Don't self sabotage @OP
brunettebelle
You got this!
DrDresDog
Dont worry, you'll still be here
kgburden
Believe me, it's gonna suck for a month. Once you get used to actually working through your whole shift, it's worth the trade-off.
iamthisguy247
@OP - get your paper, improve your life. We'll still be here for you in the evenings and when you poop.

As a wise man from my wife's gaming guild once said, "real life takes precedence."
JalapenYoBizness
I was there once. Turns out I got the job AND still browse Imgur.
Notsofunnyone
Oh man! This is my future fear as well!
Maldraek
with actual work to do, your days will go infinitely faster
ErogenousEnigma
Had a job for 5 years where I did next to nothing just played games, watched Netflix,. Got a new job cause monies,actually have to work-
ErogenousEnigma
Had the same concerns, but I've found I actually prefer it, it just feels better to feel like you're contributing to your company. -
ErogenousEnigma
It's just more fulfilling.
TheFatLebanese
Sort of the same dilemma.. except that no one has interviewed me yet and I'm dying to leave this shit company!
IHaveNightmaresOfMidgetsThrowingPicklesAtMe
Don't be afraid, use this a stepping stone to a higher paying job and more responsibility. Trust me when I say it is a great opportunity
TheLetterKay
Keep moving forward.
PapierTiger12
Change is always scary at the beginning, but it sounds like the right the decision so good luck
nero4ty2
thanks, its more about having to work in a office with a lot of people, been pretty much by myself at work for 4+ years
NeoKortez
OP, the fact that you knew I would look at the title last is fucken amazing, +1
UncleAuskinen

RisingPhoenix92
Got a job two months ago, now searching for a new one given what I've seen here.
marylanddd
how come?
stilltryingtofigureoutafunnyname
I'm in a similar position, but at least fewer things will feel like repost of you're working
byobb
Similar boat here, except I just accepted the new job and I'm terrified to leave my current one. I have a good deal where I am.
mydickrememberseverything
I was so scared to start my new job, and it's only been two months, but I couldn't have thought up a better place to be. Change is good!
thedilldozer
Good for you! Really tough to make that move. Gotta keep doing it though to make that cash!
Vaderliscious
Gone through this many times. It's always better and not as bad as you think. Embrace change!
byobb
Ever switch industries? I am, and it's adding to my nervousness.
TomSellecksMoustacheComb
8 weeks left on current contract. Sick of the work but the people are good and place is mega lax. Might have to do real work soon!
Primeministerofeatallyoucan
Relate that much to this post, it hurts.
Imtheguywhogetsawaywithit
This happened to me. Worked at the same firm for ten years. Got prompted to an executive position several months ago. Totally worth it.
Matthew0275
I... Just want a job
Kladeda86
I'm in the same boat
TheDisgruntledOfficer
Night shift planet fitness worker.... know that feeling
TheDisgruntledOfficer
Not the gif I was expecting but it'll do
SnipersAngel
That is how I was when I left Gamestop. The money be worth it. Ya get used to adulting
ThoughtfulSatan
That's good. Whilst browsing Imgur is fun, it isn't bad to actually put work in.
nero4ty2
not at all, it was fun having a boring job for a while after working in restaurants, but it is soul sucking to be bored at work all day
itsimpossibletofindausernamethatisnttaken
I work 10+ hours a day of constant work and I wouldn't trade it for a boring desk job at all. 10 feels like 5 when you're focused on work.
nero4ty2
I worked 10 years of 12 hour days in a restaurant before my current job, desk was awesome at first, now it's just like a ball and chain
itsimpossibletofindausernamethatisnttaken
Every job has its downsides. But I always find myself surprised to realize how late it is when I finish. Rather work hard and have time fly!
br3akoff
I really know what you mean. I am in the same position.
misterpar
Im going through the same exact thing, not even funny how accurate.
DarthTrump
do it
halfmexicanhalfamazing
HA! Absolute same thing going on right now.
FerricGuy
so you do nothing all day and hate it?
fraser88mph
I have one of those jobs, I'm working right now. And, I'm bored out of my mind!
wordbootybooboo
I wish I knew what that was like for a moment. I'm working 60-65 hours a week and it doesn't feel like enough.
MrRandom314159
Imagine doing just this all day. No eating, except at noon, and then one or two bathroom breaks. Then repeat day after day after day after
Gymnopedies
Most rich people still work. That just shows you that people really care more about feeling fulfilled than having money and time
midnightwanker
I'm here at work browsing imgur and doing nothing. Not so cool as it sounds!
AlwaysFavoriteAsian
I felt totally useless and it made me super depressed. I needed to come to work and k kW my job has a purpose.
Muzzleshield
I'm the type of person who needs to be doing something all the time
Muzzleshield
So it's hard for me to do nothing going all day, at my job I keep busy the whole time until I clock out
FindYourChillMate
Yet you browse imgur?
Muzzleshield
I have days off ya know lol
TwiggingtonTheThird
I have to be at work for 8 hour regardless of workload, on light days I feel really guilty when I just sit in the office doing nothing.
MightyShoePrint
Why guilty? You have no work while everybody is overloaded with stuff?
TwiggingtonTheThird
no, I take every chance I get to help people when I don't have work to do. It just doesn't feel right getting paid to sit on my ass.
Wrongleveeeeeeer
I think you should cherish it. The world ain't perfect, and if one of those imperfections is free money for you, well, there are worse fates
hobokins
I legit do like 5 or 10 hours of work in a week at my job and I want to die. Having no work to do makes me feel like a piece of garbage.
TacoMunny
It makes the day crawwwwllllll by. I'd rather be slammed and busy anytime.
captbigmansteve
I relate. Even worse, doing 5-10 hours a week & watching all your contributions get decision-by-committee'd to death.
DotheBabyIsaac
"Show me the money!" I'd watch paint dry every day for $100k a year. But slow work (bored) AND being broke is awful.
gimmegimmegimmegimme
Dude me too. Hardcore looking for a new job. Gotta use my brain or feel like crap.
marylanddd
why don't they just hire you for 5 to 10 hours a week?
nero4ty2
yeah, money sucks and there is literally no way to move up unless I move to middle of nowhere Iowa, fun for a while but not forever
PumpkinMasher
Hey! As a middle of nowhere Iowan, I resent that!
nero4ty2
my apologies, just not my cup of tea, I prefer to be close to a big city, and family/friends etc.
RedKG
I've noticed that people from Iowa don't even defend Iowa
SuperKingTheBest1ofthe3
Drove through Iowa once. All I kept thinking was: Iowa? io-wanna get outta here!
SamuraiFoxes
....There's a reason for that.
JohnnyTitelips
At least it's not California, or *shudder* Florida.
IAlwaysUpvoteIowa
Shut up, slut.
wizardpepper
Don't want to spoil the secret
E39M5S62
I'm from Iowa and I defend it. Great schools, wonderful people, low cost of living, beautiful rolling hills. I miss it every day.
Mavgurian
How is the internet?
Thisusernameispoliticallyincorrect
Tbh ames is lit af.
tootscootinboogie
I saw my first horse-drawn buggy, slowly going down the highway, when I drove through Iowa. It's a beautiful state.
nmhurley
Shhh.. let them keep thinking that Iowa is horrible. Maybe then they won't move here.
ElloTherePoppet
I'm from Northern Alabama (right below TN) and that's the same description I use. It has a bad rep, but it keeps a lot of people out (1)
ElloTherePoppet
(2) so it is preferable. It was suck to have a great rep and end up in the same spot as Cali (cost of living, overcrowded, polution, etc).
kadenwtgy
Hey it's still not as bad as Nebraska
sono2015
Where in Iowa are we talking?
nero4ty2
Outside Iowa city, bfe compared to Chicago
AppIeJack
Welcome to the cornfields motherfucker.
nero4ty2
yeah, never going to happen, wife makes way more than i do so i'll keep looking in chicago
MintMission
yay chicago
IAlwaysUpvoteIowa
Fuck yeah.
IAlwaysUpvoteIowa
So, you get to move to paradise? Sounds amazing.
nero4ty2
+1 just for username relevance, but it's just not my cup of tea
PumpkinMasher
I like Iowa... but the winters do suck.
Thisusernameispoliticallyincorrect
What town. Cause the college towns have free entertainment in the form of drunk college students
nooberlass
... Are you in contract furniture... The headquarters of my furniture brand is based in the BFE of Iowa.
nero4ty2
nah, food ingredients

