It's really shitty, and virtually no one will respect you, but it is pretty easy for the most part.
Right out of high school, I had three options:
1. Manual labor.
2. Customer/food/retail service.
3. Security guard.
I tried the first two, but didn't much care for them, so I went with the last (legal, at least) option.
Around these parts, though, it's a minimum wage job. If it paid $40 an hour, I'd have just swallowed my pride and kept going… Maybe work my way up to some kind of security supervisor.
It would suck compared to my current ambitions, but it would have at least paid the bills and not been physically exhausting.
lol at the no one will respect you part.. so true.

i do listen to the histories of heroditus and the golden bough, the golden fleece, etc. but i worry after driving in circles for hours, i'd be hypnotized by the librivox contributors warm, soothing voice and repetition, and maybe miss the niggers trying to sneak in and do whatever it is that niggers do with other peoples stuff.
"This is a Librivox recording, all the Librivox recordings are in the public's domain". I hate hearing that all the time. -

I’m in the energy sector. I don’t like to say more than that because not a lot of people do what I do specifically. It can be used to identify me
why are you so afraid of getting dox, your so inert you neither are political nor a propornent of deviancies like pedophilia/faggotry etc etc and you claimed not to be phat.
what are you afraid of ? -

hahahah you thought i meant 'technician who does technical work on flags, as in rectangular cloths'. that's hilarious, i'm gonna make jokes based on that at work.
'flag' means that each operation i perform has a 'book time', which mandates how much time i get paid for a warranty labor op, multiplied by my pay rate. so if a water pump pays 1.5 man hours, and i do it in 30 minutes, i get paid for 1.5 hours during that 30 minutes. on the flipside, there are lots of book times that screw you in the ass, so sometimes, you might work for 2 hours and get paid for half an hour, if you fuck up, or if it's just a particularly stingy/unreasonable time.
customer pay work is significantly better, because the standard is just 2x booktime, and for stuff that isn't regular, the service adviser will just ask you what you're charging the customer, and it's not uncommon to charge 8 hours of labor for something that takes 2 hours. i've never done a V12 engine, but top guy on our side of the facility, who has done most of the v12's here, charges 112 hours of labor to remove, rebuild, and replace one, and he takes 3 days to do it, one day for each part. so he's getting paid for 112 hours of work by wednesday, and god knows he probably makes about twice what i do. -

Originally posted by Sudo that would make sense but mechanics usually charge over $40 an hour so idk why this would be attractive to him if he is getting paid this way. If he was a typical mechanic he would probly get a standard hourly rate but the cheapest mechanic I've ever even heard of charges $50 an hour
the place i work charges 150 dollars for an hour of my labor. i don't get paid anything fucking close to that. for side work, it's always for people i know anyways, so i just charge based on how much of a pain in the ass it is and how much i like the person. -

Well duhhhhh. Did I say all that money went to the mechanic? NO. I’m just telling you that the price of labor in our repair shops is $140. My God you jumped all over that without comprehending.
Someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed today? It’ll be ok, I promise -

Lol I actually don't typically day drink. My usual routine is to end a long and productive day with a night cap or twelve.
Right now, though, most of my day to day work consists of making architectural decisions for relatively small scale web applications, and writing the "infrastructure as code", as they say, in template files for deployment to "the cloud."
I hate how much I have to use buzz words because they sound kinda lame, but it's the language them corporate types just eat right up. -
2020-03-25 at 6:05 PM UTCyou mean you just use adobe xd to design templates for how web sites and web apps will look when an actual coder creates them right?

Actually I do virtually zero front end stuff these days.
These templates are key-value dictionaries (can be YAML or JSON, most prefer YAML, I prefer JSON), that define the resources (i.e. file storage servers, database servers, application servers, networking and routing protocols, and a fuck ton more) that will be deployed/provisioned to cloud services (I mainly use AWS).
Sometimes I translate visual mockups to a simplified representation in HTML/CSS, but I generally leave the finer points of visual design to someone who specializes in it. -
2020-03-25 at 6:10 PM UTCwhats the difference between designing them in adobe xd vs just using illustrator for the mock ups?

I'm really not an expert in that kind of stuff.
There seem to be a lot of software tools that people use to get from visual design to browser hosted deliverables.
I've used React before, but only ever written the code by hand.
I have heard that there are even tools that let you draw a visual design and then they actually spit out React code... Pretty fancy stuff, if it's actually real.
Like I said, though, I don't really do that kind of stuff that often these days, and I've never actually used any Adobe products (in the last 5+ years, at least).
