      Don’t mind getting dirty or physical exertion much, but yeah, the heat is pretty awful. I walk about three miles a night carrying metal car parts while wearing PPE, in the summer it gets pretty brutal.

          Drinking between half to one gallon of water every night helps a lot, and I regularly replace my shoe inserts to stay comfy. I dunno, I really do like it (as long as I don’t have to deal with bullshit (I always do))

      There’s better and worse production jobs. I like small scale production of high value machines, far more laid back than mass production lines. I basically sit around all day putting stuff together and it’s the most enjoyable work I’ve found so far. The place I work now makes optics based products for climate research and it’s super laid back.
