I'm open to interpretation!
I would really like a job where I'd be doing something good for humanity. As of right now my main duty is to reset old folks' cable boxes because they wanna watch fox news. I always wanted to be a teacher, but I was convinced that STEM was the only way I was gonna avoid poverty. Well I was terrible at it, and dropped out, and now look at me.

I am a patient they.

WRT weed jobs: you will lose your license and go big jail if state inspections or cops catch you with personal use open weed (as in not sealed new in package) on the job in any state. Real real. And you can't vape nic on premises. It sucks but thems the breaks.

How much does an undertaker make if you don't mind me asking? I probably won't go for it because moving several tons of dirt a day will kill me. And they won't even let me die in the grave I dug.
(At least that's what I assume burying meemaws refers to. Unless you're suggesting I start knocking grocery store shelves on top of old ladies as part of life insurance fraud schemes.)

i work for a local government and so I don't earn commission on stuff as I would otherwise at a private cemetery, or like working for SCI or whatever, but I make like $18.50 an hour. I'm not an undertaker, so I don't have to push things like caskets or vaults or services or packages or whatever. but I do sell property and arrange services, deal with grieving families and do field work every now and then. Used to be more like 70/30 outside/inside.

I took the job because at the time, it was a $6 raise. lol. now I make just barely more than if I were still the one literally burying meemaw.
When I took the job, it was right after COVID hit and everyone was dropping. it was just me and my boss all day every day running 8 cemeteries and we rocked that poo poo. it was ride or die. it was my favorite job ever.

I'm chained to a desk now and it sucks.
I honestly miss digging graves and cutting grass...kind of. parts of it.
Feels like there can't be too much out there that would shock or disturb me anymore at this point.

One of my favorite things about this job, though, is telling people I never wanna see them again.

Kegged, reorganized the cold room, cleaned the line on a beer the restaurant manager let sit empty for several days, put the kegs away, CIPed the tank, and had lunch (pizza). All I have left is to SIP, blow down, and pressurize the tank and tank some samples and measurements and I'm home free!

also I wish the other guy in my department would tell me when we're running low on one of the casts I'm responsible for. I fill boxes with limbs, he paints em before they go downstairs, as needed. yesterday when I was packing up someone came upstairs and asked for the doll limbs, I went to the box and there were only two sets of arms and no legs at all. thanks for emptying this and not saying anything dude.

Not on premises and not on the clock. It's specifically written that way to protect the states and distributors from liability.

a spectre is haunting the Work Krew — the spectre of communism. all the powers of old Work Krew have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Manifisto and GaG, French Radicals and German police-spies.

I got this new job like 6 weeks ago. It's fully remote, which means I only come in like 4 times a year. This week is one of those times.

I'm mostly hanging out with this 25-year-old woman. So, half my age. We're getting along really well. We stayed after work and talked for like 90 minutes today, about where she wants to go in life. Seems like she doesn't know, which I think is appropriate for a 25-year-old. But she did say she'll probably change jobs in a few years.

If I stay here for 20 years, they'll give me another week of vacation. :smith:

It's looking like the second half of my career will be spent mostly in isolation.

I'll be able to retire, but then what? I've watched some older people retire and seen various ways of handling it, and I think I'm likely to be the type that comes right back to work, so my plan right now is to not retire.

(I actually like my job, for the most part. I realize not everyone has a likeable job and that I'm fortunate to be in this position.)

One of my co-workers lives in a van, and people can not stop asking her the same questions about it. It's actually kind of nice being upstaged by her: my work makes me pretty visible to a lot of people and that can get exhausting for an introvert.
