Let’s get to know each other. What is your occupation?

Let’s start with me. I work with cars in sales administrations and inventory control/management.

I still have to meet and deal with customers even though I’m supposed to work behind the scenes 🙄 😡

I work at an old mental hospital built in 1814. Many famous patients have their processes recorded and some of the methods used on the patients are taboo. I swear the building is haunted. It is now a mental organization that supports an environment for people working with mental health related jobs.

I am in a property managing team that make sure the building will last another 200 years 😂👍

I work at a gas station to pay the bills. Customers drive me nuts, but I'm the most thorough cleaner that store has ever known.

I my free time, I'm an aspiring novelist and machininator.

I also do graphic design and photography for hobbies, though I have a devil of a time securing freelance work Customers either never show up, or take advantage of me. Expect the finest from me, but are themselves unreliable for feedback, comment , pay compensation, etc. And they love to waste my time, make me make really petty changes to designs, act like it's the end of the world if I don't, then reject the design in the end anyway, to instead pursue some chicken scratch they made in MSPaint, because they made it. It's a BMP file, because they don't know how to save as a PNG. And it's useless for making banners larger than a wallet sized business card, but they flaunt this folly anyway, just to be ungrateful for the time I spent trying to make them look all corporate and professional. Basically, total assholes.

I help around the house, and trying to build the setup I need to be just as effective for doing everything except for machinomics everywhere else I go has led me down a road of experimenting with virtual machines and Linux.

I now know worlds outside of Windows, and have a Surface Go 2 tablet that runs Mint Cinnamon, but with an external SSD in its bag that uses VirtualBox to run a much larger virtual drive off the external physical one, containing macOS Monterey.

So now, I can run Affinity Publisher, XCode, Affinity Designer, and MS Office 2029: Mac from anywhere. For everything else, my Linux programs work just fine. The only thing I can't do remotely, is play The Sims 4. Unless I bring the PS4 with me.

These venues of design have opened up other hobbies. Interior decorating. Scented air freshener experiments. Home improvement. Carpentry. Office organization.

Now if only that one library would call me back for an interview. I could get a job closer aligned with my hobbies. I like the manager at the gas station, but the customers push my buttons. At some point, I need more out of life than having to constantly play defense against asswipes.

Well, I am currently waiting to get an interview at this job that I had applied for so I can provide for myself. Next month, August, I am going to college to study mechatronics; I want to work with technology, and hopefully I'll be able to work for Apple or maybe even Microsoft. After I am finished, I am going to go back to college to study automotives; I want to fix cars. My aunt encouraged me by saying that it is good to learn this and that because you may not know what you want to do in the future. I see myself having a full-on busy schedule if I ever finish both college years.

Ευδεμονια · Answer

So you are paid to do a work but your real work exceeds your theoretical mansions, I think it’s really common 🙈

I’m a designer at an engineering studio, we calculate, design and elaborate structural projects for houses, condominiums, logistic and industrial plants. Plus we have a role in construction supervision and we participate in public investment programs for urbanisation works (projects for water regulation, roads, underground services and conferment centres). My role should be only the designer intended as a technical drawer who only produces drawings for projects, so I shouldn’t have part in calculation and engineering of the project, I shouldn’t go make inspections on worksites… but in reality I do all that 🙈

Pilot boat captain and occasional tugboat deckhand

Long, strange hours and extremely dangerous if you don’t have your head in the game. But I have very little people stress and being the captain has the perks of being the one that makes the final call, no matter what the boss or customers want.
