Decent paying job. Reasonable amount of responsibility and job duties to perform, but I could easily justify getting my work done in less than half the time I’m paid for. Hourly position, and I feel absolutely zero guilt for the 4-6 hrs a day I get paid to do less than nothing related to actual work.
