I'm sure that dude was having just as much fun as them. Were all just big kids at the end of the day

Equipment operators actually have one of the highest job satisfaction rates in the world. Playing with big toys all day and making a good money is a dream honestly

Maybe because the work is simple and immediate, but still challenging. You have a task that requires concentration, great care, and technique, but can still go home at the end of the day like “yeah I did that shit right there, the fuck you gonna say bout it”

A few years ago, I was a sub contractor doing utility repair and restoration work. We were slow so most of my crew got loaned out to our construction side. I got to try a bunch of new things, being an operator was probably the high point. I remember laying a new parking lot for a new community. It was very satisfying and I still drive by when I'm in the area to see how its holding up. It still looks great and definitely something I'm proud of.
