This story sounds like a whole COD mission 😂
It is detector, sensistive equipment, redacted
every government contract I've ever worked on has been this experience lmao
Oh so that was the nature of the project 💀 No wonder it doesn't sound real
@@arshamshayan He said it was for a DoD contract
Crazy? I was crazy once. They put me in a cage, a copper cage. A copper cage with highly sensitive testing equipment. And highly sensitive testing equipment makes me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once…
They locked me in a room, a rubber room, a rubber room with rats, and rats make me crazy.
I can't like this comment enough
Candyman reference real !!
a round copper cage and told me to sit in the corner, that really bugged me. bugs? i hate bugs. they drive me crazy. crazy?
Most efficient government contract process

Something tells me you're waiting for the statute of limitations on assault in your state before you release the story that you beat up your boss at the science shack.
I'm glad videos like this exist so that people can realize a STEM degree is not the fast track to cushy well paying important jobs
It can be, but it's still work
@@josephrupsis4623yea but sadly research work does NOT pay well, especially for post docs and research assistants. It's not something where it pays good after awhile, either.
Ironically where I am more and more people are hiring people from training courses rather than uni just because of how utterly insane some of the uni students are.
Wasn’t this only an internship for him though
Well, it's not just the stem, the branch also matters.
Ask any construction worker or trade worker and they will always say that the lunch break is the most sacred part of the work day.
As someone who has worked some holiday jobs in construction I can confirm that this is true
can confirm that this is true. was a glorious hour full of debauchery and free food since i was a sub contractor
is it a universal physics experience that your freshman year professor calls everything “trivial” while you’re losing your mind only for you to end up calling it trivial a few years down the line
When I saw that another Jeff video came out I got so excited my phone dropped on the fucking bathroom floor and cracked
noooo
RIP
Rest in pieces
I like how this is phrased in a way that indicates the phone just did that
@@alex.g7317 I don't think this is an appropriate time to say that
Bro works at apature labs
id say black mesa. at weapon research or something
I can completely sympathise with you boss. I was working as a manufacturing intern at my university when I got picked to help out with a PHD physics student's research project. Since he was working on some new field physics stuff (which completely goes over my head) he needed about 600 hand made custom bolts to piece together his equipment. So the same as Jeff, I got shafted and hand to hand make over 600 custom diameter bolts over a period of 2 weeks.
Yeah, I misread that as "I can completely sympathize with YOUR boss."
the pallet jack shenanigans sound like an average day at the food factory I maintain.
except the pallet jacks are electric, and the line workers drive them at mach jesus into walls and break them on a daily basis
ive lost count of how many blown up jacks ive fixed.
send help
Thank you for introducing “Mach Jesus” into my vocabulary
"Jesus take the wheel !" Proceeds to make a electric pallet jacket shaped hole in the wall
Serious question does your company ignore osha. Like no training just put any random smuck on the forklift. That’s hysterical.
@@fivestarman9474 not with forklifts but pallet jacks yeah
@@DJGeosmin damn, I had to go through a 4 hour training class to be able to use the PIT at work and a week to be able to drive a forklift. That’s insane that they just put anyone on an electric pallet jack.
3:30 the construction guys giving you a lesson in physics by making a simple lever.
I just imagine him screaming the entire time from the pain and I cant get it out of my head
I would've brought a physical book with me after day 1 of doing the tests.
Bad time reading if you have to constantly monitor the tests and initiate a new one every 2 minutes
@@saltysheev5502 Glance at it every couple of paragraphs and you're good.
bring a harmonica and learn to play it while working.
make sure everyone around that cage feels some pain too.
@@aguyontheinternet8436 Rage Against The Machine on harmonica
@@aguyontheinternet8436 I'd suggest an Accordion; they sound much worse if you don't know what you're doing, they can reach much higher volumes due to the bellows being bigger than your lungs (and not needing air for anything else), and they have a much higher skill ceiling once you know how to play it.
