I'm a night watchman at a care home for the cognitively disabled. Been doing that for 10 years now. I mostly watch movies on TCM and play videogames. Sometimes I have to clean up poop and pee, then it's back to movies and videogames.

I spend most of my days coloring, watching wrestling, and listening to the Grease soundtrack, while also trying to prevent violence and bloodshed from breaking out at any moment. Also a lot of worrying about how clean these hands are that are constantly grabbing at everything.

Before I left my career I was a chemist working for the USDA testing stuff for pesticides. Mostly for farmers. It was pretty fun, most of the other chemists didn't consider sitting in front of a computer looking at graphs all day fun though, oh well more graphs for me am I right???

Nobody knows, including me. I just pretend to look busy and annoyed for 8 hours and then go home. I'm also way past the point where it would be appropriate to ask so I'm just rolling with it until something gives

I am paid by a mysterious donor to visit a specific resturant 5 times a week at 11:30, walk in and ask whoever is at table 3 "Hey, aren't you that guy?" That's it. Then I go home and check the money transfer was completed.

I've made peace with the fact that I'll one day I'll be called in a meeting with two guys named Bob and one asks what I do here and I'll be shown the door. I'm too old to re-train.

Fiber optic and copper cable splicer for one of the big telcos. It pays very well for someone with no college (thank you, labor unions!) I have been there for 22 years, a few more and I've got a 401k and pension coming to me. It's a pretty good job as far as jobs go; it's skilled blue collar work I guess you could call it? I get dirty and sweaty jumping into manholes and getting into a bucket truck, but there is a lot of easy work once I start the actual splicing. We use a $10K machine that uses electricity to fuse thinner than hair strands of glass to each other that can transport many hundreds of Gb/s worth of data. It's pretty neat. I rarely have to talk to customers, I get to work alone, we're fairly autonomous, and I have an air conditioned trailer that I get to use most of the time when I'm outside after the dirty work is done. When I first hired on with the company I was a central office (think data center) tech and it was completely inside work, but the dot com bust and changing technology meant that I had to find another position. I then became the guy that would come to your house and fix your internet and / or land line. During my five years stint of that; I broke my femur, had a seizure and broke my wrist, got bitten by a dog, stung by multiple wasps and bees, got poison ivy rash multiple times, and was just run ragged working 50+ hours a week, usually six days a week. I like my current job way more.

I've worked at two drug and alcohol rehabs in the past as a clinical technician but recently made the switch to a non profit that focuses more on recovery coaching. A few days a week I'm in a local hospital where I get to chat with people who have been admitted to the ER for doing too much of their drug of choice (after they're stabilized, of course). I've been sober now for 3 years and it feels good to work in the community and give back

OP I'm sorry you never got to get your revenge on that horse there's nothing quite like suplexing a horse through a table to win a title belt. I am admin support for social workers in my county - either adults with physical disabilities, the elderly, or people in care homes. I'm learning to drive and once I do I'm going to step up to become a "babby social worker" they call an adult support coordinator. Until then I just answer calls and emails, take messages, collate information and minute meetings but I'll get there one day.

i run a small business doing electronic design and small-scale prototyping. it's small enough that it's just me and 1 other person full-time, and handling stuff like accounting/IT/etc. all kind of falls under the same umbrella. It's not what I thought I would end up doing but it's kind of neat to handle multiple different kinds of tasks on a regular basis, and I get a relatively large amount of personal freedom (if I need to pop over to the supermarket for something and it's not busy at the moment there's nothing stopping me, for example)

I clock in at 8AM then spend the rest of the day browsing YouTube or twitch or something, and going out with my wife to go shopping or to eat or whatever. Rarely I might be required to push a few buttons on my browser (usually done via google chrome remote on my phone while we're out doing stuff). Which is to say that I work in product support

I post and play Morrowind and get paid pretty well to do it. My company accidentally hired me ~14 months before my position was really necessary. Maybe I'll have stuff to do in October?  Sid Vicious posted:straight up i was building a snowfort and my mom left me to go do some work inside the barn and some big rear end horse came and reared up and kicked me it caused a contracoup TBI and so i habe really bad impulse control and emotional control problems as well as dyspraxia and aphantasia and probably autism but that might just be comorbid with all the other brain stuff and not because of it If only your snowfort had been stronger the horse wouldn't have been able to do poo poo to you.

Did nine years of maintenance work for a non-profit. I’d sometimes have to work outside in the AZ summer heat or crawl through some nasty places and get sweaty and filthy, but I enjoyed it. I love working with my hands and repairing/creating things with tools, and I was drat good at it. Now I sit alone in my own misery and crippling depression at home, unemployed and unwanted. Woot

i deal dice. here is the actual optimal way to play dice: bet the don't pass line and lay max odds. that's it. if you have a lot of money you can bet the don't come and lay max odds behind too. ideally you want a table with a low minimum bet and high max odds, sometimes you can find $15/100X. the house edge on this is about 0.014%. it is very boring, it is a good way to lose all your money very quickly to the sort of swing that happens multiple times a day unless you have an insanely large bankroll, and it will also annoy other players at the table. it will additionally annoy the dealers a lot unless you make your lays proper (and even then on say a $25 game they're gonna be stumped on $24,996 max lay on the 6 or 8. it will slow down the game a ton)
