Let’s Talk About Work (But in a Fun Way!) on This Week’s Open Thread

As we do every Friday, we're turning Racket over to you, the reader.

Promotional still

As Rihanna once said, "Work, work, work, work, work, work."

Since you give us money, I assume that many Racket commenters have jobs. Today I'm curious what you folks do for a living. What job do you have, what jobs have you had, or what jobs do you wish you had? What your favorite part about a job you hate or your least favorite part about a job you love?

And now we get to the point where I end the Open Thread prompt by inviting you to talk about whatever you want. And this week I'm really gonna emphasize how much I mean that.

The prompts here are ONLY suggestions. The idea really is for the collective "you" to take the reins a guide this thread wheresoever it may go. The prompt is only a nudge.
