Thanks. Maybe now my wife will understand why I found it necessary to take out those ads at our personal expense.

Basically I guess what I do for a living is that I am a freelance salt. I get jobs primarily to try and unionize the workforce. I am also apparently really bad at it, because I keep getting fired in less than a year of working anywhere after advocating for basic labour rights for myself and others

I have my nursing degree, I work as a perioperative nurse primarily in emergency surgery (not as exciting as it might sound - emergency in this context basically means āhas to happen before the patient can leave the hospitalā. Some things are drop-everything-we-gotta-fix-this-right-now situations but most are sometime-in-the-next-day-or-two). Itās a cool job: I never know exactly what Iāll be doing each day, it directly and tangibly helps people, the actual work is interesting, the hours are pretty good for nursing work (weāre open 24/7 but most surgery happens in business hours so Iām not doing night shift every other week or anything), and while I couldnāt point to a particular person who wouldnāt be alive if I specifically had not been there, I am a cog in a machine that saves lives.

if i had to push the things myself i would have been on the news some time ago. luckily we have Radio-Controlled Machines to do the hard parts of parking lot runs for us. however, someone recently stole The Good Remote after iād set it down for ten seconds an hour before the store closed, so it is slightly less convenient than it used to be. the relative speed of the machine means i can work with the flow of traffic, which keeps me from getting honked at, but they are also prone to turning themselves off for a minute or so mid-run, so yelling still happens. hell hath no fury like an american realizing they have to pick a different parking spot

I manage a food processing pilot plant at a university. I maintain equipment, help conduct research, teach students, conduct industry projects, and provide training to inspection agencies and industry representatives.
But really, 90% of my job is eye rolling at outrageously old faculty members that are way too old to still be working but are too scared that if they retire theyāll die immediately.
ā¦ are you my mom?

I am in a union and am a delegate and itās really stressful when I have to step away from my actual job to do union stuff, because itās hard and it sucks, but it needs done. Part of why I like my actual job so much is because of the union protections, and to help preserve those I feel obligated to step up and do some stuff for the union to help ensure we get to stay a union.

Iām a social worker. Used to work 11 years in a bilingual elementary school, I donāt know how I survived that long. It was heck. Then 1.5 years in a foster home for misfit teenagers that got taken from their families by child protective services. Really toxic place to work, unfortunately.
Now I support people with disabilities, I basically visit them at home and offer help with adulting and participating in general life.

That makes a lot more sense than my interpretation, for sure. Though I think smashing corn dogs could be fun. Also, veggie dogs make pretty solid corn dogsā¦
