For most of us in the workforce1, waking up early Monday morning is arguably the most painful activity of the week. But not everybody has a case of the Mondays, like we do. In fact, there are real-life people who exist out there who actually look forward to going into work on Monday mornings. So what kind of jobs do these people have? And what on earth makes them so excited to get to work in the morning?
作为劳动力,我们大部分人在周一早上醒来,无可厚非是一周最痛苦的事情。但是并不是每个人在周一的情况都和我们一样。实际上没在现实生活中,确实有些人没有这种烦恼,而是期待周一去上班。那么这些人的工作是什么类型的呢?到底又是什么原因让他们在周一工作如此兴奋?
Customer Support - Office Cats
客户服务——办公室猫
Reddit user dronkensteen shares that they work in customer support, but that the local office cat really likes their desk. If you're thinking of adding some felines2 to your office, take note from user kyonu who says that one to three office cats is about the maximum amount you should have. "When you get litter after litter, they become slightly unmanageable. I'm the 'crazy cat lady' (I'm a dude) at my work because of the amount of cats here. I refuse to have them removed."
Reddit的用户dronkensteen分享说,他们在客服岗位工作,但是当地的办公室猫非常喜欢他们的办公桌。如果你想在你的办公室养一些猫科动物,注意记下用户Kyonu所说的话:在你的办公室中最多养1~3只猫。“当你的猫产下了一窝又一窝的小猫之后,这些猫就有点难管理了。我在工作中是一名‘疯狂的猫女士’(我是一个小伙子),因为我办公室的猫的数量太多了。我不同意将这些猫送走。”
机坪操作员——挥舞着指挥棒
If you've flown in an aircraft at any time in your life, you've probably seen people wearing vests and earmuffs walking around the plane below by your baggage. These are ramp agents, and apparently4 they really enjoy what they do. This Redditor says, "Every single day is fun! I work early mornings until noonish, and all I do is wave my wands around to park planes, load and unload baggage, and wave my wands around again to send the plane out. I get to hang with great people with excellent work ethic5."
如果你在生活中可以在任何时候乘坐过飞机,那么或许你会看到有人穿着背心,戴着护耳,在飞机下面围着你的行李巡视。这些人就是机坪操作员,而且很显然,他们很喜欢自己的工作。这名Redditor用户称,每天都很有趣。我从清晨一直工作到中午,我做的事情就是挥舞着指挥棒来控制飞机降落停靠,装行李,卸下行李,然后再次挥舞着指挥棒通知飞机起飞。我习惯与有优秀职业道德的人共事。
焊接工——创造性的自由
With no boss and no co-workers to worry about, it's easy to see why user Jud_Turner doesn't dread7 Mondays. Bonus points for pet pigs. "As a welder, I get to weld whatever I can make up in my head. I love my job – no boss, no co-workers, and I get to bring my pet pig with me."
没有老板,也没有必要担心同事,那就很容易明白用户Jud_Turner不畏惧周一的原因了。宠物猪有加分奖励。“作为一名焊接工,我可以焊接出我脑海中所想到的任何事物。我喜欢我的工作——没有老板,没有同事,我还能带着我的宠物猪一起工作。”
人事部经理——帮助人们脱离餐饮服务行业
When you work in marketing9 like user untoaster and you aren't the CEO, you don't usually get the privilege of hiring and training people for new jobs. Unless your CEO is sleepy all the time. "Our CEO normally handles hiring, but he likes to sleep in, so I've taken over hiring for the company. Which means I get to hire people, train them, and help them escape the retail/food service wage slavery. It's pretty awesome10."
如果你和用户untoaster一样也是从事销售工作的话,而且你也不是CEO,通常你是没有招聘或者培训新人的权利的。除非你的CEO总是睡意蒙蒙的。“我们的CEO总是亲自负责招聘,但是他很喜欢睡觉,所以我就会负责公司的招聘工作。这意味着我可以招聘员工,培训员工,帮助他们脱离零售/餐饮服务行业的薪资奴役。这非常美妙!”
韩国流行音乐舞蹈着——选新服装
For those who don't know, KPop is the short version of Korean pop, which is a musical genre12 from South Korea that is marked by audiovisual elements. People often hire KPop dancers to perform at events and parties all over the world. But KPop is more than dancing, as hewearsdresses tells us.
有些人可能不知道,KPop是韩国流行音乐的缩写,是一种韩国的音乐体裁,以视听元素而得名。人们常常雇佣一些韩国流行音乐舞蹈演员在世界的一些活动或者聚会上进行表演。用户hewearsdresses告诉我们,但是韩国流行音乐并不仅仅指舞蹈。
