That sounds like it sucks pretty hard, @PatHealy.

Hahaha It’s really not that bad. Work from home and now all mediations and depos are virtual, so no trips to Miami. Honestly not much work at all and the pay is decent enough. I personally only talk to attorneys and pretty much just house counsel. Dealing with clients is a nightmare. Legally I can’t discuss anything with them, even when they call, so that saves me a bunch of hassle. The absolute worst is handling auto claims and dealing with the clients. Eat a gun over that.

Retired from work-a-day soul sucking jobs years back. Now I support myself with investing in the stock market, mainly high paying monthly dividends, from BCD’s and REIT’s. So far so good.

Stay at home dad.

My wife does the working, she’s a management position career woman.

Before the kids, and for most of the first one’s early youth, I was a welder/mechanic/machine operator.

I’ve done a variety of work, ranging from carnival shooting range employee to volunteering at the local elders’ home, from driving a crane lift for logistics of a large furniture and home appliance business to sorting mailpackets, from welding and construction of greenhouses to operator in a few big plastic companies, from working kitchen at a restaurant to working in the food production industry. A bit of work in organic produce production too, and I also worked in the windows and doors industry, though IDK how you call that sector in english.

And then I’ve also worked as a group attendant in a school that mostly had children from difficult backgrounds.

Also worked at a well-known beer center that carries over 1500 different beers.

My wife’s dad came over to help with some projects. Handed him the circ saw, turn around and not five minutes later… First thing he did was tie the guard open

day job… My last job for a paycheck… took a lead hand contract for a little over a year. Custom stainless steel fabrication. I co-designed, engineered and fabricated a 1/2 million dollar , stainless steel industrial machine that washes multi sized buckets for a global company in Canada called United Flower Growers. Was a really cool job but was it for me. I was already on disability since 97 but a guy gets bored and I thought I would try getting back into my trade at a more senior level. I am a Red Seal ticketted steel fabricator and also have a degree in structural engineering.

These days I am a full time Cannabis farmer and breeder as there is not much else I am good at that I can physically do otherwise.
I am a bit of a chef and baker as well. Got my baker’s ticket in my early 20’s after starting out with Canada Safeway at 15years old. I want to go to chef school but my broken body can’t even do that… so … Cannabis farming it is :wink:

That’s funny. I don’t think I ever saw anyone wedge/tie open the blade guard on a sidewinder. Plenty of worm and hypoid drive saws, but not sidewinders. I’ve seen lots of nail guns with the guards propped open.

I worked with a guy who had shot himself in the foot and still propped open the guard. I quit working with him shortly after I learned about the first incident. Education of any kind is only good when it takes.

In all fairness, the guard on it is shit and it gets stuck halfway through a cut often, but he didn’t know that at the time :joy:

I have owned a skill saw for a long time, I pin the guard quite a bit, in fact almost always, I get why they are there, but honestly if a guard saves you from being cut… you probably should have never been using the tool in the first place.
