A general question that happens to be my predicament at current. I’m a general safety admin/manager that has automated most of my tasks(emails/excel sheets)

Most days I doomscroll fediverse and lurk irc/matrix channels on the work desktop but am curious about more practical or useful things I should be doing instead. It’s looking like this will be my life for a good while since job market is abysmal and promotions are hyperstagnate(have also hit a wall in improving my scripts). If anyone has any similar experiences, please share and advise, as I feel quite lost and trapped :/

    • take professional development on my employer’s budget
    • bring a book
    • don’t be afraid to take slightly longer than usual lunches for errands or for exercise or whatevs
    • if monitoring is lax enough, and there’s unmonitored guest wifi, bring your personal laptop and play some vidya

      Bring a whole laptop to play games? Get a Steam Deck! Or if you want a smaller form.factor then get a Retroid Pocket 6.

      Other than this:

      1. Learn something (language, art, etc)
      2. Read something
      3. Listen to podcasts
      4. If it’s a private office then do a Costanza and sleep under your desk
      5. Watch TV shows or movies
      6. Take up knitting or crochet
