Working at TTI must have just missed the list at #21.

Being a "shitty mod" also somehow missed making the grade.

Told me that if he had to sit behind a desk all day he would be dead within a week.

As I'm fighting to stay healthy in my late 40s, I wonder what those statistics would look like if they included "people who get diabetes or coronary artery disease because they sit on their ass all day at work."

When I move along from my current...occupation...this is what I want to get into. I’ve always been fascinated by the ocean, and sailing. Spending a couple days in the gulf of Maine on a sailboat, I’m hooked. Got my TWIC card recently, and at some point want to pursue getting my six-pack...

Working below grade is dangerous. Trench collapses because such a problem in the late '90s that the FD had to get a whole bunch of specific gear/tools to have any chance of making a rescue. They would use the city's vac trucks to get a lot of dirt off the trapped workers quickly. The state safety agency then mandated the use of certain equipment and procedures to protect workers.
