Man, there are some jobs out there that you gotta be stoned!! to even think about doing. Like, I don’t know how anyone could work in a sewer without a little puff beforehand. And let’s be real, customer service? Dealing with all those people? Definitely a job for the high-minded.

Idk about you but I do all my life stoned and I guess that only deppends on your resistance level, I wake and bake and over the day like 8 joints and I do everything from electronics to woodwork and it is all right.
If you don’t have resistance and easily get red eyes, and hard mental or body high may be a issue but with time these symptoms go away and you will need to decide to go to stonger stuff like dabs or just keep your routine and that’s where I am at.

that’s the one thing that keeps me working for myself. i recall one time working at morgan stanley after hours running cable and i told them i had to leave by 10 to get my son to bed since he was home alone about 4 miles from the job and 12. they said you can’t leave - we need to get ops to call you. i told them “you can’t make me stay”, packed up my shit and left. came back in the morning and finished the job.

This drives me nuts, customers that think they come before your kids/family. I had one blowing my phone up during my sons 4th Bday party, that he knew about. We had a nice conversation on Monday morning. I think part of the issue of why people have those types of expectations is because their job becomes their identity. I told a kid working under me the job is a means to an end, not who you are. It actually blew his mind.

This is becoming more and more prevalent. And stress at unfulfilled expectations has become an unhealthy coping mechanism.

It really is and it’s crazy to me. You are not your job, and if that’s how you feel, well I feel sorry for you. Even if you love your job, and there’s nothing wrong with that, it shouldn’t become your identity. Corporate America is fucking gross, I love telling them no to outlandish expectations.

We are trained to be this way from an early age. Imperfect attendance? That’s going on your permanent record.
I’ve never had a job where I worked for others and enjoyed it. None of those became any part of my identity.
I’ve had two jobs where I worked for myself, one awesome chill and pleasant and the other high energy high stress high financial leverage.
When I was done with them I put them on the shelf and moved on. At the time, great, but I wouldn’t do it again. The high stress one nearly destroyed my life.

Yea some of the expectations are actually crazy. I was working with a customer while he was in a hospital bed. I tried to get him to just call me back once he was healthy and we’d get it knocked out. Sadly he died a few weeks later, he had cancer. Instead of being with his family he was so focused on work, was very very sad to watch. And it wasn’t like it was a family business or anything,

Yes that’s horrible. Priorities. I would quit everything I’m doing (except maybe growing) to care for aging and infirm loved ones. This is not a boast, because it’s coming.

When I was installing web printing presses, I had zero interest in smoking at work. I’d smoke in my hotel room, at the end of my day. But a few hits was all I needed.
Once the iron was set in place, and all the cat walks, installed all around the press, I may grab a hit or 2 with the maintenance folks of the plant the press was going in at.
The commercial printing houses were the best, at finding weed hounds.
Newspaper installations, lot more tight assed folks, in that arena!
Even then, I only enjoyed my buzz after work for the most part.

Have you ever used one of those floor sanders that have four small sanding discs rather than the more traditional one large one? I remember reading years ago, when they were a new thing, that using them is easier than the single pad sanders, which is to say it’s easier to NOT to fuck the floor up.

Are you talking about the Orbital sanders? We don’t usually use those, but I have before on some pine floors. I mostly use a Lagler Hummel 8" belt sander for the main floor area. This one… It a more powerful version of the one you see at Home Depot to rent. I connect directly to a breaker panel with this one. It really is easy to mess up a wood floor if you don’t know what you’re doing. It’s rewarding though.

For a couple decades I provided security and moving crews for antique shows. Overnight security shift found us getting stonerd and rolling around the venues in a golf cart or on a bike. These days I am in contact with folks all day so I don’t smoke anything until I get home from work. I need all my witts for my job and my company and customers deserve a sober and clear-headed worker.
