    It’s kinda funny, I get that they were being sarcastic, but I read this message as sincere for me. I do like my stimulants and my desk job.

    Used to be a plumber, and nothing will make you appreciate working in a climate controlled room with a computer quite like having to get out a jackhammer to dig pipe trenches because the ground has frozen solid in the middle of winter.

    Grass is always greener I guess.

      whoa I’ve been both of these before! Residential service plumbing and then automotive manufacturing! now I’ve got a desk job at the house!

      fuck em all

      though real talk, yes i thank the fucks i am out of the field, which was better than the factory job.

      but now I’m getting fat and pulling muscles that hurt for weeks. and it’s harder to stay seated at this same desk for hobby tech shit after I’ve been here all day.

      stimulants either way though!
