Hrrm. Been crewtrainer for about a year in 88 to 89. Could be hot sometimes, and the beeping needs some getting used to, but apart from that? Memory? What are you talking about? It's made for mindless drones. Also many older people did it without problems.
Maybe your branch has been understaffed? Can't tell. Worked in a so called 'company-store', managed and operated directly by McD, no franchise. Under german working laws.
Made almost 5000 Deutsche Mark that way, after taxes, which was much at the time, for a single/unmarried man, which had the highest taxes on them anyway.
I think that is the wrong point of view, to reason about this.
Consider houses, or old non-cyberized non-networked cars. Once built they work, more or less, with reasonable maintenance.
The security industry can't be called reasonable maintenance. It's not really their fault, because what they are working with can't be called reasonable either.
IMO anything which makes this farce explode ASAP is good. Sorry for all the beggars which found their niche in there, but things change sometimes. If your'e so smart, reschool and retool?
Depending on the time, country, calling cards wery anything but a scam. More like telcos scamming you! ;->
Imagine back in time, around the year 2000, or so. Some german wants to phone with someone in Florida, US from Germany. The rates were not exactly insane, but very noticable.
Interestingly so called "call shops" boomed at the same time, which advertised calling cards. So I went into one and got some for really cheap. All of them worked, were about 10 to 40 times cheaper per time than my telco, AND had better voice quality. Just dialing a number in Frankfurt am Main, dialing in some code, and then the real number you wanted to talk to. Could be seen as a hassle, but worked for me.
One thing I internalised when speaking with a physiotherapist is that part of avoiding serious issues is making sure you don't stay in the _same_ position for too long. One good ergonomic position is an excellent start, but changing your position several times throughout the work day is even better. This apparently helps avoid building up strain and inflammation in pinch points, balancing out the fatiguing action more.
I have found that my Ergodox allows me to juggle my keyboard halves around the desk at different angles and spaced apart at different widths, and I can put my trackball either to the right of everything or between the halves. It's a single anecdote, obviously, but I have been able to make my ulnar and carpal entrapment issues mostly go away by finding better positions while working and by not staying stuck in one posture or position for too long at a time.
I'm using an old Marquardt Mini Ergo(modded to ps/2-usb meanwhile) which is split, but fixed. Either I am so used to it by now, that I don't want to use anything else, but that is not how I remember it when I got it around the year 2000, or slightly before that. It felt like it was made for me!
But I'm not sitting like a robot in front of it. My office chair is set to sviveling back, which I often do. I'm even exchanging that chair for an inflatable big rubber ball to sit on, from time to time.
