Dream Job...
I need to go to Utah.
Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....
Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

Not sure what’s more impressive. How many employees at BAT
Or how much they can pay for a remote work engineer

$100 to list, then 5% fee adds up fast. Google says in 2021 they had 20,000+ auctions with $828 million worth of cars and have only gotten more popular. (edit-$1.35 billion in 2022)

Wow. $40+MM gross revenue is nice.
Didn’t realize it was that big.
I do enjoy the daily emails. If I had big money there’s so many cars I could buy there. Not just the usual collectors. Oddball shit as well.

My old employer almost bought BAT (bought Cars and Bids instead). Both are very profitable businesses. Originally Posted by Core Shot

I had it. Surgery is the perfect job for a sadist who likes to work with their hands. Pay is not bad. And at Kaiser I had a lot of time off to ski. But being retired is almost as good. And the pay still isn't bad--Permanente has a great retirement plan. They figured out that it was cheaper to pay the old docs to retire because the young ones do twice the work for half the money.

Hence the hate for Boomers.
I knew a guy who lived in Florida and sold calenders over the phone. He only worked in March then took the rest of the year offSeeker of Truth. Dispenser of Wisdom. Protector of the Weak. Avenger of Evil.

General Manager of an NHL team.
Or, backup goalie for an NHL team. Make a couple mil, best seat in the house (usually), locker-room access, ice time at practices, access to NHL quality nutrition, muck it up with fans occasionally, and when you play you're not really expected to be all that good.

Nah, most backups play a fair bit during the season--going from upright to butterfly and back again a few hundred times in a game wears a goalie out. You have to at least be competent. A better job would be emergency goalie. Pay's not great but you do get great seats for free. And no one expects you to stop anything.

Yeah, that’s too much like real work. I think what you’re looking for is the emergency backup goalie… All the glory for none of the pay.
yep

That last one, the Canes Leafs, is one of my favorite games the last few years, think it was the saturday night game. Guy drives the zamboni at a local rink, he's a transplant survivor and gets an NHL win as the ebug! Pretty sure Brindamour showered him with beer when he walked in the locker room after interviews. I bought a canes sweater with his name on it; team donated proceeds to a transplant charity.
