There Are Still Jobs (Gross Service Jobs Riff)
from #303 - Meeting In The Woods | The Tim Dillon Show · #303
3 min
Tim reassures listeners that despite the terrible economy, there are still jobs available, riffing on disgusting tasks like cleaning frozen yogurt machines and espresso machines, then transitions into browsing real job listings in Austin, Texas.
- Tim asks what's going on with the economy and claims people still have jobs despite conditions being bad.
- Jobs available include shoveling excrement, cleaning hair from frozen yogurt machines, sweeping vomit, and removing fingernails from crepe makers.
- Tim catalogs more service work: if there's hemoglobin on waffles, throw it out and make a new one; if pus is in the espresso machine, clean it and make the Americano.
- Wage growth has only increased at the very top—for podcasters, human traffickers, and people in tech—while most people's wages haven't kept pace with housing prices.
- Tim directs people to Help Wanted listings in Austin, Texas, since New York is over.
- A delivery specialist job at Fetch requires picking up and delivering packages to apartment communities during chosen time blocks.
- The appeal of the Fetch job is choosing when to work and when to lay on the couch and wish for death—the freedom to work during one window or pray you don't wake up during another.
