Anyone here have a remote job where they literally don't do anything all day? Any advice to find one?

Sorry if this is I the wrong subreddit. So, a little background. I work as a cleaner and I'm in a union. Part time for the time being. The job's easy as hell, no complaints there, and the work environment is laid back, and with the paid vacation etc, I know I have it better than most folks these days (I'm in the US). I've been there 6 years and some change, and you gain more vacation weeks the longer you work there. Now, I forgot how much time you work there before you get more vaca exactly, since there's a sheet that tells you that once it comes time to pick vacation weeks. How it goes is you choose your weeks far in advance in order or seniority. Far from ideal (the people who've been there forever always snatch up all the summer weeks ofc) but it is what…

For context, I work in food service. I do everything at my job – a lot more than I should. Over the summer, I was part-time working 35-38 hours a week, picking up after everyone who called out because they knew they could guilt trip me into working that much. Plus, they knew I didn't have school and wasn't busy. Now, I only work weekends, but I do things way above my pay grade AND I attend college full time. I do manager level activities because my department manager trusts me to do them properly when she's not there (because my workplace doesn't allow overtime.) I do all of these things without error or fail every time. There have been a few times where I have had to close by myself on the busiest day of the week. Alone in the entire department for four entire hours – it's insane.…

Need advice. My job is asking me to go into a home that is infested with bedbugs. I don't want to do it. Not sure what I can do about it. For context, I am a social worker who services families who have mental health and substance abuse concerns. I've seen a lot, but this just does not sit well with me. One thing is to not know, but to know and still force me to make two home visits, twice a week, for an hour plus each visit. IDK what to do. I don't want to bring that home to my family, and the option they gave me at work was to “dry your clothes in the dryer every time you come back from the visit”. As if drying is free. I feel petty because this is nothing against the families I service. I love my job, but feel…
