Pros:
I have a specialized job which appears difficult and impressive.
I don't have to deal with customers or co-workers.
I get to surf the Web and drink coffee and watch cable TV.
I get to wear jeans and polo shirts and not a business suit.
I sort of set my own hours.
I know the job like the back of my hand.
I'm paid okay. Not enough to buy a Ferrari, but enough to subsist and go on cruises.
My job is fairly secure compared to most peoples'.
Cons:
I work in a dark, windowless, noisy room.
I'm basically a blue-collar monkey operating a machine.
I have to work goofy hours and days.
I have to come in at a moment's notice for problems.
I get no holidays (didn't even know that was legal until I got this job, but it is).
I'm unappreciated.
It's a dead-end job with no upward mobility.
It's physically taxing and isn't something I can do forever.
