I am a hard worker, I am autistic 38M, fully employed. I have often described my autism kind of like being a train… the conductor and the people change, but the route doesn't, the train goes back and forth, or round and round all day, that is the kind of job I have, I do my tasks well/efficiently/properly/correctly, it doesn't take long, I get in every morning at 8:30, my tasks don't start till 11 (already have 2 hours 30 minutes to kill in the morning) my tasks take 30 minutes or an hour and a half, then I spend the rest of the time listening to podcasts/audiobooks or watching movies, tv shows. The new Lazy Girl trend on TikTok is basically what I have been doing my entire 11 year full time working life.
I have lunch, come back, do it all over again, then waste the rest of the day.
My job is basically like being a firefighter, I am not spending all day putting out fires, but when there is one, I jump into action.
My headline, being what did work pay you to do today, I mean everyone who has a job, has tasks to do, you send emails, you have meetings, but you also (I assume) go to the bathroom, take a smoke break, network… I love my job, but on a good day I have like 6 hours a day out of 8 to kill every day, on a bad day I have 4. I am bored out of my goddamn mind.
So can there be some kind of subreddit that people can write about what they spend the entire workday doing whatever wasn't related to work, while trying not to get caught or worrying about getting caught.
P.S would there be any way I could potentially (if I ever wanted to) write a book about being in a corporate environment, and what I did every single day, without anyone ever knowing who I am in the real world, or at least trying to remain completely anonymous?
