I worked in a factory that had job titles like, the whip, the crowsnest and turd cutter, among others. The whip was a transfer job between two lines. The product was covered with acid and was large and heavy. A pair of work boots would only last a month. The acid caused the leather to curl up and they wouldn't fit. I have a couple of acid scars.

The crowsnest, as the name implies, was upstairs in the factory and entailed breaking out the product from bake frames. The stuff weighed between 40 and 80 lbs. I would walk out to my truck after work and feel shorter than when I went in. Talk about hot?

A turd cutter was a step up from the other two jobs. You basically made sure the weight was right for fiberglass turds before they were molded into shape. Dependant on the fiberglass cases that were being molded you had to make the turds the right weight. The bad part was they used air grinders to trim the excess fiberglass off of the finished product. Even though we had a washer and dryer, my work clothes went to the laundrymat.

You guys must have posted while I was composing, these were also radiator related jobs...I also worked in fast food for the Col. back in high school. Teaches you a good work ethic.
