He had to be on disability. Work from home didn't exist back then. He didn't have any crafts or artistic gigs going on that we saw that would have been a work from home type of thing.

I feel like I remember he was roadie for Metallica at some point? I might be making that up though. But if he was, he could have gotten hurt and be on a fixed income now.

My uncle was worked from home for over 40 years starting in the mid-80s. It absolutely existed back then, it just wasn't very common.

What did he do?

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He was a lawyer for an oil company in Alaska but worked from PA

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Definitely not a Dude job.
I get ya though.

It ended up being cut but he was supposed to be heir to the rubix cube fortune

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Interesting. I'm glad that was cut. It doesn't feel right.

My dream job, unemployment.
