"See that lab Tech over there? All he ever does is just clean the same tools all day"

"Jo, can you hack this instagram account for me? Shouldn't be that hard, everything needs to be the same in your world"

People pay me money, and then I worry about the same things that they worry about, only more eloquently.

"Dude just talking to people, everyone can do that".

I am a programmer, which means that either I sit around doing nothing all day because chatgpt is doing my job, or I am the guy fixing printers around here.

I move little icons around, press little square buttons and the higher-ups are happy

"So, you just spend all day reading books, right?"

Bean counter.

Unemployed

Future unemployed person :)

To be clear, this is not to insult on anyone's job. It is a just way to observe if the workers are aware of their occupation's stereotypes or not.

We put crap in kids heads that they'll never use later in life.

I prep the stuff, put it in a machine, and pray everything looks okay when it comes out. I also prep other stuff, load it onto a different machine, and hope everything comes out looking okay. And then there’s a whole different set of stuff that I prep a lot of, check to make sure it looks okay, then send to a different team who will prep it in a completely different way.

I make executives look good via fancy PPT and PBIs (business consultant).

The man who knows the arcane knowledge of fixing printers and finding lost emails

We pick things up and put them down.

I used to tell people to turn it off and back on again. Now I tell other people how to tell people to turn it off and back on again.