I'm reminded of a story in which we used a large aluminum sheet to cool a clean room that received a vac chamber that was 3x as hot as the previous one by taking the plate in, sealing and bracketing it to the wall and then excavating from the room next-door to the back of it, not breaching the room's seal and cleanliness with any drywall dust or old building arsenic etc. That you could lean against to cool off through the suits.
Got myself a job with the Navy as an electronics engineer maintaining the various fighters/helicopters/drones they have on base. Place was built in the 40s and a good chunk of the tech there dates back to the 80s and 90s, with new stuff bolted on as needed. Gonna start in the next few weeks, so I imagine I’ll be in the same boat as you in no time. Still pretty happy I got a job now though, especially with federal benefits.
What is it with furries and having cool, high paying jobs?
@@inxendereIt's in the dna
@@inxendere pretty sure it’s because a lot of us are more “nerdy” (for lack of better term) than average, particularly when it comes to computer science stuff. Why this is i don’t exactly know, but this has pretty much been the case since the fandom came around in the 70s and 80s, with furry bulletin boards (basically precursor to the internet). There’s also a ton of them in the US Military proper.
@@FlantisFroggu maybe, but my personal theory is that it might be something neurological. Enjoying/being good at programming generally requires a certain mindset, and a lot of furs tend to have ADD (like I do) or ADHD, so I wonder if those things are linked somehow.
You'll be okay. Just remember that 1) the Navy will never spring for new test equipment unless the old stuff dies from obsolescence and 2) Current flows from negative to positive.
I started my career in the Navy and spent a large chunk of it at the OEM service center fixing stuff that your predecessor couldn't figure out.
I love the post-doc stick girl. I felt her stare too.
The hallway bit sounds like the sofa problem.
Love the illustration of a crinkled stick figure screaming on a very expensive box being non chalantly driven by another stick figure on two pallet jacks.
I can't imagine Jeff in a copper cage testing high tech detectors just for it to be put in storage
As a vet, served in the USMC in communications, this is standard practice for anyone in the DoD. You had the luxurious hurry up and wait treatment, I would rate it 5/10 stars for military experience (What really makes it fun is the snowball effect where you are forced to hurry up even faster so that each chain of supervisors can get their "project" done 30 min early. This means that if you have 4 layers of supervision, you are expected to get the task done 2 hours earlier than expected, while staying 2 hours later (so your supervisors can go to their meetings while you wait), being given busy work (only the most tedious will do) so that you don't look like you aren't working.
Construction workers are amazing for something like this. Unfortunate that they had to leave for lunch, but they're respective geniuses when it comes to moving heavy loads with as little effort as possible.
These videos are always so well written, I dont usually leave a comment on videos but considering I see this so early I figured I'd leave some words of appreciation. Thanks for all the lovely videos. The time I spent watching your channel were hours well spent.
> orders 1000 parts and struggles all day to move them
...
> needs to build 1600 detectors
...
Uh-oh.
it's (at least) 1000 *pounds* of parts
These drawings are so full of personality, I'm loving these stories
You see, that's the thing about undergraduate interning, you're are nothing but a labourer. I spent most of this past summer CADing out designs for this company only for them to use only like one of the designs I had made.
Interns doing grunt work. Was my experience with fermilab and surveying. Both different fields haha
It sounds like it would have been easier at one point to get a shopping card or dolly or something from somewhere, unload the crate, and bring the contents over a bit at a time
Jeff has been sent to suffer for our sins
This video was life changing
Wowiewowowowowow!
Reminds me of the time I got to shuck cards out of dusty old server boxes. Company was replacing their older generation, which consisted of about 900 2U solid steel bulletproof servers all stacked up along the walls of a tiny and very warm room.
About a week and a half of stupid fucking security bits later I had a cardboard box of useless old cards they insisted were recovered, despite the fact that they were basicslly worthless. Said box was promptly stuffed in a closet and forgotten about.
And the sad part was that week and a half was the most enjoyable part of my internship cause at least I was doing something. The only other notable things I accomplished that summer were talking to the world's smartest power strip and installing a transfer switch.
your RF cage drawing succesfully recreated the dot illusion. Congrations.
