Describe Your Work

I make shiny new things with spinning loops of wire that burn diesel fuel to make electricity to make other things do work. And if they get old and not so shiny and break - I fix them.
 
I look at dicks most days because they don't know how to wrap it the fuck up.....


Doc

Last time I was in Korea, had a young kid who was a regular at the Golden Gate, My House Up and other nefarious establishments ask if he could go to sick call. Sure, let me know what's going on. Forgot about it for a week or so until we crossed paths. I inquired about his health and he said he was fine. I guess he saw the look on my face and said he thought he had an STD.

Said he went to the clinic and quietly told the young lady what he thought. In a rather loud voice, she said, "The VD line is over there." Finds himself in a room with a couple dozen other idiots, tests are administered and they're told to return later.

Fast forward and all those pissing razor blades are reassembled, medic walks in with a clipboard and asks, "Who is "Smith?" The kid tells me he's thinking he is the only one burned. The medic says, "You get out. Everybody else get in line."
 
Dig in dumpsters, or accept donations, retrieve restorable items, take apart using very specialized tools of the trade, strip paint, remove rust, obtain new parts to replace broken/worn out/corroded parts by visiting the LBS, Repaint, with every attempt to make it as presentable and desirable to the customers as possible, reassemble with lots of lubes on all bearings/chains, give to the children of family who cannot afford to purchase one from the LBS or Walmart or some other store specializing in this product

Then, try my best to ward off criticism by my better half by spending more to restore than I could have purchased new and still giving it away for free.

Below is an example of my work

I look at wiggles and try to figure out if it was people-made or not-people-made.
 
I screw Mother Earth with a metal rod and lube, ream her bigger, then pull a bigger pipe in to plug her off.
 
I deal with engineers that are Japanese or some Asian muslims over email at night. During the day I am creating reports and inspecting parts/products for problems. I also deal with dumb kids in our repair department and sometimes whiny customers. Throughout I am talking shit and enjoying myself most days. Now I get to work from home most of the time.
 
I interpret the musings of highly educated children in an attempt to figure out what they really are trying to convey. Then I set my minions to work melting pieces of iron into a larger pieces that are then bolted to make a load bearing structure.
 
I go to old people homes and order them to do things they don’t like......exercise.
 
Monday morning quarterback for the crew that keeps people from winning a Darwin Award.

Used to lead the crew.
 
I install the provisions for what you need all day every day. All while being told I'm an overpaid and under worked dickhead by the super.

The days stuff blows up are fun and interesting.
 
Sometimes hot, sometimes cold, sometimes dark, sometimes light, sometimes pitch black, sometimes shallow, sometimes deep, sometimes cool, sometimes not cool, sometimes dry, but most times wet. Been hit by lightning, submerged in shit, dodged hypodermics and needle pointed rebar, sucked into a dam, bailed at 100ft, smashed in the mud by nuke plant trash racks, drug by a sand barge...... I should quit

I make sure really old organic matter continues to be made tiny and the goes into a big thingy that uses physics to make another thingy go roundy-roundy so we don't end up like Texas just did.

For people that hate people like me.👍
