Got the day off, and my wife is literally going into labor! We’re having having a baby!!!

Congrats!

Had some PTO to kill so I am enjoying a 5 day weekend.

Currently I am saving the world one light bulb at a time!!! :D That's what I said when I started, I work in energy efficiency. Started in a lighting program, then transitioned to building science, weatherization, and HVAC. Right now I am saving parts of Ohio one heat pump at a time!!
 
Taking a day off. Build counters, showers, out of Corian solid surface and Quartz! I also dabble in Acrylic aquariums (was my only business for over 25 years) and right now Covid-19 barriers for retail stores.
 
Taking two weeks off from steering wind tower trailers

I was a geology professor for 15 years (the pic below is me and paleontologist Bob Bakker at a Geological Society of America meeting...if you enjoyed Jurassic Park you own this guy a beer...)

Then I joined the " Dark Side" of higher education and became a Dean about 4 years ago at my college...but still have my office filled with rocks!

man I’m jealous you got to meet Mr. Barker. I’ve been fascinated by prehistory and paleontology since I was a little lad lol
 
I have the day off, I am an Electronics Tech and work at an FAA Avionics repair facility. Work is starting to pick back up after being REALLY slow. My daughter had a date so i am stuck with doing a water change on her E-170
 
I work for a large brokerage firm in St. Louis and we get the day off. I’m double lucky today because my mom is watching the fruits of my labor ;Hilarious (My 2 kids). I went grocery shopping and now I get to clean without any interruptions! My boyfriend is getting the grill prepped for smoking ribs and I’ll make the sides later. Hope everyone has a great holiday!
 
@BeltedCoyote he's a super chill guy. this was the first time I met him. After that, we chatted several other times over the years at various meetings and conferences. He (deservingly so) loves the limelight and some of his posters on his work or his student's work is down-right amazing!
 
Happy Labor Day!

I’m off today!!! Just added my first fish last week so I’m starring at them all day!!! Usually I’m working in Orthodontics. Smile!!!

It's Labor Day here is the USA and a lot of people have the day off so today I'm going to kick back and relax with an easy one today!

Since it is Labor Day, what do you do to earn a living. What is your career, your job, your "labor?"

I'm off today. I fix cars and trucks for the past 30 years. Looking for something easier on the body.. BBQ some burgers and sausage Gave the wife a day off from cooking.
 
Worked for forty years at a research and development engineering lab for aerospace control systems. Recently got unceremoniously dumped due to Covid. So I'll just "retire" a few years early.
Just got back from spending the weekend out in the Palm Springs area where it was an enjoyably cool 122*f! :cool:
 
Happy Labor Day!
