Yeah could just be early days, and it's such a new thing. Like, I mean I'm almost in my 30s but this feels like an "adult" job so to speak. My previous job was in hospatality, and not saying that's not an adult job... moreso that I've always felt so behind in what my peers do. I'm excited for the routine aspect, because being at home and doing nothing but playing video games, while I do wish for it atm, it's not stimulating enough.
But yeah, again, could be early days, I'll see how I go. My boss is nice and chill, and like I said in another comment, hopefully I can have some WFH opportunities once I really get into the job. So yeah... thank you!
Are there other things you wish you could be doing instead of video games? Sometimes there's that "brain off" activity where you're just doing a thing but you aren't engaged and it's really unfulfilling. Even sometimes when I'm playing video games, for me personally, I WANT to be playing video games but I'm in the wrong headspace and it just feels like time spent.