This reminds me of when my company had us move a 5 ton table with a 2 ton pallet jack. We broke the cleanroom floor 😅
the one time a job had me run through the tedium of creating hundreds of assemblies manually for testing, I managed to brainstorm together a method of hacking their clock-in system so I could show up and leave whenever I wanted.
that system came in handy when I felt it was time to quit. I got paid to play games in my car for a month.
1:05 broski learns to draw I SEE YOU

Who did you work for Black Mesa?
Sounds like it.
whoever it was, they seem to have been on the OSHA ignore list.
@@TuttomenuiNext Episdoe:

@@REDARROW_A_Personal I worked for a farm called Black Mesa once as seasonal harvest truck driver. just a farm but it was kind of cool name for obvious reasons.
The “glaring” is amazing.
Hearing the description of the hallway I actually have been in this building and area. Cool stuff goes on, he unfortunately was the bottom of that cool stuff.
Missile parts? detectors? Bro works at Lockheed Martin.
*@Storytime With Jeff*
You could have STARTED with this step 5:17 (unless dust-sensitive equipment, or something?) since you are going to have to unload it anyway, and then you would only have to run like a shopping trolley back & forth a few times, which seams like a much easier task than disassemble the entire building as you go along :D
Bro is traumatized by working retail for a week, and doesn't even have to deal with customers.
business is business. Sometimes, the greed monster is the one with the means to provide the product. And requires a minimum purchase amount when the business that needs it only needs five of them.
The wild hair and full bearded wild man image after doing 1600 units is priceless! rofl
I too had to use the ol' two pallet jack combo with a handtruck aswell to move some giant boxes containing maglock lab doors out of a semi to the loading bay what a pain in the ass
This is got to be one of my fav vids ever too!! Keep up the great work brother!
6:49 Never have I heard a man so giddy about someone else's misfortune
Your talk of mag sheilding on MRI reminded me of my intern days as a BMET. I was doing PM's on ECG monitors. I got to one that passed all tests but the trace on the CRT was at a 45 degree angle. I returned to the biomed shop and said what I found they asked what unit number was it that needed its astigmatism adjusted on the CRT. They told me oh thats fine that unit is outsuide the MRI suite theres nothing wrong with it the MRI's magnetic feild messes with the CRT (even in the hallway outside the MRI suite).
About died when I heard "arts & crafts with PPE".
this is why i became a detective, social engineering and solving crimes is way more fun then the math and compsci shit i could have done, and i still make enough to be independently wealthy.
how do you go about being a detective?
I'm doing that compsci shit rn, but being a detective always sounded really cool to me

I’m an in-training FC for the Navy right now, hoping to work on the SPY-1 system or ACNT. I’d imagine if I get there, this is going to be a part of life I’ll have to live with in some capacity, too. I shall heed your story with great care
0:23 As soon as he said "one of the other interns." I knew it was gonna be downhill from there.
0:18 things go wrong here
Sounds like the elevator needs to be fixed…
And whoever greenlit this didn’t think about anything like “can this even fit in the building?” also… 6:50 LOL “welcome to the sweatshop!”
yall might like this, i interned at a company doing security things and fire/smoke systems and to test the central part ya need to wire up everything to the max so what i did was connect smoke detectors and fire alarms for about 4 weeks. for one type of smoke detector was addressable up to 127 smoke detectors which ended up being 4 days total of tracing where everything is going to be, drilling out holes to where these smoke detectors are set to mounting base plates for the smoke detectors, cutting and stripping wires for each of these, mounting and labeling all of the smoke detectors. all in all i think that set took about 4, 8 hour days.
Looks like planning ahead wasn’t a requirement for that job.
That's the problem with interns. It makes a lab lazy. Instead of a proper testing rig or getting like 3 or 4 people together to get it done in a few days, throw an intern at it. That said, even as a boss, its kind of hard to justify that kind of manpower when you know the equipment might not ever be needed. Your just trying to get the guy above you to shut up about it. And that guy is trying to get the guy above him a new jet.
