Well said. I’m a software engineer, and I get frustrated with my job, and my butt gets sore after sitting for 10 hours straight most days, but not a single day goes by that I’m not immensely grateful I get to live in a time when I don’t need to work in the sun doing back breaking work on a farm like my parents did and their parents did. Both my parents and all 4 of my grandparents spent their whole lives toiling as general labourers picking crops, planting cane, repairing equipment.
I’ve been desk jobbing for the past 16 years and while I do enjoy it it would be nice to have a job where I can be at a desk or up and about moving my body and being outside the house more.
It’s kinda funny, I get that they were being sarcastic, but I read this message as sincere for me. I do like my stimulants and my desk job.
Used to be a plumber, and nothing will make you appreciate working in a climate controlled room with a computer quite like having to get out a jackhammer to dig pipe trenches because the ground has frozen solid in the middle of winter.
whoa I’ve been both of these before! Residential service plumbing and then automotive manufacturing! now I’ve got a desk job at the house!
fuck em all
though real talk, yes i thank the fucks i am out of the field, which was better than the factory job.
but now I’m getting fat and pulling muscles that hurt for weeks. and it’s harder to stay seated at this same desk for hobby tech shit after I’ve been here all day.
I get that it’s about work in general, but I hate these complaints about staring at a computer. I’m a factory worker dreaming about a desk job.

I was on a submarine for 8 years and I fucking love sitting at a desk that stays level.
That’s a long ride

Grass is always greener I guess.
