The worst part of my day, the worst part almost every single day, is when I have to unwrap myself from the arms of those who love me the most before getting in a vehicle and driving away from them at the maximum legal speed. All the nonsense at work I can mostly handle. I even have a job where I can be creative, I've got a job so cool that if I mentioned my job title, nobody would believe me.

But I really just want to be home with my wife.

    Sorry, can't have that until you're 65-70. Then you'll just be sitting in hospitals with each other and figuring out how you'll pay for end-of-life care.

    Is it "CAD monkey," perchance?

    I don't... think so?

    Im sort of an emergency draftsman. Someone sends in some piece of machinery that is broken/worn out. Said machine is taken apart. Any parts that need to be replaced are dropped on my desk (if they are small enough) and im asked to figure out what this scrap metal used to look like, so I can make a 3D model and drawing of it. That drawing is given to someone who actually knows what they are doing, and they will replicate the part.

    This leaves me with random downtime, I have used that time the last year or so to study and get my drone license.

    And that's the cool part. I'm a drone pilot. Ten year old me is looking on with approval.
