This has been one of the cooler Friday OTs, interesting to see what people do.

I think there should be another Friday OT at some point about "Worst Job You've Ever Had".
Agree. I'd also like to see one about "Side hustles". Things people are doing to bring in a little extra cash. Could even include hobbies/crafts/skills people do on the side that maybe don't do much more than break even, etc..

Recovering from the nuclear power industry - spent a few years doing core reload and accident analysis work at the plant that used to be just north of Omaha (Fort Calhoun - and that "used to be" has a lot to do with why I'm not there anymore). Bounced around contracting for other plants for a few years after that (mostly Wolf Creek in Kansas).

Now I work for one of the national labs, serving the national interest (insert as much sarcasm here as you find appropriate :p)

If you or Gonzo wouldn’t mind messaging me these ideas and the worst jobs one so I can keep track of it, I can queue it up!

I’m an attorney, after a three-year stint as a high school teacher.

I do a mix of estate planning, municipal, and business law.

I make drugs. Pretty much always have.

More specifically I work on the development of large scale processes to synthesize new active ingredients and put them into dosage forms (tablets, capsules, vials, suppositories, etc.)
