    I’ll never have a paying career because there’s too much of a gap in my work history due to what I actually do with my life 😅

    The worst part of my job is a lack of government funding to continue doing what many people would consider to be incredibly important, meaningful work, not just for the current generation, but for future generations as well.

    People complain that their mistakes are costly, but also complain that the solutions to reduce mistakes are costly.

    I don’t clean up after myself and all the other tradesman get mad at me for it. It’s not my fault a laborer is paid half as much as I am and its cheaper if they do it.

    Entitled clients who think it’s super easy to just “change” something on a pre-set fabrication, which they fucked up by being bad at measuring. Metal ain’t cheap, but they seem to think it is.

    It’s a toss up between being threatened to be killed on a nightly basis and having literal shit thrown at me.

    It’s never happened but every time I do my job it has the potential to kill someone, although I have no physical interaction with the person who would be killed.

    Previous career, I would be hired by companies to go to their Chains and solve their problems. And the Chains would always try and change my report and lie about what I did and said if it wasn’t making the Chain look like a top performer.

    I wouldn’t be there if it was one though…
