A general question that happens to be my predicament at current. I’m a general safety admin/manager that has automated most of my tasks(emails/excel sheets)
Most days I doomscroll fediverse and lurk irc/matrix channels on the work desktop but am curious about more practical or useful things I should be doing instead. It’s looking like this will be my life for a good while since job market is abysmal and promotions are hyperstagnate(have also hit a wall in improving my scripts). If anyone has any similar experiences, please share and advise, as I feel quite lost and trapped :/
Yep. Same. When I worked at an office, my coworkers and I would play ping pong a lot.
Also, I would work on my own software projects. This has the advantage that it looks like you’re doing work work.
Or… go off into a corner of the office and play some games on Steam.
Take long walks. I used to be able to kill about half an hour walking around my old office park. Do more laps…
Drive somewhere kinda far for lunch.
Grind leetcode. Doesn’t hurt to stay sharp.
