Does this seem like a strange reason to like my job?

I have a part time night job as a 'hygiene operative' at a meat factory like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3z8RsuZU5E and I like it largely because although I'm the only brown skinned person on the hygiene team, I don't feel like I'm the odd one out because everyone is suited up exactly the same in chemical protective suits and face protectors. The other reason I like it so much is because I find the feeling of being in my tracksuit with multiple layers of protective clothing on top (lab coat and welly boots and then a chemical protection suit and face shield) comforting.

It feels like a sensory overload but in a good way.

It may be a strange, but so what?

If you like what you have to do to earn your daily bread for whatever benign reason then thats good.
