Packing hemp seed
The edible stuff sold in health food shops not the more interesting stuff.
A cash in hand job, £5 an hour, 10 years ago.
Picked up from Brighton, driven out into the Sussex countryside and dropped off at a barn in the middle of nowhere.
A huge open silo full of seed and numerous 5 foot high blue plastic barrels to be filled, by hand , with a small hand shovel.
Before the driver left me there I asked what they expected.
Previous packer did an average of 6-8 barrels a day, with an hour break at lunchtime, as long as I maintained that, all would be well.
Someone would come back at 1pm to take me to a local farm shop for lunch.
By 11pm I'd filled 6 barrels and realised I'd probably shot myself in the foot so hid 3 of them behind the silo.
When the boss turned up instead of the driver, i was sitting on a hay bale having a cig, he didnt look impressed but when seeing the 3 filled barrels he relaxed and drove me off for lunch.
I got back, and then wandered off into the coutryside and spent the remainder of the day chilling out, I chanced upon some guys shooting pheasants and managed to blag myself a brace with sweet talk and smiles ( and delicious they were :) )
Got back to the barn, filled another couple of barrels out of boredom, got picked up for home, got cash in hand for 8 hrs work when I'd actually only done about 4, plus I went home with 2 pheasants and a thank you for being a good worker, sweet.

oh and by the way
There isnt much difference between mouse droppings and raw hemp seed unless you look very very closely.
When you are shovelling the stuff and flicking away live mice, you know you will never ever eat that seed ever!

I assume you mean 11am.
My pedant work here is done.

It's all the same plant despite what the propaganda says, the Dutch stuff may be a bit more evolved but the £1.99 a bag from pets 'r' us will still sprout and facilitate you calling the gods.

Excepting, of course, that minor detail about them being legal to grow for farmers only when they use strains bred to produce negligible amounts of THC. THC's not that important in getting high, right?
