Hey, has your face melted off yet? Oh, it has. Sorry, guess that came off as kind of glib. Well, look, there's a solution—just get yourself a job at an ice factory! Alternatively, you could try getting a job as a reporter desperate for a heat wave story on a slow summer Thursday, like the crew over at NY1. They've got the scoop on the guys with the coolest job in town.
NY1 stopped by to ch-ch-chat with the ice makers at Spingfield Gardens-based Natuzzi Brothers Ice Company, which supplies fancy cocktail bars like Dutch Kills with their custom-made cubes. "The nice thing about it is, you are in a cool place," says ice machine repairman and keen observer Kurt Eggers. "It's usually around 60 degrees in the production area or below that."
It's compelling television, but why stop there, NY1?! Let us show you how it's done on the Internets, with this SEO-friendly roundup of the top six jobs to stay cool in the heat dome: A bartender at one of those fancy polar bars, an Alaskan king crab fisherman, a chef at the Arctic research lab, an industrial butcher, an artisan icecube curator, or, let's see... just loiter in the frozen food section.
If it wasn't 5:30 we'd turn this into a slideshow! What would your ideal summer job be? Let us know in the comments!
