When I got burnt out I did a hard turn. I now manage a Turkey Farm and just do IT on the side. Most relaxing decision I've ever made
Users are definitely harder to train than turkeys
And it is more discouraged to kill and eat the users when they get out of line.
Users are so hard. Turkeys you just have to find any way they may kill themselves and fix it before they do
That's pretty cool actually. Wish I were in a position to do something similar but I need my next step to parlay with the base skill set I already have.
If your under 39 and in decent enough shape (and US based) the Space Force is looking for recruits and has plenty of IT jobs available. When I'm ready to get back in to the service that is my plan currently
LOLOLOLO! I am 46, suffer from bipolar disorder, PTSD, and autism. I cannot even qualify for a security clearance, much less go to Space Force. But that much said, I appreciate you reaching out to me. Thanks.
Hey just trying to offer options lol.
Almost no stress at all. I have like 1 or two deadlines a month (load out and baby bird arrival) we have 40k birds handled between me and a part time farmhand. Everyday is as easy as walking through barns and picking up dead followed by yard work and maintenance. And once a month I run a litter machine through one of 3 finishers to keep the barns clean. Other than that it's just monitoring bird health which after you get used to it is easy. Most important thing is to keep the birds healthy, comfortable and happy
keeping them healthy, comfortable and happy until their throats are slit 🥰
