What's your job?

I'm SO curious to know what people do away from the screens!

What do you do for work? I'm a preschool teacher and work with kids before and after school. I feel like looking at me you would never guess that I teach. Many people think I'm in the fashion industry which is a total compliment, but it's not the truth. So what do you do?

I stare at screens at work too xD

My job is at a manufacturing facility, but specifically to look up in our system to figure out where orders currently are/supposed to be.

^Heliko, what processes does your facility employ. Any Injection Moulding/CNC/Die Casting? ?

Additive Manufacturing, man, that is goin' change the game.


Anyone want to guess my job?

11b. we just train all the time and when we aren't training we're doing manual labor or other menial tasks that need done. Mainly basic preventative maintenance of tactical vehicles, cleaning or moving/carrying heavy stuff around for POGs and officers. When we train, we either go to the field for simulated missions (force on force with sim-rounds or live fires with targets) or we go to a range for marksmanship. Other than that, we have physical training every morning where we either run or lift and some squads like mine have mandatory two-a-days in the afternoon as well. Then we have all kinds of tests that we do every so many months, such as combat fitness tests or rifle qualifications. When there's no training to do and no work left to be done, they make more, such as weapons maintenance or finding some sort of admin work/paperwork that you didn't actually need to do until like 4 months later and will probably have to do over when that time comes anyways. If you're lucky, they'll send you to a class to get a certification, like combat lifesaver (basically medical training for grunts) or a call-for-fire class (how to call for mortars).

im a stay at home boywife - u -"

i used to work retail, and i would side hustle with tutoring, baby sitting, and interned in graphic design and social media managing for a year.

i was a serious workaholic lol but now im fully disabled lmao T . T"

im in recovery now so hopefully i can be partially disabled or at least able enough to work some seasonal position in retail? :>

until then i'm just focusing on cooking and cleaning and stuff like that.

a lot of people assume i just sit online all day because my demographic of age (and probably my username but it's supposed to be ironic lmao), a lot of people don't believe disability can seriously impact employment :(

but even when i was working and even now no one expects that i work with kids either! i still volunteer at the local library and run programs for the children and adults and i love it <3 :D

but because im often associated with "monster energy femboys" or other kinds of internet circles (again because of my demographic being autistic trans and in my 20s with an ironic username, i can't blame them lmfao) a lot of people wouldn't believe that i am the best "teacher/manny" to many families in my community :3

I'm in grad school, so I work in research, and get TA appointments for certain quarters. It has its crunch periods which suck, but is pretty chill overall. It's hybrid, too, so I only go to my school office like 2-3 times a week.
