Sup lads. Currently taking a lovely 2 hour lunch break to go to the gym, there's a heatwave over here in Bongland so it's bloody hot over here today. Looking forward to a nice cold shower when I get home. Once my 2 hour lunch break ends I will actually make lunch, while pretending to listen to calls.
Hope the rest of you are taking plenty of breaks, got to get that work life balance right!

literally just got a WFH web SEO/marketing job for 55k a year. 5 years experience in that field, been trying to move to embedded software engineering like I graduated in 2020 for (I have an EE degree lol) but with the economy taking a shit, gonna take the time to build up my project portfolio and keep looking. Could always do the over-employed thing too; but my goal right now is min/max the bullshit job as hard as possible (automate the workflow, not tell anyone) and receive paychecks until I either get fired, or find an actual SWE/EE/CE gig.

Getting fired is very possible. It's not really a skill issue- marketing agencies always cut back during recessions, and eventually the axe swings come.

I'm actually WAY more productive working from home then I ever was in an office.
>no daily blow to my mental health at the gas pump
>no soul sucking commute while I state into the distance in stand still traffic, thinking about death
>every day get to office after the above steps, already drained for the day
>because of mind numbing daily office life, only do bare minimum to stay off radar
>wfh: roll out of bed to office setup, open blinds to let the fresh air and sun in. Sip my coffee while cheerfully chatting with team mates in daily meetings, giving helpful advice and helping the group problem solve.
>oh no! Project hit a snag and now I have to push it to a 12 hour workday?! Not a problem, because when I'm done I can just walk into the next room and pass out aftwards and STILL get a decent 7 hours sleep because of no commute.
I just had a company try and recruit me with a promised 30% fucking increase in salary. The second she said no working from home I said we're done here.
The offended tone in her voice was lol worthy.

My Husband works from home and I'm basically his housewife/assistant
I get to do whatever I want all day and just ensure he gets coffee, breakfast, lunch etc. brought to his office whenever he asks and he has a hot meal waiting at the end of the day. He recently got a promotion to a much comfier position and seems to be living the good life, plus it's barely any work for me and I get to just do whatever I want all day really. Other than maybe an hour max of cleaning so the house is nice.

Do as much self-directed learning & projects as possible. Also, lie. Just lie about your experience. Maybe you did contract work, maybe you worked for some small business that's now gone, whatever.
