  • Okay, but did anyone call them “duties” when you were a kid? The school people who oversaw recess were the duties, and if you got in trouble, you’d get sent to The Wall. Then the other kids would play Wall Ball at that wall and you’d have to dodge the ball for your own safety.

    I tell my friends this, and none of them had this experience. They don’t know what “duties” are, they don’t know wall ball or associate it with punishment. Was this only my childhood?


  • I got an office job a couple months ago, after years working in some pretty intense homeless shelters. Now I get paid more and 90% of my job is sitting alone in my office with zero supervision, reading and playing games on my phone. I just had a check-in with my boss where she kept telling me how amazing I’m doing at this. I tell her that I I’m spending most of my time just sitting on my ass, and she tells me that’s normal and okay with this company.

    It pays the bills but I really feel like I’m defrauding someone and I was definitely doing more meaningful work before. My bf says I should stop worrying and keep the easy job but it also gives me anxiety. My internalized work ethic sucks sometimes.
