This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That's how I learned to code. Got a night security job to pay bills and just took my laptop there. In my whole time there I had to get up from my desk maybe 2 times because some drunk dudes would get lost and stumble into the territory lol
This is exactly what I think every time I hear about boring jobs. Why not use the time for something else? But I suppose in many boring jobs you are still monitored and have to pay attention.
Many boring jobs are overly strict and forbid employees for any form of multi tasking and often not because it would make them worse workers but because the employer has all the power and would rather not take any risks even though the risks are so minimal.
I mean if you pay someone to watch something, you think it is a super easy job, but you want him to do their best.
Still I don't think it's reasonable for someone to be at maximum alertness watching like a store somewhere at night.
But I believe there are many jobs where people don't care. You have to be there and not break some rules, but that's it.
