I worked in a maintenance shop for 6-7 years.

Operating equipment, fixing things, hauling items from various sites, welding. Sometimes problem solving, sometimes being "paid from the neck down".

Full of young and old derelicts, wildly inappropriate conversations, and shouting matches. I'd never been so mad or laughed so hard. It was both a blast and a formative part of my life. It really taught me what being part of a team was all about.
