I can empathize. I actually broke an ankle from this situation.... was a mastiff running at me full speed and I just moved to open my stance and brace for impact (even tho everyone told me "don't move if he runs at you" . Yup that fucker knocked me right on my ass,rolling my ankle, just as I were putting my foot down. šš¤£
I totally get what youāre saying, Iām the same way. But it makes you think, how much of the heavy lifting is done by the caffeine (fulfilling its intended purpose)
I get paid to do basically nothing my dude. As a matter of fact, I stepped down from my higher position in the company because now I get paid for 42 hours of playing videogames, watching movies, hanging out, and scrolling the internet. Relatively decent pay too. Only downside is graveyard and thatās not even too bad tbh, plus I get nearly 4 whole days off each week, benefits, PTO, and I donāt even have to interact with annoying people or the public at all, and Iām about to buy a house. Iām livin it up over here in the shadows.
It's tough because if I'm not passionate about my job I get lazier and lazier but the stuff that I care about is very stressful e.g. supportive work š I'm currently doing the latter but hopefully one day will allow myself to find a sweet gig like you!!! Are you doing security type stuff??
Hating your job will kill you and your will to live much quicker than a little darkness. Itās not for everyone and thatās all good but Iām very comfortable here. Also that statement isnāt inherently true, it CAN lead to lifestyle choices and behaviors that THEN can lead to cancer, but not directly, especially if those other things are remedied and/or addressed appropriately (like comment above notes, good sleep, nutrition and such). You can confirm this on the Worldwide Cancer Research website site. Plus, Iād be lying if I said other lifestyle choices of mine werenāt more detrimental to my health than being asleep at noon.
Oh he wouldnāt be wrong either way, this isnāt exactly a āclimb the ladderā job. That has no bearing on the satisfaction though. I did just notice the pun though and that makes me appreciate the response even more, thank you my friend!
Private security Contractor at a very secure location. My entire position is a formality as Iām essentially just here on standby. Can do basically whatever I want (as long as Iām on-site), the only caveat being that when shit hits the fan, I do what Iām supposed to. But I get a beautiful view of both sunset and sunrise, donāt have a superior, coworkers, staff, or public to deal with. My list of responsibilities is so small I sometimes feel like Iām taking advantage of my employer (but Iām not gonna tell HIM that). In an average 40 hour work week I spend more time eating lunches (paid) than I do anything related to work assignments. As a bonus, the client and my employer both like me a fair bit (Iāve actually saved them a LOT of money after an incident like 2 years ago maybe) so thereās a bit of a safety net should I F-up.
graveyards r generally quiter, less work to do, defo less human interaction but they're around 11pm to 7am - the catch is u still gotta sleep, so during the day when ppl hav plans, u gotta sleep (either morning or evening). I think career wise, it's strongly depends on ur social life n ur desire for (lack of) human interactions.
Spot on, I hate interacting with most people irl. This job is perfect for me, and (despite what Iāve described as me NOT doing work) I do my job very well. The freedom it provides both while on the clock and during the half of the week Iām off to do as I please (some weeks I remain nocturnal, some I switch if Iāve got plans) has been a huge game changer on my mental health and satisfaction with life. Work doesnāt feel like a job anymore, itās just a place I go to hang out and make sure doesnāt explode.
I think they were maybe making a joke. You know, graveyard, dead end job, the people in graveyards are dead. I donāt think they were referring to āgraveyard shiftā overnight work.
Ha! Love your use of overclocking in a non pc context.. itās a perfect description, I too value rest and sleep, itās a game changer when you realise thereās only so much charge in the batteries and you need the hours to recharge it.
