Feel like working and not working for too long both affect my mental health a bit. A job where I don’t have to do too much is the ideal compromise

Don’t mind my job as far as jobs go, by which I mean that I doubt I’ll ever find anything cushier but it’s still a Sisyphean struggle to drag myself in every day and always 50:50 on whether I can motivate myself to do anything other than the absolute bare minimum.

Still. Free lunches.

There are elements of my job I really enjoy. But these are way outnumbered by the elements I don’t enjoy. Pointless job

Definitely, not working at all makes you feel useless and unable to enjoy socialising properly in my experience. Also added anxiety of being broke. Working is worse though.

Not quite the full force of option a, but certainly get along with folk.

One bloke does bring us homebrew in, mind you…

Giving in my notice next week! To go back to school

Speaking of which, best style of quitting:

  • Scorched earth meltdown
  • Cheery thank you fuck you bye!
  • Dignified quiet exit

Your posting on DiS all day

  • Is common knowledge/openly tolerated
  • Not really a problem but keep it on the DLish anyway
  • Bit of a problem, have to keep it relatively well hidden
  • I’m one HGATR thread away from being fired
  • None of these options applies to my work situation, eric
  • Not on workbook

Yeah I’m not quite B but no one really talks to me and those that do I find hard to have a decent conversation where they don’t start talking about dogs on Reddit

My work is very very quiet right now but will get incredibly busy next month. But, my word, I’m bored right now.

Tbh though this isn’t the first dry spell since I started this role last summer. Really only took this job because I figured it would be easier to get out of London, and only wanted to do it for a year or so before moving onto something else. But the quiet periods mean I haven’t gotten actually that much out of the year, and I’ve realised that my part of the department, despite talking big, doesn’t actually much care about staff outside London, and as a result I’m going to struggle to get another job that doesn’t involve at least two overnight trips down a month. Which I just won’t do / can’t face.

Standard “as long as the work gets done etc” attitude. Although the other week my boss told me I didn’t need to be working so much and it’s like m8 have you seen my posting stats, I’m not exactly going a mile a minute as it is.
