Never worked in a freezer. But fixing a jammed conveyor inside an operating paint drying oven was not that fun. :P Hot (~90 °C, or 195 °F), dark and noisy stuff due to large fans.

I've never actually worked IN a freezer but had to support terminals that were in freezers at -20°C along with WiFi telnet terminals on forklift trucks that were in and out the freezers.

I've worked in a chilled area of a food factory, it was above freezing and not too bad (apart from the skin-shredding one-size-fits-all-hobbits gloves the company provided). Another place had a -20°C room which I went into about twice while the lab freezers were being replaced, but I didn't stay in that freezer long. I'd rather have worked in there than in the 37°C hot room though.

I've had the opposite problem, working in a government office where the so-called air-conditioning gave us a temperature in the 80s in January. I wanted to open a window, but it was locked and a colleague told me that I had to call maintenance to open it. Their response (at 10 am) was "We can probably come up some time this afternoon." So I improvised a tool, climbed on a chair, and did it myself. I was subsequently rebuked for two breaches of health and safety regulations!

Sounds like my esperience with a government job. Some maintenance guy forgot to turn a valve back and shut off the A/C in the barracks for my section of that unit. After a couple days of drinking two gallons of water a day and washing sheets every night since they were drenched in sweat from the previous night, I came to the realization that I had a perfectly good paycheck and didn't have to live this way. So I went and bought a window A/C unit and used it. It worked swell for the two+ weeks it took them to realize it was a valve. And I consequently got in serious trouble for having something they couldn't control. And was otherwise forced to put it back in the box and duct tape it closed plus put it in a storage closet (under supervision) plus vow to never use it again. Not that it mattered much for a base that routinely made the news for shutting off the power for hours every sunday until they were "back on budget" despite the pregnant military wives suffering in 100F+ government housing that routinely called the local news.

Thumbs up Never worked as a spell checkers, checkers... :p

Only worked in the freezer for about 5 months now and John VV they drop the temp on the weekends due to cheaper electric rates plus the wall hanging (outdoor, side of the garage style) thermometers are all next to the cooler\dock doors so likely not accurate..? (((It's got a hell of a network, if anything goes wrong engineers show up and did you know they track boxes of meat down to the DNA of said animal.)))

Also blast cells here for super chilling, the roll down doors make snow to constantly clean up and\or do donuts with the reach-trucks, stand-ups and walkie riders. That's a nasty aisle, Velcro never holds those doors tight!

Worked at some foundries in maintenance as the oiler\greaser\entry-level-mechanic (every nook and cranny) if winter got too cold could go catch a tan by some molten steel or so on. One summer an overhead crane broke down near a arc blast furnace, we were only allowed up there in 15 minute intervals with 10 minute breaks for (you guessed it if you worked at one) Gatorade.

Speaking of noisy stuff, when the fans in the freezer shut up so peaceful...

Thinking of getting a CDL lately? (<--blue is not fitting)

In the UK, all the "local" animals which make it into the food chain are able to be traced back to where they were born, who owned them, where they were kept (probably down to the field!) what they ate, which markets they moved through, where they were slaughtered, etc. See the 61 page DEFRA "Review of Livestock Identification and traceability in the UK" pdf (if you can be bothered reading it! ZZZzzzz....) Since we had the foot and mouth outbreak back in 2001, all meat has to be traceable back to its origin.

Play Bonny!

I worked for the stockyards back in the '70s/'80s. In the midwest, had to deal with extreme heat in the summer & cold in the winter. We had a shanty-shack to go inside when idle. Working in data centers for 20+ yrs., it's always cold, all year round. When I would goto work in the summer, people would ask why I got a sweater/jacket!
