You haven't lived until you've been on a canning floor full of pressure cookers and giant kettles of soup or worse - corn relish in a Chicago summer.
I was a food scientist before I was a computer geek. Whenever my job stresses me out I think about the day I was a QC tech in a canning plant and I went outside for a cool breath of air. It really felt good. I later found out it was over 100 degrees out there. It must have been over 110 inside with 200% humidity and a lot of heavy lifting. What was worse, was that QC tech was a lightweight job compared to some of the production workers tossing around 80# tubs of beans. I had to lift a lot, but only 30 -40# at at time.
It got me enough money for graduate school and a future of working in air conditioning.
I don't think the reporter's telling the truth.
I'm a law abiding citizen and if someone I didn't
know sent me $250.00 and he didn't know who I was,
I'd take the money and run. Diaries are too much
of a pain.
I'm just waiting for the reporter to get fired for
making it up.
But I'm sure the techniques are real. Good thing
