I write - sometimes for fun and sometimes as a job. I'm also the primary caregiver for a three-year old. I spend a lot of time doing laundry and dishes and listening to podcasts. I play the same three video games over and over and over again.

I work in the office of communications for a k-12 school so I spend most of my days taking photos and writing about kids doing all kinds of cool poo poo like building robots and shooting off rockets and making art and playing sports and so on Working in higher ed doing the same sort of role was nice but this is by far the best job I've ever had Used to be a reporter but I left that career in the dust after climbing up to an editor position and realizing how poo poo the industry was and having no desire to be a publisher or exec or anything like that

I combine 3D part models, then document them. Essentially it's virtual Lego and paperwork. The place I work mostly does railroad accessories pertaining to the loading and unloading of stuff from railroad tanker cars. I'm in a niche department though, I assemble ~20' bongs that filter hydrochloric acid from water. Lego and Paperwork is a lovely fit for me and it took way too long for me to realize it. I did Marketing 3D stuff for nearly a decade but I am not good at spinning bullshit to sell products that I don't care about. Eventually I got laid off with half my coworkers because Sams Club went to "clean store" style. I worked at a grocery store for a bit and learned some CAD software. Now I'm making giant water bongs.

I touch computers for a research group at a cancer-specific hospital within the public health system. I'm in the engineering group, though my title is "advisor". This means that I drop into a number of projects to do whatever needs doing. Right now, I'm typing on my phone while waiting for an imaging program to chew through a 60GB 3D scan of a cancerous mouse breast - which will eventually generate a folder full of text files. Sometime later in the week I'll re-run an R workbook to generate some plots and statistics from that. Earlier today, we had a short meeting to introduce a new guy to a project and data set collected from patients with a specific cancer: We've joined an international consortium, and we're contributing our data to it. Which of course requires a whole lot of "what format do they want it in" and "how do we both keep this unidentifiable enough to be legal and identifiable enough that we can find and fix mixups". Later in the year, another group here will be training machine learning models on the complete international data set. I imagine I'll be part of making that work in practice. As soon as this image looks to be safely processing, I'll be heading over to help a master student debug and perhaps prettify some R code, and then I really ought to continue setting up the tape backup system. But I think that will have to wait. It's very relaxed in working hours, my boss and colleagues are all both smart and friendly, and there are few pointless meetings - but because it's so unmanaged, it's easy to take on too much work. And while I've got a safe position, many of the people I work with are working on grant funding that will run out, so they have a perfectly good reason to be a bit stressed about when things will be ready. When I come home, I cook dinner, write overly formal forum posts, and watch YouTube/pirated TV series and play games with my boyfriend. When I feel especially energetic I have a couple of hobby programming projects. I walk home most days, which takes about an hour.

I used to work on newspaper ads. It was lame. Sometimes I did newspaper pagination, which was kind of cool. Now I work on the packaging for  and other animal health products. It’s much easier and yet somehow pays much better. It rocks.

I do whatever I can really. Mostly agriculture based. Right now I'm bottle feeding baby cows, selling firewood, prep work for vegetables/community gardens, etc. I moved a couple of 50' shipping containers last week. Sometimes for extra cash I'll join a band, get burnt out on it, quit, rinse and repeat. I do all these same things for fun. Not sure what that says about me. I wish I was more into computer touching cause that seems like a great way to make money.

As far as productive things, I make/drink beer professionally and make/listen to music non-professionally. Other than those two things, not a whole lot. No real active social life to speak of. No family life other than my partner of 10 years and a dog. Play some vidya, watch some youtubes, post on some forums and discords and stuff to decompress. I like to keep things simple, helps me stay focused on the things that really matter to me.

I am a teacher and I'm behind on grading and contacting parents; want to procrastinate less for the rest of the year since I want my certifications to be upgraded to standard ASAP. Good on you for keeping on top of things, OP; as much as it sucks to take stuff home, procrastinating kicks us in the pants hardcore. UPDATE - contacted parents and also played my archtop for the first time in a long while; I was really happy to do the latter since I haven't been in the mood to play guitar much lately and I felt that spark being lit again after playing that particular one. Going to design some review stuff for my kids and do some light grading. Leroy Dennui fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Jan 19, 2022 |

I edit film and tv - the film part is generally short films, unpaid, and the tv part is generally well paid but demanding. for many years the paid stuff was not rewarding due to the types of shows i worked on but it's gotten much better in recent years, i now mostly do comedy. i'm freelance so if money is ok i can take whatever time off between jobs for life stuff like babies or trips, though the kids (and covid) have ended the trips part for now. sometimes i think this is the only remaining job of the original "freelance"/gig economy type remaining, where it's well compensated enough that the paid times are able to pay for big gaps in your schedule sometimes, so you have actual freedom to choose gigs, rather than pretend freedom to jump between uber eats and fuckin... lyft eats or whatever, and be screwed either way. generally my job means sitting in a room (sometimes virtually since covid) with a director or producer or whatever and watching many hours of poo poo and just talking about it and figuring out how it could be good if these 25 hours were just one hour. you are using a computer as a tool, but most of your job is communication (with your partner in the edit as well as the audience) and structuring ideas and story and deciding what's funny. insanely, many greyhairs in my job think their job is to be the best computer guy instead. i believe i've benefited career-wise from not being like them. i also spend a lot of time kicking myself that i'm not making my own films enough, painting enough, making dj mixes enough, writing enough, blah blah blah... career-wise i want to edit a feature, but the way to edit a feature from my position - not having edited one already - is to be friends with a short film director who gets their big break feature, but not a break so big-budget that the financiers don't let them choose their own editor. maybe there's other ways i don't know about.

For side stuff it turns out it's surprisingly easy and basically free to rip money out of the stock market. Like, 5 minutes of button booping, wait an hour, phone goes PING, here is some money. Community, I just one day declared myself as the caretaker of a neglected park and a few blocks around it, and it just kind of stuck. So now I gotta take care of the plants, remove trash (trash... trash never changes), check on people sleeping rough and deal with OD's/first aid and give help wherever to lonely olds or whatever. Work is just computers and loving whatever, I don't really give a poo poo and take whatever comes up, poo poo has gotten weird. I'm happier digging a ditch, chopping wood or hauling poo poo around, but I'll fix your Exchange server if the price is right. The Butcher fucked around with this message at 02:11 on Jan 19, 2022 |

quality assurance for software that is used to score customers and approve/deny loans based off customer data. This includes Do-it-yourself application Websites, physical store Tellers software and call-center workers software. It's easy and pays okay, but I hate it because they are evil fucks. But at least I don't ever have to deal with customers anymore, I just deal with internal employees which is such a decrease in stress its amazing. I used to do QA for a large fortune 500 company that dealt in storage hardware. It was much more interesting but the workload was insane compared to what I do now, and my current employer is local and doesn't do layoffs every god drat year in the fourth quarter to artificially inflate their stock. The constant churn and lack of job security was not worth the increased pay. I lasted 7 years with significant layoffs every year before they decided they were paying me too much and kicked me out to hire a new college graduate who was supposed to take over.
