It's not free time if you're working, anon.

That time is literally being purchased by someone else

What is your job function? I can explain solutions tailored to what you do.

They're stupid enough to have an open office, which decreases productivity. Wanting to waste time in that environment is a natural consequence. Even verbal communication between employees is less prevalent in an open office floor plan. It's brainlet tier.

As a dedicated NEET, it’s my job to read 24/7.

Admirable.

If you are using internal data systems (like file searches etc), then get a copy of the book's text and past it in chunks into the programme and read inside the message boxes. If not, then use unformatted text on word/notepad 1/4 of the screen with the rest of the screen on 'work' items. I worked an office job for four months and typed many short stories into the internal archiving 'notes' box without arousing suspicion.

Kill yourself.
Fuck everyone whose mommy and daddy or uncle, or friend they know, got them an in internship.
I busted my ass trying to get one, going to career events, "networking" (pro-tip, if you don't have money, this is a waste of time and people view you as though you're an interloper with ulterior motivations), and dozens upon dozens of applications. Also had stellar academics. I didn't get so much as a reply or an interview. They are all nepotistic hornetsnests and if you didn't get in through connections you're either a woman or an EEOC cases, or third possibility, a total retard willing to work one an unpaid internship.
My entire conventional career path was stonewalled by idiots like you. Life is a zero sum game, when idiots like you exist, I suffer. Fortunately I switched paths and studied medicine because I was tired of kissing ass, and putting thousands of applications out there, only at best to get a 39k/year job, which costed me more to go to and survive than I got out of it. Idiots like you have everything handed to you on a golden platter and you expect people to relate. Fuck you and fuck your entire family. Fuck all butterfly posters and may they suffer eternal damnation and hellfire.

I do audiobooks at work. You can get through 3 books a week like that. I've also brought my own drafts on a flashdrive, discretely inserted it (normies don't even know what a flashdrive is), and worked on my own shit for several hours a day. If your job uses word documents at all no one will look twice. 'm not sure how well that will work in an open office, I had a cubicle but a window behind me where my screens would reflect so I had to be careful with what I did.
You can bring books formatted to .doc and read them at work on a 1/4 of the screen, but you're gonna need to switch between that and your actual work to make it look natural.
Ahem
*ting ting ting*
Fuck employers

Feels bad man, iktf
All nepotistic shitbags should be hung from lampposts. "networking" is a crock of shit where everyone is just looking for what the other person can give them. Jobs pay absolute dogshit and still have ridiculously high standards. It's normal for jobs to require a 4 year degree, 2 years of experience, and pay less than you'd make after tips working in a coffee shop.
Hopefully I can get published and escape wageslavery. tfw just want to make a living by writing all day.
But I feel it, I never had an internship because my college was in an economically depressed area, so when I graduated I got overlooked for the good jobs and have been working shitty contract gigs since then. Trust fund kids deserve to be fed into a woodchipper.

I'd say just read shit in a word doc or text document that are stationed "naturally," like in a small window that you alt tab to and from.

>>12461063
you seem triggered, anon. are you okay there? need a hug?

Like some other anons have already said, read whatever you read on a screen. Sneaking a book can be too uncomfortable and awkward if they ever get to you.

>>12461084
Based.
If you get published, let us know.
>>12461104
Fake sympathy is the problem. You wouldn't give me a hug if I forcibly took your job away from you and had to starve in the streets.

>>12460764
i do audiobooks while i walk around, but i walk around or wait allot for my job.

RSVP on a smart watch or your PC screen.

My role at my office is pretty inconsequential so I often sneak into the supply closet to read and take naps

Were do you get audio books from. I'm looking for a source that isn't audible. I've been using libravox but I would like some more sources.

I got one with a congressman in DC. My dad was a firefighter and my mom was a nurse, and I was a sophomore history major with a 3.1 GPA from a state school.

You’re not looking hard enough.

I had no desire to work for some wretched swamp creature in the first place.
Still, D.C. would have been far away, has a very high cost of living and its very doubtful that an intern makes is enough to pay for rent and even two meals a day. Going somewhere on the other side of the country, without money or a vehicle that would survive the trip, or any program to pay relocation costs, is not possible. This isn't to say I didn't apply for locations far away, I applied for a few in NYC, hoping that if I was granted an interview, I could bargain for relocation.

The average monthly reported earnings of a congressional intern is
>$793/mo.
After FICA and payroll taxes, that's about $650. Not enough to survive on.

I never complain about my circumstances publicly and I need to deal with idiots like you pretending you had it rough (when it wasn't) and then acting like their success was through their own hard work.
An RN makes over $80k, and a professional firefighter is going to be making well over 40k, so your parents were raking in at least $120k a year. You never had to worry about starving and mum and dad always were there as a parachute to bail you out, and subsidized you to make your little internship possible in the first place.

These are all good suggestions. I fuck around for hours a day at work (like right now) and always make sure my most recent window is something work related. Then it just takes a quick alt+tab when someone is walking by. A keyboard shortcut like alt+tab is way less suspicious than grabbing the mouse and clicking to a different window. If I am actually doing work and someone stops to talk to me, I often ctrl+s, so there are legit reasons to hit a quick keyboard shortcut when your work is interrupted.
