I thought this morning would be totally happy but the sheer pointlessness of my job stood out. I got over it though.

I haven't had junk food or binged for over 7 days now. I don't know how my cravings went away. I'm actually losing weight.

The sunshine was glorious on the weekend and I partly wasted it, even though I went in some walks.

Some kind of government job, if you can. Apply for everything, even if it sounds stupid. It probably is, and eventually you'll get a job that you can't get fired from. It's basically welfare.

if you want to live the wfh whilst doing fuck all dream, you have to change your mentality.

The majority of junior devs are gonna be telling you to work hard and try and get a job in one of the big FAGMAN companies or whatever. However, thats just for those wanting to work hard and go places in their career. Places like that are gonna be on top of their shit, and you're gonna be in competition with ambitious devs and thirdies who want to work hard. So forget all that shit about getting a job in a prestigious tech company. In fact, forget about getting a job in any tech company at all, since these people are gonna be relatively switched on.

What you need is a slow to adapt, boomer company that knows fuck all about tech, but has been told they need to hire some developer/tech guys. Some of by cushiest WFH gigs have been finding some small/medium sized company whose office is full of old boomers, and tiktok addled zoomers who run everything through emails and basic spreadsheets. I would literally streamline and VBA all that shit, and basically get to the point where you are doing all that shit for them in about 10 minutes per day (whilst keeping secret that youve automated it) and just chill for the rest of the day.

Those places are gold mines for people chasing the wfh and doing fuck all dream.

Decent advice anon. Although you should establish you are necessary before getting comfy with doing fuck all. Especially as a junior you need to produce something that will help and build your portfolio. If it doesn’t work out you’ll have nothing to show for it if you fuck off immediately.
Currently trying this to leverage a wfh position at my job so I can avoid paying rent when my boomer boss realizes the importance of an IT man automating the sales and accounting process internally.

I find it difficult to take on a big personal task when not working. Instead I fill my time with short things that can easily be interrupted. Aka watching short youtube videos, shitposting on 4chan, browsing wikipedia, short walks, making sandwiches instead of proper cooking.
It's not fulfilling at all but I feel like I could get caught if I leave my work laptop for longer, also more guilty for not doing shit.

I did the wfh for a year the last 6 months I only worked 2 hours a day. But I still got depressed because of how meaningless my job was. Even though it was so easy and I had to do almost nothing. The few tasks I did have to do (some emailing, excel and sap lookups) killed my soul.

Then my portfolio hit 500k and I quit. I've been travelling ever since. The past 3 years I worked only 6 months . Rest was travel. Came home and worked in a factory for 6 months then left again.

I can never ever go back into an office wagie cagie. It's over for me.

Honestly, a 500k nw might be enough to coast forever. You would need to be frugal Fred, but if you deployed your bankroll and liquidated $2000 of investments as needed you might actually make it.

It is, just don't have kids and save money like crazy. Learn to work on your own car, grow food, repair appliances, etc and you will save more.

Wfh made me so lazy.
I would think it gives me more time to visit the gym or learn new skills. But it's nothing like that. My energy level is in the gutter and the extra time is just spent on stupid shit.

Yesterday was boiling hot during my lunch time walk (I was noticeably sweating) and after work I did some chores and went for a walk, while seeing a depressing amount of attractive young people. I then drank coffee in the car, browsed the internet at home, played an enjoyable video game, then went to the gym. I could tell at the end of my walk that this felt like the end of summer.

Today's lunch time walk wasn't as hot as yesterday's. Today isn't a bad day but it feels like a shadow of yesterday's.
