What an Assembly Line Job Taught Me About Life.

Lana Hope of the blog Wide Open Ground published a guest post I sent her while I was away working on my house early this week. Something I have never talked about before on this blog is the fact that for about 2 years off and on, I worked for a temp company doing product packaging for P&G and Unilever. Have you ever seen those shrink wrapped two bottle packs of Febreeze canisters in stores with the little cardboard "boot" at the bottom of them that look like the picture at your left in stores? I used to make those, and many other different types of packages and even pallet sized display cases.

It was a wild ride working for that temp company, because the company would hire any adult that came in, felons/addicts, illegal immigrants, and just everyday people who were desperate for work (this was during and shortly after the 2008 financial collapse in the US).