nooberlass
Haha! Either you live there or have worked for the HNI group before
WhatTheFrench
Or both! :)
Dayrest
I've worked in one of those jobs. Sounds like a dream. But man you get bored. Really really bored. And feel kinda guilty. Mostly bored tho.

OlMuskyTheMartian
...wat?
OlMuskyTheMartian
I'm guessing under paid for your position/title, but over paid for what you're contributing... close?
RebelPotato
Samesies. Some days I can keep moderately busy, but other days I am done my work before noon, so I browse. Gets dull and you feel guilty.
Dayrest
I walked in on my boss (I.T.) playing WoW. Went to a coworker asked if he needed help. Yup! Needed help looking at motorbikes. So boring....
bigdckmclongpns
Was a security guard. Had to sit at a desk with no computer, couldn't use phones, no cameras to watch, and had to stare at a wal for 8 hours
Dayrest
Why? Also who would know if you screwed around? As in: read a book or something.
bigdckmclongpns
We were right by the admin office (contract holders). They put that rule in place. "you have to be alert at all times!!!" Fucking kill me
PhilipJFryIII
Try having nothing and No way to browse the internet it's soul wrenching
Dayrest
Yeah Jesus. I'm picturing all night gas stations 20 years ago. I'd go insane.
Arrrrgggggghhhh
I worked night shift at a servo for a couple of years, before smart phones were the norm. Wasn't too bad, there were jobs to keep busy.
Rverence
Did it for a few yrs,as you say it gets really boring ,every second drags & found it affected me outside of work = changed job,busy & happy
IllegalDuckling
I don't see how you could get bored. I accidentally missed a couple days browsing Imgur etc... Multiple times..
Dayrest
It's because there's only so much you can look at, 8 hours a day, months on end. Spend 8 hours switching between your fav media sites. (1)
Dayrest
How long do you think it will take before you want to change something. No games, no books, no chatting. You go nuts from boredom (3)
Dayrest
Only that. Then add in mild anxiety that someone will catch you. Repeat this for 6 months. That's all you can do for 8 hours a day (2)
IllegalDuckling
Now, that makes more sense.
Dayrest
Yeah. It's great for a bit. But when you know that's all you have to look forward to, ever...it's hard to take.
LadyWidebottom
As somebody who isn't allowed to read books in between phone calls at work, I'd gladly take a "do nothing" job.
NERDRAGEohacat
Try looking for work as a data center monitor. You exist solely to reboot a server when an angry client calls to complain it crashed.
TechnicalDrift
In it right now. Reddit and Imgur can only get you so far.
Dayrest
So very true. And that mild anxiety you get that someone will catch you, so you can't REALLY relax. Its just mind numbing.
Hobo42
And frustrating on top of that because you want to do work that'll get you more experience and thus better opportunities to move on.
