This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

My work (part-time) officially pays me for existing.

I've finished my last assigned task around 1,5 years ago now and they just keep paying me money to keep me in staff in case they ever need it.

I don't ever come to the workplace, I don't even communicate with anyone. I just have money coming on my card twice a month.

Hope they never stop!

So do you work another job or just enjoy life?

Yes, I work for the benefit of public research on projects that do not pay well, but do society good and build my expertise and background

It's almost as if giving people a monthly stipend to cover their basic needs is good for society as a whole. 🤔

There are a whole battery of risks I'd be willing to take to start a business if I just knew there would be a net stopping me from becoming homeless.

So say we all.
