Some of the happiest folks you might cross paths with in this crazy thing we call life, are the folks that managed to immerse themselves in the gigs that they don't even feel like calling "work" in the first place.

    Organism - MirandaYokley • 10h A guy on the surveying crew has the job of watching a surveying GPS unit all day. He gets dropped off with the unit, sets it up and sits there and makes sure it doesn't get stolen and that the blue light is still on. That's all he does every day, day after day. He thinks his job is the greatest thing ever. G Reply 910 ...

    Font - han7nah • 14h If you can get a job doing Chat Customer Service, nothing l've gotten paid for is easier than that. People chat me about their credit cards and I look up the info and chat them back. It's really not difficult at all and it's nice to be able to help people with their bills!

Luckily, I finally have worked here long enough that I get to just do chat a

    Font - Wadsworth_McStumpy • 7h Learn some computer skills, get promoted in small steps until you're in an office job where most of the people who work with you, including your boss, don't have any really clear idea of what you do all day, then automate most of your job and spend time on Reddit. I mean, I'm guessing that somebody could do that. Not me, of course, because l'm far too busy dealing with these quarterly reports to waste time on Reddit. But other people could do that.
