster, then you would have to take all the sea weed of the bag and re hook it. You did this for about 4 hours, then, once the tide was up to your back, it was back onto the tractor, soaking wet and cold, to cold to even light your own ciggarette.
Once back in the factory you would have to stand on a conveyer belt (no sitting) and sort through the oysters, breaking them down into groups of v big, big , small and very small. You would do that for four hours. I was greatfull to be out of the irish sea.That job turned me into an alcholic. The people working there were great fun and we made the most of it but it was the tuffest job ever.
I hate oysters by the way.

That Oyster one sound pretty crazy. I used to work on a Huge Fishing boat. I only worked when the boats got back which was cool. But cleaning fish & swabbin the poop deck was nasty work.

I've never had a factory job but I spent a summer working in this chip shop/restaurant where I had the incredible responsibility of putting pototoes into a 'rumbler' (auto-peeler), washing them and putting them into a chipper... my extra special responsibility was flouring cod ready for the fryer. In the end I got sacked for sleeping ontop of a chest-freezer - what do they expect, I was 17 and that job was paying for my 1991 ecstasy phase - great times hahah

why dont you get a job at the cucumber factory (bad spelling i know, cuuccumber???)
- Bio0
totally feeling your pain guys.
i have a good job now, but a year and a half ago when i graduated college, i couldnt find a job anywhere.
so i worked in a paper factory. hot, sweaty, low pay, 12 hour night shifts. came out every morning sore and hurting from people dropping boxes on me.steel toed boots, hard hat, work gloves, blisters, hot glue burns (got 3 ugly scars on my right arm from that shit and they didnt even pay for the med bill. fuckers).
turtles brother (exador) gave me a helluva peptalk and i started working on my portfolio for an hour every morning after work before i passed out like a rock waiting for the next night to begin so i could work again.
eventually i pulled some mockups and some old projects together and landed a nice job.moral of the story, do what you have to do to survive, but at least 30 minutes to an hour EVERY night/day and it will have been so worth it. seriously.
i know it is hard guys, depression sets in quick but dont lose faith. if you want something, go get it! you've got me rooting for you! and if exador were here, he would tell you the same.best of luck to all of you guys! i wish you the best, and i really mean that.
eric.

sexypixel,
where in Ireland? I lived in Greystones for half a year a year ago. Couldn't find any good design in Ireland (as an example, pick any non-governmental .ie site and try to guess which version of frontpage went into the design...)
- sexypixel0
I grew up in limerick but worked in dublin, the oyster job was in waterford.
There is some great design houses in dublin and cork, but mostly botique places. I havent lived in ireland in 4 years so am a bit out of touch, i used to work in labyrinth. http://www.labyrinth.ie
http://www.creativeireland.com has a good directory of irish designers.
http://www.webfactory.ie do some good stuff also. and i love http://www.newmedia.ie 's work..I'm thinking of moving back to dublin soon as australia is just too damn far from everywhere else and you start to feel a bit out of the loop living here, everything is two seasons behind everywhere else.

I've enver had a factory or assembly line-type job, though I'm workin' 7:30-4ish (plus 5-9) to save my money for school while spending free time when I can working on stuff. I feel a portion of your pain!
That said, I must say that "pickle factory" is a comedic phrase made of GOLD!!