I missed your stuff man, love the story as always!
How much would they have to pay you to keep doing that? Because what you've described sounds like the years I spent as an electronics assembler 🤣
The real reason no monkeys are used as such is due to monkeys costing way more. And usually being somewhat less hygienic.
you mention a metal piece you think was part of a rocket - aerospace then? man i love living in seattle area area surrounded by engineers who work on metal birds.
the industry has been great to my family, and my brief work experience in aerospace was good. weirdly nostalgic and heartwarming to hear that story of workers from a different organization coming over to check if you're okay and end up helping you out of a bind. we don't belong to employers - but to each other!!
im playing subnautica and that roar in the beginning startled the fuck out of me
Why is somebody else fixing a problem you caused a reason to not take lunch? Brain need food to work. Body need food to work. I'm with the construction workers on this one.
It came from the same person who thought it was completely unreasonable to ask someone if it would be ok to remove the handle to their office door for 5 minutes, so I'm not that surprised.
The funniest thing is they finished early, they could have just gone to have lunch, maybe even come up with a good idea to handle corners in the meantime...
Bro got the guanjong autonomous prefecture treatment 🙏
when I saw that another Jeff video was announced on his Instagram coming out today at noon I got so excited my phone dropped on the fucking bathroom floor and cracked
This is why you keep a few spare 20 ton bottle jacks in the utility closet.
Ahhh yes another story time. My AP/IB friends love your stuff after i introduced it to them.
I love the "are you serious" illustration
We must imagine Sisyphos happy
Great video as always!
There are videos that start reasonable and get more absurd as they continue, but I thought that this was a video about a literal detector from hell and watched as it became more and more believable
"Unlike interns, animals have rights"
🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
That "Good Luck" sounds like the voice clip at the beginning of Star Fox (SNES)
I woke up to this… I love it
Glad you're back making video again, always nice to see you upload
it's jeff!!
if this is a dream please don't wake me up
It's funny how people's definition of "hard work" differs. They went home after this; for me this would be a minor inconvenience before my lunchbreak, then come back and deal with more stuff like this for the rest of the day. I guess when you spend your whole life exercising your brain and neglecting your body...
This is the high quality sound design I subscribed for
I have recently discovered the hell that has been dealing with Collegeboard’s shit
I should have listened to your warnings
Edit: as an intern at a public facility (they take high school students somehow) omg i can relate to this 😭
And that's why you make the company sign a training contract where the exact working conditions and assignments they can give you is clearly listed, every reputable company with good intention is gonna sign that without much of a problem, but bloody hell stay away from company that won't sign those things, they don't care about you in the slightest and only see you as free/cheap labor for the shitty work opposed to getting experience in the field, that thing why you're here in the first place
I know nothing about tech but i still understood what you were talking about
Higher calling, lunch break
Im so glad Jeff came out of retirement
Pay them the same rate and those construction workers would have taken that job in a heartbeat.
That post doc really showed how to use three degrees
I was working on a simulation.... Meanwhile computer.... STEPBRO!!!!
Probably should have unloaded the crate and brought several parts at one trip.
Nice audio trick/manipulation by the end :)
Moral of the story, construction workers have far more common sense than college students.
Yeesh. At least when I spent months working at a packaging plant where the work was dull, repetitive, boring, and also quite often helping Snake Oilers do business I could look at the pallet of finished product at the end of the day and feel like I'd contributed to _something,_ especially when that something was liquid ampules for early covid tests. You...did not have that luxury. And I'm not gonna lie, sometimes having a tangible and arguably useful end product getting shipped off to who knows where at the end of the day was all that was keeping me sane in that horrible place.
Hearing these stories kinda repels me from engineering
no way in hell this is a real story 💀
Why?
@@sharpie6562 This shit sounds surreal man☠️ but from other comments, I believe it now
Did you maybe think you might break down the crate and transport it in batches?
Damn. That sounds like suffering. Good god.
WAKE UP NEW JEFF VIDEO!!!
Kafkaesque nightmare
I havent seen the video but good video Mr.Storytime
