11.30 am Groundhog Day (The O'Leer Cut)

Tune 1 comes on (there are various classical jingles broadcast throughout the day to tell people where to go- the beginning and end of each meal has a different song. You can’t help humming along with them and I’ve heard them so many times I know at exactly which point they suddenly cut off – they are really irritating!!) and that means lunch… to be fair everybody else in the factory has been working since 7.30 but I’m not quite ready. You have to eat it as there won’t be any more food until you get back to the city at about 7.30in the evening, but sometimes it’s a bit difficult when your body thinks its 3.30 am… Its generally the same type of thing everyday, some kind of soup made out of a leaf  which tastes super healthy, a meat/prawn spicy dish, some vegetables (for some reason chips today) and rice or noodles. I thought the orange stuff was just weird Vietnamese ketchup and took a big scoop on a chip- it was actually the hottest chilli sauce I have ever tasted so that serves me right!! I’ve only been given the chicken foetus dish once- I freaked out so much (you could see its eyes through the crispy battered coating) they haven’t bought it again!!
