Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

I got a new job at my college recently and I'm basically a glorified chore runner, and I love it. The pay is pretty shit and I'd probably make more working in a kitchen, but tbh, I'm literally typing this as I'm "on the clock", and I get to spend like 90% of the time doing my class work.

That's all, that's the announcement. Hope everyone is doing well.

Edit: The wosrt part of this job are the senior workers who feel the need to tell me to get off of my phone. Just now, someone told me to get off of my phone and when I got off of it they were like "haha, i'm just joking!" Like stfu bro, all passive aggressive for no reason smh...the most strenuous thing I've done today was go to the mail-room. If it's not coming out of your pocket then stfu!!!

One of the best jobs I've ever had was a trolley collector. It was a company contracted to work for the chain stores, so I didn't work for the stores I collected carts for.

I'd show up, do about 45 minutes of exercise hauling the carts around, then I'd sit in my car and play on my phone or read a book. Or, hell, even just leave. I'd have 6 hour shifts but trust me when I say the trolleys don't need 6 hours of supervision. I'd often get away with one collection in the morning, coming back for a collection in the afternoon, then peace out.

Anyway, best of luck with your new job comrade, I hope the freedom makes the lack of decent pay worthwhile. It definitely did for me.

If you climb high enough on the corpo ladder, you eventually can sneak into a bullshit job where you have mostly idle time and can play games and stuff and get paid a lot more than people that actually have to toil.

Hell yeah! I also work a job with multi hour long stretches of downtime, the difference feom most places is they literally do not give a fuck about you just chilling and don't give out busy work, so long as the work gets done. Sometimes my stupid puritan brain programming makes me feel lazy, but then I remember this could literally be the reality for like every person on the planet in a just world.
