Tell me what you do for work without actually saying what you do?

I have to deal with a town where it seems 2/3rds of the population are smokers, where all the foreigners that come in are grossly ignorant of the law, where half of everything breaks right before my shift starts, where there's a zillion rules to keep straight, and where it's always a mess no matter how you clean it. And the attached Subway store is no better. Also, the building foundation is slowly crumbling, it's physically impossible to comply with all the federal guidelines, tiles on the ceiling get moldy and disgusting after only two months, and my schedule can change on the fly if someone gets sick. The road right outside is incredibly dangerous, as half the drivers are insane. Police are very familiar with the area. Bad drivers get arrested at least once a week, and brats keep trying to purchase lotto and tobacco when they're not old enough. And get mad when the cashiers will have none of it.
I ride around in a big truck and spray water on things that are on fire.
The important part of my job can be summed up from this one quote from Scrubs...
"Doug wanted me to give this patient 500,000 milligrams of morphine. I thought I'd check with you before I kill a man."
Love that show lol
I use to love that show too lol
I wipe old peoples butts, clean, cook, do laundry, get groceries, and help organize.
You have my respect
Thank you, it takes a lot of patience to do it lololol
I know someone who worked at a nursing home and he told me that there was this blind man who also suffered from dementia. When he would wake up, he would forget he was blind and freak out. Saddest shit I ever heard. I'd never be able to do that
It really is sad. I really hate seeing my clients slowly deteriorate. I have one client who is 89 and I’ve been working for her for about a year and I’ve seen her health improve greatly, but I’ve also seen her mental state/memory decline. It’s sad….
Are you a home health aide lol
@TwinkleLily5 Yep lol

I show up at 1:30, get my first group of snot-noses at around 3:00 or so, and leave by 9pm, getting paid $32,000 a year (in Korean won) to work basically five hours a day and live in a rent-free apartment 20 minutes from Seoul. I love it! One of the best jobs I ever had.
I am a part-time parent from Mon-Fri. My job requires me to repeat things over and over again knowing the fact that the next day they will still forget. My stationery never lasts longer than three days.
I work in retail sales mostly with items that make a girl feel nice about herself and makes a girls partner want to make her feel nice about herself as well.
I am around cars all day, tranny fluid, brake cleaner, MATCO tools, and a forklift. I help the guys, order parts, write checks, pay bills, and deal w/the customers.
@CarolineW Transmission fluid. I'm just used to calling it "tranny fluid" for short
@TransAm85
"Tranny fluid!" 🤣 From the same makers of Genderfluid, right?
