One piece of equipment suddenly disappears from your job and you’re unable to do your job. What is it?

[Booklover_90]

For me, the phone.

[matchrestore]

Computer. Yes, people held my occupation for years before the advent of the computer, but so much of what I do is tied to the computer now that it would be nearly impossible for me to do the volume of work I do without it. I could maybe do 10-15% of the work I do now if I was doing it with pencil and paper.

[DrPepper12]

Depends, early in my career I would have said the overhead projector (the teacher had transparent slides or wrote on them) textbooks and ruled essay paper.
When I left it was Chromebooks, smartboard and scantron testing blanks.
Great question!! a lot happened in 2+ decades!!

[midnightmoon05]

I can still do my job without computer or iPhone or smartboard…

I just need my books.

[HaleyWalker]

The key to get back into 7-Eleven me looking in seeing it on the counter

[DishLady]

The computer hooked to one machine (bc it’s the only one that can read that machine).

[mandyfire98]

I'll pick one aspect of my job. A pole. I'd lose some if my classes.

[Flatmanlewis]

Now, that leaves me to wonder if the internet has ruined me entirely because I can only think of two jobs which normally require a “pole” and I don’t imagine you are fishing for a job.

[mandyfire98]

It might surprise you. It's not fishing or stripping.

But it is a pole dancing class I teach. I'm a dance instructor

[Flatmanlewis]

Okay. My mind needs a deep cleaning then since I didn’t think about that. That’s a truly impressive physical sport and very beautiful to watch.

Good on you!
Shame on me.

[mandyfire98]

I mean to be fair, I think everybody thinks of stripping when it comes to pole dancing because that's where it started.

[mandyfire98]

It's only natural to think that.

[Flatmanlewis]

I tried to really think of what that “one thing” would be but I came up with a list of about ten things that would grind my job to a dead stop. I never realized how fragile my position was!!

[elduderinosupreme]

Fuck. If one p8ece of equipment cripples your ability to not do your job, your employer is fucking stupid. Mine is in fact stupid. Router goes out. That's it. No more function.

[Fireguy17]

I would say the keys to the ladder truck, but it doesn't have a key.

[NathanDavis]

the floor...

and now is all lava

[Booklover_90]

🤣🤣🤣

[Booklover_90]

I love your responses.

[NathanDavis]

lol... thanks

most welcome?

[Twalli]

Computer. That's the only thing I need for my job. Internet and stuff also, but I can get thrm elsewhere to do my job.

[JacobJordan]

Liquid nitrogen tanks. Those vanish billions of dollars of various things are lost. Years of research as well

[FreyaRed]

My morning coffee and Sirona Axano treatment unit.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

My work laptop. Can't do anything without it.

[Anonymous]

My antidepressants, so now I have the customer who yelled at me in a chokehold. Oh well.

[onedarkcloud]
