My dad doesn't even know what I do for a living ๐Ÿ™ƒ thank you for being part of this community. Ive rarely participated (if ever) but it's comforting to know it's here.

Happy to! Btw what do you do for a living? Or just for fun?

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I install/ repair industrial weighing/ packaging equipment. If you purchase food products packaged in the US, there's a decent chance the company I work for has at least serviced the equipment it was packaged on

[-] nimble 4 points 3 weeks ago

That is impressive being able to install and repair stuff like that! Ive always struggled with repairing things but I've been challenging myself when things break

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks! It's challenging but fun. I think a lot of people get overwhelmed and assume things are too hard when it just takes a bit of looking in to.

Thanks daddy I love you too! I did a couple of quizzes last week I made a few hundred quid for charity. Everyone really enjoyed the quizzes as well, and doing them was all my idea. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Wow! I couldn't be prouder of you coming up with that and taking the initiative to see it through for a good cause ๐Ÿ’œ
