I'm working a pretty cushy job all things considered. Problem is, it leaves me little to no time for any of my hobbies (even on weekends). I'm paranoid that if I leave this job, I'll not find something as good again and this keeps me working to the bone.
Should I just accept the situation and sacrifice my hobbies at the altar of hellworld?
I was thinking about disguising your hobbies to make it like you look like you are working. I heard of programmers having like a thing that lets them read articles and surf the web while they pretend to code. As long as you get the work done and look busy higher ups will be none the wiser. Maybe something similar can be whipped up to help you write in your down time.
Haha yeah, the key part is getting the work done :doomer:
Is it difficult or time consuming? Either way is it possible to automate it? Like don't go telling your boss you have a robot working for you just keep that to yourself as you pretend to look busy while writing.
I’m actually working on my scripting skills for exactly this! Any languages/methodologies/resources you’d recommend?
The only language I know is lazy, sorry I can't be much help. Maybe try tech comm there's gotta be someone there that can help.
Haha, fair enough. I’ll pick the brains of the eggheads over at tech comm
Depends a lot on your type of work, but you could skim through Automate the Boring Stuff in Python and see if some of the ideas in that book could be adapted to your job. It also functions as a good beginner introduction to Python as a language. I'm not a huge compsci person though, so I don't know a lot about real deep distinctions among different programming languages.
