Network Administration.
If the network and servers all work: What are we paying you for?
If the network or one of the servers are down: What are we paying you for?
Anyhing IT
Can confirm. The IT guys never deserve their money.
If theyre doing it right, why do we need them? Everything works.
If they do it even slightly wrong, why are we paying them? They clearly can’t do anything right.
Seasoning
Salt yes, but I’m convinced bay leaves do nothing
Bay leaves let that one person at dinner know, that you don’t like them
Plumbing
Taking a shower.
Walking.
Housework. Anyhing from putting away coats to doing the dishes, etc
Proofreading.
Yuo mean poofrearimg,
My work apparently. Other people got promoted for solving problems quickly. I didn’t have problems. At least, I did, but I solved them without help or advertising them enough probably.
You gotta justify your job by acting like it’s difficult
You tell them it’ll take a miracle to pull off so they see you as a miracle worker when you do it
Start looking pissed off all the time, swear a lot when you’re on the phone, call in a bomb threat when your boss and family are in your office waiting for you while you secretly sleep under your desk. The standard stuff.
User interfaces
And stairs
One more vore for UIs.
Nobody notices great UIs. (Except people who build them - tho if that would be true all uo would be copied and end up great)
Dusting. If you don’t dust thoroughly enough things will look alright but people will feel vaguely unwell. Indoor air quality in general is something I notice constantly post-2019
Bureaucracy.
