well, I’m still in the training process, but I’ll be drawing blood. I think that’s interesting as hell!
Professional vampire. Noice
Sounds cool but I draw like a preschooler.
I get to pet a lot of dogs
That we ingest several petabyte of data from our customers every month.
Do I need one or two of my ADD pills to make this shit bearable
I’m a software dev, but I also do all the design architecture and infrastructure work. I like that there are new problems to aolve every day so it doesnt get so boring.
For people at large, nothing. I’m a data engineer. Eyes immediately gloss over when I tell them. I do have a tool that is a one stop shop potential violation of PII rules.
What’s PII?
Personally identifying information.
I work for a bank, so it’s interesting meeting all kinda of people and understanding how they do their banking and what they do with their money
Professional vampire. Noice
I get to invoke and tease people about one of thier biggest fears that terrify them and they pay me to do it.
I’ve only had two people back out on me. After they make it through they are always so happy they conquered it, it’s awesome watching the process from start to finish.
I also sometimes remember that my job feels routine to me and I do it without thinking most it the time but it’s a crippling fear for most people and I do it 5 to 15 times a day on a tropical island without a second thought.
Just how ungodly unstable almost every towns infrastructure is. Water mains failing at alarming rates, massive sewer backups, people in charge of this shit have no idea what they’re doing and the ones who do, won’t spend the money until something catastrophic happens.
So it’s not just the tech industry
Definitely not haha. I won’t name the town sauce I don’t wanna doxx myself or upset said town but, they had 39 main breaks last month just due to old failing mains and bad valves. You’d think maybe as you’re turning those mains off and hit find that those valves are leaking, you’d wanna maybe note that so you can replace them later? Naaaah why do that? They mostly shut the main off. It’s fiiiiiiiiiiiine.
The online training videos at my workplace use the same artificial lady voice as the tutorial lady voice in the game Hypnospace Outlaw.
Mine is that I don’t have it.
I get to play with pills
That i get to travel Australia to all these remote places.
And i get to go on container ships sometimes and always get lost
I film blind people for a living. Hearing their stories is always so inspiring.
I also film puppies, so could be worse!
