weirdly I'm still a Linux administrator but with way more fun services to maintain.

[-] save_the_humans@leminal.space 9 points 3 months ago

Can I ask how you got a job as a Linux administrator?

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 months ago

Easy, you mention you want to use BSD and the other IT guys give you that look.

[-] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I'm stuck on RHEL lmao but using BSD for work would be fun

Greeeeat, now I'm jerking off someone for money.

Jokes aside, writing is the predominant single activity I engage in that's in the spirit of the question, and I've made some money doing it here and there. But it was never my job.

You guys have time for other things? I do my job and can fill my day with that. I sometimes have to stand my ground to make other people understand that no, I cannot do this additional tasks everyday, I don't have the time for that.

95% of the time it is busy. The other 5% I use to catch up with the stuff I have no time for when it is busy.

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

If I didn't make time to do anything besides work and sleep like that I would literally go insane after about 2 weeks

[-] MrAlternateTape@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

Well that is when I am at work. My work times are clearly defined and when the time is over, I go home. So I am limited to about 8 hours in a day, with a very rare exception of 15 minutes longer.

After work and in the weekends I still have time to chill, but at work I have no downtime except for breaks. Luckily my boss also knows how busy we are and doesn't complain if I cannot get everything finished, he just tells me what is a priority and what not.

That is really helpful for the stress levels, but it is still a pretty stressful job.

I basically do farming at the level of a second job, so I suppose it would be that even though I don't do it commercially (yet).

There was this Russian developer who got jailed for something a couple years back. I've looked up his website and it was a giant field of mines. Up to the challenge, I've proceeded for weeks to try to clear it during work hours. Finally managed and all I got was something akin to a laugh.wav as a reward.

Guess I'm a minesweeper.

Is this specifically things we do during work hours more than our actual job? Or what we choose to do with our free time?

Cause if it's slacking off at work, sadly, I am probably now a professional Solitaire player. If it's in my free time... Well, my ADHD keeps me hopping from activity to activity so often let's just call it "Special Projects Manager"...

[-] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Tracing shapes & cutting them out.

It's like 20% sewing, the other 80% being planning, geometry, resource management, tracing, and cutting.

And I often discover that I'm still bad at math! Pain. ๐Ÿซ
