Sometimes that's the only compensation we get for them. Josh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lychee Annabel, I’d love to hear more about those jobs, they sound like good stories.

I worked in the kitchen on a kibbutz in Israel. It was a massive canteen catering for 1000s of people. It was hot, steamy and I got burnt plus all the people hated me and blamed me the schnitzels weren't cooked right. I didn't last long. Got transferred to lychee picking. I had to start at 4am and deal with the other workers from Lebanon throwing lychees at me. They were only trying to be friendly but they couldn't speak english so this was how they got my attention. A well thrown lychee aimed at the forehead can be quite painful though. Definitely agree with "Don’t be afraid to ditch a line of work if you don’t enjoy it." I ran away to the Sinai and spent a summer weaving friendship bands on the beach instead. Much more fun:) Brilliant, makes mine seem pleasant. I worked in the kitchen on a kibbutz in Israel.
