I work at a RV production facility. Our plant produces luxury fifth-wheels, the type of RVs that are towed using a special hitch that goes into the bed of a large pickup truck. My specific job is trim, and I run a miter saw. My day is spent rolling through several schedules of trim that go to various areas around the plant: flat-cut black pieces for trimming out the windows; little wood pieces for the square lights that go in slideouts; and all assortment of different colors of deco, crown, quarter round, door casing, etc for the guys in my own station.
It's a job that is complicated and simple at the same time. I've gotten to be very good at this job and can pretty much cut everything I need to while I'm sleeping, and I don't typically need to consult measurements in my book for much anymore. At the same time, sometimes you get a weird cabinet with bad proportions and you have to make very special trim pieces to make it look great again. I spend most of my shifts listening to audiobooks and crime documentaries on YouTube.
I typically work from 5 AM โ 11:30-12:00, so I seldom work more than 35 hours, and I have a lot of free time in the afternoons. I'm grateful for my job. Depending on the time of year, I spend my days studying botany, browsing Lemmy, doing activities with my kid, working on my car, etc.
