The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I do actually like my job, but I sure as shit don't give it a single thought when I'm not at work.
I fucking love my job.
But every minute after 4 pm is overtime. And I won't let myself even think about that shit not on the clock.
I know I have some issue with nutanix I gotta troubleshoot today but I won't go deeper than that til I've sat down at my desk.
I bring my laptop with me when I leave the house because if something clicks, I wanna get it done and get paid.
This is the way.
I am so happy I quit my career in academia. Now I just clock out and do the Bob Kelso. Not having to think about work in your free time is a bless
Right. I'm also lucky in that I like my job, but I like my family more.
