I often get the sense that I'm in the only one here doing manual labor but I'm sure there are others.

Identify yourselves.

I process meat. My hands are rarely dirty but sometimes there seepage through my overalls.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 9 months ago

Seepage is such a dirty word.

Ass in not the nice kind of dirty

[–] AnthropomorphicCat@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I debug the worst spaghetti code you have seen. Does that count as getting my hands dirty?

No...?

Ok, never mind...

Cleaning CD's, tapes, cameras, computers, cartridges, all the stuff you'd expect from a typical Blockbuster store.

Loading trailers, hands generally stay clean unless my gloves are almost worn out

Asbestos remediation. I work on roofs, basements, boiler rooms,fireplaces, lofts, house walls etc removing asbestos in every shape and form + other materials. Using crowbars, sledgehammers, i saw through steel and crush steel with the sledgehammer etc while wearing masks, I also enter oil tanks to clean them. I have done more shitty stuff with another branch of the firm that deals with more shitty stuff + old barn lofts etc on a regular basis too 😆 all of this work involves heavy lifting and carrying heavy stuff around, I have become really strong from it. If you want to get strong and get payed at the same time, I will recommend it. It's tough as hell, and only unique people work with it.

I fulfill various contracts put out for my industry. They pay very well but involve great risk and can be taxing on the soul. I just keep telling myself these were bad guys, and if I didn't get to them, someone else would've eventually. And I draw the line at women and children.

I trim trees and operate a wood chipper-shredder. Routinely carrying huge logs and branches hereabouts and there, greasing and fuelling machinery, and brandishing dirty chainsaws.

But I prefer to wear riggers gloves, so my hands actually stay pretty clean.

Used to clean toilets, vacuum, mop and buff floors, clean windows, build bicycles. Loved it all.
