That is kinda cool but sad also. I knew someone like that as well. Worked for a company were the best quality control person for boards was a functioning alcoholic. And I mean like her hands started shaking around 9 o’clock. She would drink all day long from tiny schnaps bottles hiding in her office or from her flask.
These boards were mostly for prototypes or small series, so always something new to look out for. Tiny parts mounted by hand. She would catch any error or faulty joint. But couldn’t talk straight. I never understood how that’s possible. I guess these people are better focused when drunk/high. Or just ultra pros at their jobs…
I know someone like that. He’s always drinking. And always drunk. He says he’d rather kill himself than drink less. Has a fancy government that drug tests him every 5 minutes just about. He makes a lot of money though. No idea how this is even sustainable. Guess they don’t give a shit as long as you don’t smoke weed.
Got drunk for the first time a week ago, I struggled to speak but I definitely felt hyper focused on what I was doing. In contrast I’m usually focused on what’s going on around me and have good spacial awareness. I can totally see myself doing quality control and not missing a beat.
