I run four companys’ marketing departments, it’s different every day and mildly interesting but it’s not like I’d rather be doing it than frolicking in the springtime sunlight

Have you considered joining the Ukrainian reserves?

On a serious note, I hate dis. I need complete certainty about my day and I hate surprises. My days all thankfully blend into each other and provided no outside interference happens, I know how my day will progress.

I’m ordering noodles for lunch and I’m going to watch squid games season 2; tomorrow I’m going to have Korean for lunch and will continue squid games season 2. Both nights I will eat chips and watch birdgirl. On Thursday I will have chicken and mushroom pie and watch squid games. What I choose to have for dinner will be what little chaos I allow in my life. I will also watch birdgirl.

Does this apply if I don’t even know what day it is?

Consulting. I’ve done a little bit of it before as an occupational hygiene consultant. In a 2 week period I’d done air quality tests at a sulphuric acid processing plant, noise dosimetry at a bread factory, management system audit at Shell petroleum, and reviewed findings of air quality tests at a building where half the workers were “getting sick all the time”.

But it’s not consistent work, and if you go into business for yourself; 1- good luck finding the work, and 2- have fun spending months chasing up invoices.

This quote is full of shit though.

Any job is like this if your time management is bad enough

I feel like you’d like this guy’s routine! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c1wkx1V1qHY

I think the most alive you could be would then be some manner of homeless drug addict. You have no power over your life, so no notion of what any day will look like.

This quote kinda rubs me the wrong way because it treats predictability the same as banality.
If you want a job where you never know what the day is going to look like, work for a poorly managed company. You never know what you’re going to be doing, sometimes the project you’re working on one day is cancelled without warning and now people are mad at you for not having been working on the new priority for the past month. Sometimes you go in and you work 36 hours straight without warning because someone else messed up and your boss doesn’t give a shit who’s responsible and you’re the one who knows how to fix it, so fix it or fuck off. Better hope you don’t have a family or you’re going to have to make choices.

Knowing what you’re going to do tomorrow is just having work of any consequence. Food service knows what they’re doing tomorrow. So does a CEO, a software developer at a competent business, or a project manager. I can think of very few jobs whose scope of work is limited to a day, and is so variable that you just don’t know what you’ll be doing. Temp? Personal assistant to an eccentric actor? (Not the manager type assistant, they need to know the schedule. The one that buys coffee, six turtles and a pair of roller skates and doesn’t actually exist).

I could just be dead inside because I know that tomorrow is going to go a particular way that I like.

Is this a quote? By whom? The picture of this dude means nothing to me 🤣 Maybe I’m uncultured. I cop to that possibility.

Emergency medicine. I’ve heard various medical fields/disciplines described that way

Open a building in any capacity.

If you’re working at almost any new place, things will go wrong daily and be different.

Could specialize in the ironing out phase?

Company founder/early executive. It’s a new thing every day and to top it off every year or so, if things are going well, your whole job gets reinvented!

I wish I really was but only my soul for now.

Every solution in capitalism is the same, begin with lots of money.
