Factory Worker July 27, 2007

I work in a factory.

Okay, I don’t really WORK in a factory. But sometimes it just feels that way.

We manufacture and package up poo. Some people might call it lying… my boss calls it do you want to get paid or not? While I don’t think I outright lie- I definitely talk in euphemism.

The things I spin won’t ruin anyone’s life or really make any kind of dent in the world. Hell, it probably doesn’t even increase anyone’s sales or make anyone’s public or corporate image better anyway.

Overall, while the work I do is pretty meaningless and pointless- it does make the day go by faster. And there are definitely some interesting characters at work. Sometimes watching them and all the drama that unfolds around them is pay enough.

Who I am is not important. Where I work is none of your business. I want to keep my slightly better than average minimum wage job. If they find out I’m writing about el corporation- I don’t think they would find it haha funny.
