Also every person I worked with typically made a serious mistake within 3 months. Initially they start and are being trained and closely monitored. Then eventually they are determined to be good enough they don't need more training. They want to do a good job, impress their boss and Co-workers so the pay close attention to everything they do. They have daily to-do lists everyday to ensure they don't miss anything. They double and triple check everything. Then around the 2 month mark they start to believe they know what they are doing, they got this, it's easy, all that stuff was a waste and they could do this while talking with a friend about their weekend plans. Then they make a stupid mistake, click a wrong button, forget to do a step, put something upside down etc. As a result they mess something important up, company losses money, co-workers are mad because they have to do extra work to make up for the mistake, boss is mad. Hopefully that's all that happens, in certain roles or certain industries it could cause death or massive loss of money or legal consequences. A good employee then starts recalibrating how much attention they need to pay and develop new habits to prevent repeating the mistake. Somewhere around the fifth month they get the right idea and are benefiting the team. Then you quit at 6 months and all that time and money spent on you is now wasted.

I don't know about you specifically but for anything complex or technical it takes atleast about 2 months to be similar to a long term employee. Between learning the computer systems, getting any permissions they need, learning the general work flow, learning what is not normal, what to do when something goes wrong, who to contact if you have issues or need something outside your role for example at my last job part of my job was looking at a process and determining how to improve it, let's say I thought a different fixture would increase throughput. First I had to contact the cad team to transform my thought into an official drawing. Next to see if I was right, I had to contact the 3d printing team to get the new fixture printed. Next contact the production scheduling team to get a test run done, while also working with production supervisor to ensure they were aware, then run the test and analyze the data assuming data looked good, now contact the machine shop to get it made out of metal or traditional milled plastic, now back to original scheduler to schedule final test. That's all assuming no software changes or quality concerns or bio material contact concerns or regulatory submissions or purchasing components from a vendor. Learning who all those people and when you do and don't need to contact them takes time. Previously I also repaired industrial equipment, where are the extra parts? What is the common issues and how to fix them? What can you just quickly do and what becomes a big issue? What is caused by user and what is caused by machine fatigue/issue? Where are the keys for things that are locked up? Who are the vendors if I need to order spare parts? These are only a few examples and are different for every company and every position. You can't learn it from college and the knowledge is useless when you leave that company. Generally if you only stay for 6 months you are a burden to your boss/trainer etc for about 1/3 of your time there. This is why I always hated interns, they may be smart but by the time they get the company specific information they had like 2-3 weeks left. Management would be like "I'll give you an intern to speed this project up" but no, most likely it will only slow it down. I typically took the intern though because it's important to train the next generation but it almost always resulted in additional work for me.
As long as you don't work with cows it shouldn't matter, Now if it a job on a dairy farm...

The lower you go the harder it is to be able to identify security risks
Let's just say they were not impressed with the plans of the engaged woman...
Fun fact is the turbo button wasn't actually turbo anything. It pressed in was the default and designed speed. When it was depressed it set it to run at a lower clock speed. This was meant for older games where aspects of the game like movement and attack speed were tied to the clock rate. With a high speed cpu the game was unplayable so you take off turbo mode and it mostly fixed the issues.
I guess that makes sense but its different from other reply
Yeah, I'll use them to prop up this table... Oh some of them can be used to make shadow puppets... Maybe some can be used to ensure proper efficiency of the garbage trucks...
Oh, it was a general contractor marrying the plumber. That makes sense. I read it as 3 separate people.
I worked with this Indian guy and a Indian woman. Both great great people and excellent at their jobs. We had a work outing(normally work ended around 5, we went to a restaurant with free food and 2 drink tickets starting at 3 and lasting till 6) and somehow we got talking about weddings, I think another women just got engaged. OH MY GOD, the weddings they talked about were insane. The guy didn't walk up the aisle, no he wasn't waiting up there for the bride, they literally rode live elephants down the aisle. Both of them said their weddings went for 3-4 days, plus honeymoon. Multiple performances by professionals including sword juggling, fire breathers, several live bands, etc. I don't even know what else. Yeah they were engineers and made good salaries and their spouses were also professionals with good salaries but not like actors or ceos or anything. I have no idea how they managed to afford it but they said it was "expected" in their culture.
Ok... I can understand that but... What does the plumber have to do with it? Was he "laying pipe"?
It's probably too expensive for a joke but you should make a circuit board in the shape of a chicken, one side a bunch of leds on the other a control circuit to randomly light them so the chicken circuit hoard looks like it's sparkling.
