Alienation of labour, what's that?

Trades are always hiring. My phone says I walk like 5 miles a day just working in our factory. I use my brain, body, problem-solving skills, and have real conversations with my coworkers daily about how to go about the work and solve problems, or just pass the time when we're not as busy. I learn new things constantly and enjoy working with my hands and making my work look beautiful, which can be surprisingly deep in the field of industrial electrical work.

Just know that if anyone's interested in this kinda thing, make sure you have some thick skin and maybe leave a terminally online brain at home

making my work look beautiful

The plumber who did work in my kitchen made a fantastic job of the under-sink pipework. Everything curved and lined up just so, little screw valves instead of clunky taps, it's lovely. It's hidden away behind cleaning products, but I know it's there and it makes me smile. Thank you to tradespeople who enjoy their work!
