I work in a steel mill as an automation engineer. I get to design all of the real time screens that the operators use to control the equipment and monitor production in real time, well almost real time. Probably less than half a second delay. I’ve been at the same company for over 17 years now. We just finished a $200million expansion project. The automation controls were done by a company in Kraków Poland, so I got to spend 15 weeks in Poland last year. It was pretty cool. So yeah, I really like my job.

If so count me in

Cool thread here. I’m a paramedic here in Houston, TX. I love to help people in need. Lately, it has been extra stressful with C19, but all in all, helping people that need my compassion makes it all worth it. God bless you all! And don’t forget your mask! Happy reefing!

I feel you. That's why I work where I do now. Got a new manager who was long on promises and short on delivery. Now I make more money and got the promotion I deserved.

I'm in the HVAC field. My days are hit and miss on loving it. I love problem solving and helping properties get their buildings running smoothly. The downfall is that half the people don't listen to my expertise. They just sweep problems under the rug until the building spirals out of control. Or argumentative factory reps not wanting to pay to fix their mess ups. Even bad days aren't too bad. I get to travel all over the state and work in some cool locations (Boeing data centers, Military bases, ect). New technology is coming out everyday that I have to keep up to date on. The pay is pretty great too, especially for a field job that didn't require 6+ years of college to hit this pay bracket.

Guess I'm blessed and need to learn over look the bad days.

i work for a company that provides services for kids with autism, i think it’s a beautiful job. so i must say i do love my job .

Thank you as my son is autistic and I know he can be a hand full sometimes. I find the more experiences I give him the better.

 

[Rubberfrog]

I'm self employed and my boss annoys me.

 

[Reef-junky]

As far as my job hate it. I make good money but that’s it.

 

[Gtinnel]

I test/play slot machines and games for my states lottery commission and I love what I do. I only work with a couple of other analysts that I get along with really well. I actually quit a job that paid more but I hated going to work everyday, I have learned from experience money isn't everything.

I know you brought those maggots home to feed the fish, right?

How did you know? I found out my fish don't eat maggots.

On the bottom floor of the NYC residential garbage incinerator the wall was cinder block and when you walked through there you heard crackling like rice crispies. It was thousands or millions of maggots coming through the wall and falling on the 6" deep layer of maggots already on the floor.

They were so thick, they pushed them into the river with a front end loader. ;Yuck

The place had huge chimneys and once a pigeon must have flew through the gases coming out. The thing crash landed on my neck. It was flapping it's wings slapping me on the sides of my head.

It kind of startled me and I finally got the unlucky bird off of me and he flew about 25' to the "river" and fell in just like when "Rodan" the prehistoric Pterodactyl crashed into a volcano. (Google it)
