Tagging along from one of the previous posts about people’s jobs, what are your favorite things about your job. If you can’t think of anything, then what are your least favorite things about it or what do you think you’d like to do instead if you could?
My favorite thing is the appreciation we get from passerby. I’ve never had a job where people are genuinely appreciative of what we are doing, and it’s nice to get that feedback from people even though the work itself can be pretty difficult. If there wasn’t that for my job, it would certainly be less rewarding.
We do renovations and build new homes. I’m a superintendent/project manager/babysitter. I love making people’s homes exactly the way they want them to be. Making custom one off shit for a single family that no one else has is absolutely the best. I love the idea thatbim making a house into a home.
The worst part is the fucking clients. Bunch of rich ‘have to have it now’ spoiled brat, lama people.
I’ve been doing this for about 35 years and still have zero way to reconcile these two things.
