        Well, my current job involves sitting in the DCF (welfare) office, helping people cope with the DCF's terrible, terrible application software, which appears to have been programmed by a community college dropout playing air guitar on his keyboard. Mostly I apologize a lot for the programmer's incompetence and explain ways to work around the program's more idiosyncratic features. The latter can be quite convoluted and were worked out by trial and error, as I received no training. I've got one week left on my two weeks' notice.

        Coal miner would loathe me for enabling filthy, filthy welfare mooches. Layabout might approve, but I know that's only a codeword for Sava and in his current mood he'd act pissy if I cured cancer. So eh.

            i suspect the coal miner would look down on what i do as it doesn't produce anything you can touch, although occasionally it is put into physical form.

            the layabout may think something or other but lack the ability to express it, and even if he could it would just come out as an entitled whine.

              because you'd do some evil bull**** like deny the cure to transgendered people

              or at the very least, require that they be summarily mocked and ridiculed

              and if not them, whatever class or group of people you thought was socially acceptable to attack

                    While I am a sysadmin, as a matter of practice only 10% of my job is technical and only a small fraction of that involves taking things apart and putting them back together. The remainder of my job is negotiating with salesmen, writing memos, calculating costs, and documentation. However, my company's main line of business is actuarial consulting for Taft-Hartley (i.e. union-run) pension plans, which I suspect the coal miner would greatly appreciate. 5/10.

                    Layabout: I think we all know the answer to this one. 0/10.

                      probably less so because you are stupid and have ****ty morals

                      the miners might want their pension to be there when they need it

                      and not robbed blind
