Yeah, but I don't hold with that level of societal lying. I have standards.

When I retire I'm going to become a beekeeper and never touch a computer again. I'm willing to settle for a life working part time at the home depot gardening section just taking care of the flowers.

Deep Glove Bruno posted:It's upthread, I'm an offline editor. The fun, storytelling part of post (in my opinion of course). I've heard some horror stories about vfx labor practices. Game dev level crunch hours and stuff. Have you been able to avoid the worst of that? Are you freelance or full time at one place? Oh nice! Editing has always been black magic to me, so you have my utmost respect! I’ve sorta lucked out in my career - I’ve been freelance contract for the majority of it, with a couple of main clients. Right now I’m full-time contract with a studio and consulting at another, which is working out well enough. And my specialty is early enough in the pipe that OT comes up rarely and I just bill 1.5x when that happens and they pay. Have coworkers on the comp, fx, and animation sides that put in 60 hour weeks regularly, for months at a time though. I do not envy them, heard enough stories to know that I’m never touching comp if I can avoid it.

My great uncle was a beekeeper, he was also a postman to make the mortgage but mostly it was about the bees. It's surprisingly easy in 2021, back when he started in the 1930s you had to build everything yourself, and like with PC building in the 1990s there was massive amounts of gatekeeping from people who didn't want anyone else to know their secret ways were just knowing how to build a hive and the basic patterns of bees. These days you just buy everything off the internet, including the bees.

I work maintenance in a small factory. For the most part I just walk around the floor aimlessly. Sometimes I clean machines, sometimes I help with preventive maintenance.

when something is urgent at my job, I will just put “Urgent” or “Rush” at the front of my e-mail subject line. But some other people say “HOT”, or my least favorite, “HOT RUSH” which makes it sound like the project manager is about to have an orgasm

I work at a tiny public library and do maybe two hours worth of work for all day. The pay sucks, but it gives me time to read cool books and make art. I'm just waiting for my NFTs of farting into a desk fan to sell, then I'll be in the big time!

I have a corporate job that's basically indefinitely work from home now, which is great because I spend 30 minutes every day looking at some reports then I go take a 4 hour nap or play video games. Then, I do whichever of the previous two things that I didn't do first. Maybe answer an email or two the rest of the day. Besides that I generally just go out with my wife to the store and stuff and chill with my cats or take more naps. It rules, I hope I can keep this job forever.

I looked into living at a buddhist monastery as a monk, and they're happy to take you but they all expected lifetime commitments and you were never to leave the monastery, so it sounded like it would be very difficult to leave if you ever changed your mind. Like it would probably take more than just packing up and walking out the door

I am a proposal manager for a megacorp. I didn’t know squat about proposals before I fell into this career and I feel pretty fortunate that this is where I ended up. I’ll never make computer touches money but it’s not too shabby for an English major!
