i once had a job operating a machine that put protective nylon weave on vehicle wiring looms. the guy working the machine next to me came in blazed as gently caress every morning, smoked at morning break, lunch, afternoon break, and all the way home (walking down a 4-lane road with no footpaths). at least once a day i'd hear "errrr heeyyy duuuudddddeee.........." and l'd have to go and cut him free because he's somehow managed to reach into the machine and get his arm or shirt covered in nylon braid

early in my career i worked at a company that printed business cards. they had some poo poo that would seriously gently caress up your day. pro tip: never wear rubber gloves while cleaning rubber rollers in a machine that moves around cardstock unless you're okay with your hand becoming the thickness of cardstock. goddamn janitor witnessed the accident and ran across the entire plant to the it office and asked us to call 911 instead of using one of the 10 phones he ran past.

BMan posted:good on that guy for finding the one industrial machine that won't maim you for sticking your arm in it the machines were from the 1950s or 60s and dangerous as gently caress (multiple things rotating in different directions at ~2k rpm and very little to stop you sticking fingers where you shouldn't), but the central part the wiring passed through would just cover whatever went through it in very loose weave and it was more annoying to get things caught rather than getting body parts ripped off.

i worked nights for the post office at a mail processing center and every night over half the people were drunk/high, and some of those machines were pretty dangerous if you weren't careful. a lot of the people that would work drunk would run out to their cars on breaks, take a few shots, then constantly use hand sanitizer for the rest of the night in order to hide the smell of the alcohol on their breath

i used to work at an oil change shop, and as soon as the owner left in the morning to gently caress off for the rest of the day, we'd all go down into the pit to smoke a bowl with the manager

Elder Postsman posted:tbh i kinda like computer touching as a job but it would be a lot better if i could do it for just like 30 hours a week and have more time for my own stupid computer projects this is basically what i do now. it varies, but i average somewhere around 10-20hrs a week, most of the year, with occasional crunches for larger projects. i make gently caress all by yospos standards, but it pays the bills and i live comfortably enough

i do think work smarter not harder+managing expectations around that to have an effective sub30 hour workweek is the general computer toucher playbook
