10. Hard work man. That sort of work takes years off you, and exposes you to all sorts of crap.

Laz worked a chicken processing plant for two years. Five years later, he had developed an auto-immune disorder, arthritis, all sorts of nasty, little crap pains and deterioration that could be linked back to the work and the chemicals - especially the cleaning chemicals - that he was exposed to.

He said most of the men and women who worked that plant lasted at most 10 years before they got to the point they couldn't work any sort of manual labor any more.
Since this was one of the two (now three) major employer in a small southern county, everyone knew people who were on or were filing for disability after they worked there. It was also the "last choice" employer for most of the employees, even if the hours were reliable and the pay and benefits were around $2.00 an hour better than Walmart or Hardees.
