I’m getting a god in ancient Somalia, the Woman Army Auxiliary Corp, and a radio station in Michigan here.

The thing about a job for me is I want something where I can punch out and leave the job and stress behind for the most part, not feel shitty about what I’m doing with my life, and make decent money ($50k+ a year). I’m smart and analytical (LDO poker player) so I can become good at anything I put my mind to but haven’t really ever found anything I am great at…

You will never find anything you are great at.
Nobody owns a cat?
I live my life in accordance with those two proverbs and let the rest fall into place.

For some reason I can’t read this thread title without saying plandemic.
I don’t know if the word dumb primes my brain.

It’s very easy to become familiar with something, but it’s like winning the lottery to find something in which you have the capacity and desire to be more than competent. And only then can you put in the enormous amount of time and energy in order to cultivate your skills to truly be great at something.
I got very lucky to build a career around creativity, art, and teaching, but it’s my passion for stories and storytelling that gets me through the days where I want to claw my fucking eyes out.
The thing is that I’m doing for a job what most people do for recreation. I watch movies and read books and then tell the writer or the audience what I think. Where does that leave me when I want to take a break? Well, I love stories so much that I have to force myself not to watch a movie or read a book when I’m on a break. I don’t know if it’s like that for you, but it would be the same as if you clock out and can’t wait to go home so you can write some more code.
In the end, I’m doing this just as much because I would be doing it even if it paid $0. Thankfully it usually pays slightly more.

So given that I DGAF and my company is reeling I am trolling the crap out of my deplorable boss by sending in my status reports as if they were Trump tweets…

Sounds like a fun place to work.
“Before I came to CPI, I did read some reviews on GlassDoor and they talked about a sense of white privilege and everything,” said Baskin.
One review WBTV’s Bria Bell found on that website read, “CPD has decent pay,” and “Expect customer abuse to go completely unresolved. Warnings on accounts of racist customers to ‘not send black technicians,’ etc. are not uncommon.”
Just curious what part of capitalism calls for the generous unemployment benefits we’ve had the past few months? And if you’re upset about the unemployed collecting a living wage for a “vacation” I’ve got some bad news about what society would look like if your boy Bernard had his way.
IDK real life was a helluva lot easier than I expected post poker. Just have to, again, be slightly better than half of your competitors.

I may be mistaken, but I believe tab’s hot take contains both ironic support and ironic condemnation. As is his standard

That irony seems to have been lost throughout the rest of his post as he singlehandedly makes the best case I’ve ever heard that the right’s theory on the necessity of keeping the working class in a constant state of economic insecurity is valid.
Congrats on being a fraud. Also no you should not quit your job, pandemic or not. Unemployment is a safety net, not an alternate lifestyle for people who decide they just don’t want to work.
You don’t get unemployment when you quit your job Mr. Plans.
