Sunday Scaries Special Edition

Welp, it's the worst time of the week. Going back to work for the first time since Tuesday of last week, just coming back from vacation in the mountains - filled with particular dread now at seeing that mountain of an inbox tomorrow morning.

How's everyone else doing? Winding down? Do anything productive this weekend?

I work 13 hours per day but I'm trying to get more disciplined to be up at 6am so I can get a couple things done at home, bonus points if I brush my kitty cat and do some push ups, and then get to work early too. Tomorrow the goal is to clean the grease trap and scrub out a couple trash cans and then I can leave and get a haircut before opening :D I shaved tonight so I don't have to tomorrow, but I wonder if I should start shaving twice a day like my grandpa used to do

Not that comfy. It's like data entry in an excel sheet at the metagame. Eventually all your goals will come down to fishing 2k trout before you can WC 4k maples so that you can use your 4k bowstrings on them and high alch the stuff so that you can get all the money to buy the planks to get your construction level up. It's not fun and it's not rewarding unless you enjoy the process.

I feel like I should quit. I don't think I can do nothing for 2 years. Its was a really good job, but I actually wanted to do something.

Is this what white collar jobs are like? I have noticed everyone in the cubes just talks all day. They even seemed kinda annoyed that I wanted to talk about work at work.

Am I supposed to just make up my own project? Wont I get in trouble for that? Any advice from old fags would be useful

Welcome to real white collar work.
If you feel like you've done nothing and are still getting paid, look for ways to improve efficiency and then put that on your resume for your next job.

i went swimming with friends today and i think one of them has a thing for me but idk I'll just keep acting like I don't care and enjoying myself, seems to work out best that way. other than that I'm financially unstable and i keep losing all the money i use for trading and I haven't been honest with anyone for years now so my conscience is constantly wearing me down but it's not as bad as the consequences of being truthful with my family and friends because if they knew how much of a loser i really am and how I've deceived them all this time i would lose them and this fake life is all i have so I'm feeling pretty /deadinside/ folks

you should probably leave
my companies engineering department halved a year ago when a major project kept getting pushed back because the deals werent getting through
spent about a year sitting on their hands doing nothing, working on personal projects
the people who left went on to way better places to work at, at better companies who dont pull stupid shit
either try sticking around a while to see if you can leverage your current position as a stepping stone to somewhere better or just start sending out your resume while youre doing nothing at work

In Australia teachers have starting salaries in the mid 60's to low 70's.

You are at work for 6 and a half hours, you only work for 5. Usually you have 4 periods of 75 minutes and usually one period off for the day.

There is a demand for math and IT (pretty much STEM) teachers here. The job is cozy as you do barely any work.

Also this is objectively wrong. Full time teaching is much more strenuous than this, and any teacher who you can remember when at school who made it look easy was fucking good at their job.

Shit you have to do but don't really get any time during your work day to complete and have to do in your own time

>constant planning and updating of resources
>attending meetings and professional developments at least once a week, often more at reputable schools
>marking and reporting, which can take days to complete for a high school teacher with 5 - 6 classes - particularly if they're senior subjects that have large assessment pieces
>constant lodging and recording of student behaviours onto a database so admin can see
>contacting parents of students regarding behaviour or missed assignments
>constant requests from admin for things to complete, usually gets passed down to Head of Departments who pass it down to the teachers
>Extra curricular activities such as sporting teams, music, etc that are expected for teachers to assist in, but are given no time to actually plan and prepare for. All done in their own time outside of pay hours
>Any legal requirements that need to be completed ASAP. Particularly common in low socio-economic areas
>constant changes in the curriculum and syllabus' by governments means that teachers constantly have to adjust what they are teaching to meet the new requirements
>almost always lose lunch breaks due to behaviour punishments, staff meetings, or playground duties

This is all in an era where if there's a disagreement between a teacher and a student, a lot of schools in my experience will side with the student until proven otherwise out of fear of being sued or taken to court in the case that the teacher is at fault (<0.1% of the time). Being a full time teacher is a shit job which no one respects because everyone thinks that you work 6 hours a day and get 10 weeks of holidays a year. I don't recommend it

[Anonymous No.10668672]

>>10668652

Oh, and if you're teaching a deadshit kid who doesn't do any work and fails all the time, it's your fault because you didn't try hard enough to get them across the line. Not their fault that they did fuck all and got the result they deserved. Schools are very protective of their data in 2018 and don't like when their data looks poor (e.g. a large portion of kids failing a subject)
