    If you read the posts carefully it’s pretty obvious: bespoke strap on dildos.

    I’m a prosthetist. So I make artificial limbs for amputees.

    I have a niche role in an already niche field, as I specialize mostly in upper-limb prosthetics.

    I was intrigued too and was totally going to guess that prosthetics was your gig. My dad was an amputee and his orthopedist went from newb to being dept director while he was a patient. Super interesting gig and kinda wish I had got into it as well. Nice work!

    Sounds like quite a porno shoot that you got hired for. Do they pay hazard pay for that kind of work?

    Generally speaking, Ottobock is a manufacturer of components, not a clinical provider. So yeah, I use a ton of ‘bock parts.

    Lately though, they’ve been acquiring patient care clinics and getting into providing clinical services. So they are one of our vendors, but now also a competitor.

    My neighbor did oolichan research, he alwasy said he was out standing, in his field, alone

    the oolichan or Eulichon is not a sexy fish like a wale or a trout or a Salmon

    so it was easy to be a niche expert of some repute

    “I love my job doing xyz” is a favorite genre of upper middle class entitlement brags.

    Have you considered hypnotherapy?

    really?
    eeyore showed up and we ate "tacos" don't know why I do it to myself (maybe I do) shes a 30 plus year local hasn't done much of anything her whole life since she got here at age 19 so she stuck around great body for early fifties never married no kids can't hold a job I think the last full time job she had was waitressing in the early 90s mostly doing rails between tilly's and shamus's and now her part time on call occasional working situation needed her saturday morning so it was a quick goodbye but there was alot of "when are we going to take a trip together?" shit

    Better than “I’m 50 and I hate my daily existence” which is far more common.

    It’s a reference to the movie you referenced, stud.

    There are a decent amount of "professionals" that i know who legit love their job (at least 90% of the time). Its pretty atypical to get past a certain level unless you really enjoy and are invested in your work.

    that said, im pretty lukewarm on my job. I like the people more than the work, and i like the money and schedule more than the people.

    For Tech Tonics: Excellent!!! I’m now ensconced at Children’s hospital so I have a similar lack of SNF “issues” these days… glad it’s going well for ya, I remember when you were just getting in the game!
