I'm a CNC machinist who they discovered is good at computer stuff, so now I'm mostly administration. Pros: I still get to develop prototypes and machine new tools or jigs on rare occasions. Cons: Everything else. gently caress outlook, gently caress excel, gently caress erp, gently caress production documentation

pros: I am having a blast doing stuff I have wanted to do for a very long time, I work in a historic theater building and over lockdown got to crawl through and explore nearly every inch of it, I built and catalogued a film archive, I've learned more than I ever thought I'd learn from this job and am about to learn a lot more, the people I work with are all awesome and know their poo poo, and when it comes to dealing or arguing with horrible customers and performers the management has our backs cons: most of our business is a dying artform, there's absolutely no real money in the job which means I can't make rent doing just this alone, I threw my back out over the winter playing sokoban with kegs in the walk-in, the neighborhood is on the cusp of having the gently caress gentrified out of it, and every time the tightwad owner sees red ink he freaks out and decides it's time to sell out to live nation or the bowery and the ops manager has to go talk him down

Pros: Relatively small salvage yard that's easy to keep looking nice. I love taking things apart, and cars have a lot of parts. I've learned a lot about cars and the scrap metal industry. Don't have to worry about breaking things too much; it's a junkyard, you get what you pay for. It's <10 minutes from my house. It pays pretty well and I can skip the gym membership cause this poo poo is a workout all day. Cons: It's located in a decent size town for a rural area, but the turn over here is really high, and it's almost impossible to get somewhat intelligent, reliable, and sober people to stay. Nothing but tweakers and young goofballs that have no idea what they're getting into until it's too late. It's hard work and it's very easy get injured if you're not careful.

Best: i get constant praise for the most mundane, easy poo poo. "Nice finally having some positivity and help around here! You're a jack of all trades!" Immediately after setting up a printer Worst: I'm still trying to figure out what my actual job is

Another cool thing, perhaps the most fun thing, about working in a salvage yard is finding all the weird poo poo people leave in their vehicles. Among other things I've found: a full drumset, an entire gas station's worth of barely expired potato chips, an electric scooter, a Sriracha bottle Halloween costume, an urn filled with ashes (it was the car owners brother apparently). Way more TVs than you might expect. Just today I found three bowling balls and a lawn mower engine in a Tahoe.

Is there a particular make/model of vehicle that consistently has good finds in it, or one that's cursed with consistently the worst finds?

The best thing is I'm largely unsupervised and I'm actually using my degree again. The worst thing is probably the commute. The shop manager is a loving chud too.

Best: I feel like I am genuinely making a difference in children's lives, I have an enormous sense of purpose, and I'm also finally back in the field I went to college to be in after a 10-year hiatus of working for family members and also a stint at Walmart that legit made me suicidal. Worst: I have been bitten on the arm twice in the last two months. The first one broke the skin pretty bad and I had to go to the doctor, and the second one hurt just as much despite wearing a kevlar sleeve. Still the best job I've ever had.

So many good things. Paid an actual living wage to make video games, flexible hours, free video game stuff, office full of free snacks and energy drinks. The worst thing NOW is that I'm one of like 5% of employees that come into the office. Everyone else works from home, but I go stir crazy insanely quick, get distracted easily, and really crave social collaboration.

I am paid reasonably well and I have decent benefits and I get to work from home where most people I work with leave me alone...mostly but Every time my phone rings I pretty much want to shoot myself. I have an array of skills wide enough to choke Alex Jones but currently I am a glorified babysitter and can do so much better but nobody will compensate be better for less abuse than I have to put up with now, so I am a technical engineer still, or rather, again. (I used to be an international boardgame publisher before the motherfucking pandemic and Trump. I really don't like fixing computers for developmental kindergarteners. Save me, please.)

The best thing about land surveying is you get to go to a new place virtually every week The worst thing is probably when you're just about to pack up and the client turns up and asks for more work, labelling the 6th setout diagram of the week or getting caught in the rain.

my job is essentially bossing engineers around when their poo poo breaks and acting like I understand the technology. It's pretty cool and I make way too much money to essentially talk for 2 hours when a call starts and watch YouTube videos the other 8 hours of the day

Pros: A good mixture of part-time and freelance work that’s paid well and uses skills/interests I’ve built up over years. Great coworkers and good benefits at the part-time job. Cons: My freelance work is going to get destroyed by AI at some point in the next few years and currently makes up >2/3 of my income, so I’m having to balance two jobs while I study a third specialisation.

I found a small vinyl bag full of crack jammed between the battery and inner fenderwell on a broken Tahoe that some used car dealer brought to me straight from the auction to fix. I split it with my employees Friday after work, it was probably an interesting weekend for all of us. This was like 25 years ago.

Serious_Cyclone posted:Is there a particular make/model of vehicle that consistently has good finds in it, or one that's cursed with consistently the worst finds? Minivans. They're cheap and big, so people sometimes treat them like dumpsters, at least the ones that end up at the yard. It really depends on where the vehicle comes from, more than make/model. Some old person dies and their family is just trying to get rid of their stuff? The car is immaculate. A car sitting behind a barn for two decades? Mouse nests, feces, and corpses. A car from the country sheriff's impound lot? Chock full of trash, clothes, loose change, empty beer cans, etc. oh dope fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Apr 16, 2023 |
