    Do you learn anything at your job?
    Is it fun?
    Is it a drag?

    Or do you just go in, work, take money, go home and have as much fun in the evenings as you can?

    ¼ my day is emails and sometimes pointless meetings.
    ¼ is finding things on server and emailing it to the correct person or helping boss find things.
    ¼ is doing boring routine design and converting things to jpg or gif.
    ¼ is killing time online

    • "have as much fun in the evenings as you can" sound like a ideal work/life to meOBBTKN
    • Now srly, looks like you're tired of working in an agency alike co., try the exciting world of freelancing for a time, and after this, decide what's better...OBBTKN
    • sounds like every job if you are devoid of imagination. automate tasks, implement systems, train people to use them, make games of menial tasks.kingsteven

    • Why on earth did people downvote this post? The voting system here makes no goddamn sensescarabin
    • I feel like I'm evolving and learning at work, just at a leisurely pace. I "own" my projects and it's deadline based with teams. I can "kill time" when I wantmonospaced
    • My bosses are extremely hands off and haven't (micro)managed any of my work in years. I'm trusted, so I do far less explaining in email than others do.monospaced
    • Workload is a bit lower these days, so I can spend 1/4 of my day cooking, cleaning and parenting, which are now part of my "day job" post coronavirus.monospaced
    • I care deeply about my team and role, but ultimately now I take money and clock out ASAP every day to have as much fun in the evenings as possible.monospaced
