40 People Reveal “Dark Secrets” About Their Jobs That Common People Aren’t Supposed To Know

I really appreciate this, thanks

I'm one of the inspectors, and while roller coasters is unusual, a weld is a weld. I remember a roller coasters car rolling in once after it came in contact with another one. The lawsuit after a deadly incident would be huge so they do what they can

Still scared of rollercoasters though…

So, you mean "Final Destination" is not realistic ?

Well, safety is an issue that needs to be adressed, and of all things, welding often is the step in the process from raw to ready that bears the highest risk. A good welder, I mean a really, really good one, is someone you don't just find about anywhere, or can train regardless of total lack of talent, a good welder, who excels in precious situations and in difficult settings, who thrives the harder it gets ... should be paid as much as an engineer. I'm an engineer. Also, you literally build a device that allows physics to apply joy on stressed people like engineers, ... or kids ... or those who are both.

I see here that some of you think this works both ways. I promise you that your children will never know and share as much about their teachers as they know and share about you.

I'm in childcare. My favourite have been "My Mummy's 'mimi' has a beard", "Last night Mummy got excited and threw her wine at Daddy", and a that a Dad who broke his leg in a "football game" actually did it when "dancing in Mummy's boots".

It's mutual BTW

When my daughters where little their kindergarten teacher told all the parents at open house, “I won’t believe everything they say, nor remember. Children have no filter.” 😂

Trust me when I say I know all about teachers also. The way they talk to my kids, the way they teach, the way they will hide when asked for help after school. But I tell my kids teachers are hero’s because I could never do it. Would never do it.

There's a reason that tech support asks people questions like, "Is it plugged in?" "Is it on?"

I have to disagree on this one. If you're talking about just using the computer again, then yes: turning off and turning it back on again will often allow you to go on working in the short term. However, it may not fix a developing underlying issue. If you have a hardware issue, you may have a short time in which you have technical difficulties of increasing frequency and severity, and in some of those cases, off-on may temporarily allow work to continue, but will not fix the impending failure of the hardware.

True. I often do the same.

Incredible, computers are part of daily life (in work env. as well) for so long. How is it possible, that mamy people still don't know how to operate them on fundamental level?

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

Not true. Wife works in romance industry and has worked with hundreds of authors. Most write under a pseudonym. Many of her work friends have two names, author name and real name. A few of the biggest names who publish many novels back-to-back do use ghostwriters to keep up production. In those cases, the author lays out the idea and then collaborates with the ghostwriter.

Without disrespecting an entire industry nor wishing them to lose their work (ghostwriters) I can’t help but feel shortchanged/duped by discovering something I read was merely outlined by the so-called author. Or that the so-called author didn’t write a word of their biopic or biography, what happened was they spent time vocalizing reminiscences that someone else rationalized into a coherent narrative. I think what I’m saying is it’s ok (for me) if you don’t want to be personally identified as a ghostwriter but it doesn’t sit right that another person claims author status when they did no such thing.

So, why don't you publish them for yourself?

Serious question: Is it ghostwritten or does the author use a pseudonym?

You can always tell a man wrote it by the way the book describes women and sex.
