The "Up-Goer Five" challenge...

[seawasp]

Since it's going around as a meme, I'll play. The meme is named after this xkcd strip, in which the Saturn 5 rocket is described using only the thousand most commonly used words in the English Language.

Describe your job using only the ten hundred most common words:
In my day job, I write stuff to get people to give us money to make things that aren't, yet, but that could be, maybe. In my second job, I write stuff about things that aren't because it's fun, and people pay me so they can have the fun of reading what I wrote.


Want to try it? This text editor will automatically let you know if you've used a word outside the ten hundred allowed.

In my job, I run a thing that makes very hot water stuff that goes to where people need very hot stuff to make hot water to be warm and clean. I run another thing that makes very cold water that goes to where people want to be cool. I make them run right. I make them run safe. The state gives me money for doing that.

I work nights. Sometimes I work days. The people I make warm or cool are usually bad people in small rooms, but also the people who keep them there. Those people have guns, sometimes. So did the bad people, sometimes, but not here.
