Then God or the Fates (or whatever you want to call the Universe) had better things in store for you than that job.

I want to keep my new job private for my own personal reasons, but the previous job is a city janitor for various hockey arenas. I've learned not to burn myself out working for someone else, and I love the novelty of being able to work in a unionized environment, hence the sitting on my bum whenever I get the chance.
Don't get me wrong, there are days where I don't have any time to sit at all, but there's a lot more downtime with this job than any others I've had.
Why should you feel guilty about doing some discreet reading/listening on the clock when all the rest of those lazy assholes can get away with it? Pardon my language, but seriously.
The only job worth putting 100% work into? Owning your own business. I did it before, and got sick of working all the time. Now, I'm finishing up a job where I could sit on my ass and read for half the shift because they were hurting so badly for people, and going into another role where when I work overnight shifts, I can basically read all the time.
May I ask what you do for work? If you have a desk job, is there any way you can incorporate personal e-books into your work?
People are lazy and want to be allowed to be lazy. If you look like you're "working too hard" then you'll make the rest of them look bad, and the bosses will cut back their positions, and make more work for them. So, why not make that somehow work to your advantage, if you like to read?
This is how demand destruction for US vehicles in Canada begins.
No doubt! Even though I live in an area which has snow six months of the year, I'm planning on getting myself a bicycle to get around for basic things like going to work or smaller shopping trips. The less I can use the car, the better.
SO SAY WE ALL!
May the Great Divestment from the Dis-United States Located In North America (DUSLINA) continue.
Well, Artemis II can do a flyby of the Alien Space Nazi Moonbase on the dark side and that will get the meteorites going. I'm not sure how he'll manage the locusts. Genetically modified grasshoppers?
If we're outside of the US, spending money on things that aren't American products, as much as possible.
If Trump isn't roleplaying the Antichrist from the Book of Revelation, then I don't know what he's doing.
Good, all AI in its current form does is make people lazy, stupid, and possibly crazy. It has a place, but not as a pale shadow of the dot com bubble.
