I take trees that someone else cut down and removed the limbs, then I replant and climb them.

I work at an electricity factory and distribution center. I have become painfully aware that 99% of the people on earth have absolutely no idea what powers their laptop.
I screen reports for discrepancies on a piece of equipment. Then someone signs for it and operates the piece of equipment. I fully expect it to come back broken. While this is going on, I manage a group of misfits who attempt to fix the other broken equipment.
retired sewage plant worker now looking forward to golfing.
I used to sit in a corner at my desk & at the other end of my CRT on the first floor below ground were a multitude of massive blue boxes. Those blue boxes controlled blue cabinets that were stored floors two to six below ground. The floors were half the size of a football field. I thought I was so Joe Cool.
Now, the Mrs. supports me in the manner in which I have been become accustomed to.

Made stupid people look smart. Retired now, bought a 2nd home hours away from anyone I know and stay there as much as possible.
I attempt to educate people on why they shouldn't click on links in emails that promise them free shit. This leads to the second part of my job which is investigating and cleaning up the security incidents that result because said workforce members know they are smarter than I am.
I sit at a bench, lay on the ground, look thru a tube with glass on both ends, and play with pointy objects that go "bang"! Mac
I drive around all night looking for trash. Trash collector is my answer when I get asked about my occupation.
I supposed to solve problems in minutes that have taken years to create, children or adults make no difference. I'm supposed to have solutions instantly. Im supposed to accept that there are people out there that know how to do my job better than me. I'm supposed to accept suffering of some and then deal with idiot piece of trash without going overboard. Im supposed to know that people live and people die and that my instantaneous decisions may put me on the news only to have every "expert" that knows how to do my job better than me pick my decision apart millisecond by millisecond. I'm supposed to have loads of compassion for family members that just lost a loved one (be it suicide, OD, accident) then turn right around and have that same compassion for the loud belligerent drunk I've dealt with many many times as he calls me every name in the book. I'm supposed to have laser like accuracy with weapons regardless of the circumstances, and never miss.
This is my 15 year doing this job of a trash collector.

I melt steel together to repair equipment mining the most horrible energy source ever discovered. Albeit one of the best in my opinion 
Im in charge of things and stuff.
The money is better than most jobs. I work for mainly rich liberals. Im bent over all day long. My back hurts and hands smell at the end of the day.
I supervise a group of well educated people that make more per hour than I do and that constantly ask me to do their jobs for them.
I move liquids and solids
Sometimes I wiggle wires and hope.
A hammer is a technical tool
Usually I stare and hope it works

I try to get the thoughts and words out of a clients’ mouth to the person who draws fantasies on paper, to be reviewed by govmint folks that all to often don’t know their arse from a hole in the ground, to people who actually try and interpret the fantasy drawings and do the actual work to end up with a place you can walk into and eventually get well.

Varies from day to day. Today the wife, uh boss may tell me to take out the trash. Monday it could be lawn duty or painting the dining room because she bought a new painting and she needs the walls to bring out the blue...whatever that means. Allowance is never late, I get weekends off and nap time is generous.
You find happiness in people owing money to the gov, or just people having emotional distress?
I herd cats and help people sleep at night.
I run a factory where our raw material is your byproduct and our product makes your raw material better and more sustainable.
Hahaha. I used to be a regular at what they called "social medicine" at sick call. It got bad enough they threatened to kick me out of the country. So I decided to self medicate with eradicil and tetracycline.

I find happiness in profitable companies. Profitable companies owe taxes. No one likes to pay taxes. But, it is a fact of life. I find the antics of tax payers humorous.
Everyone loves snow, but most do not like cold. Same thing.
Oh and by the way, my post was rife HYPERBOLE. Just like most everyone else.
