    Here is my thoughts about it in terms of day #:
    day 0: the interview was weird but I got a one week run test .
    Day 1: I worked under pressure and survived with a pained back and waist.
    Day 2: I worked through my shift for 8 hours from 3-11 and got all work done.
    Day 3: there was a fight among the team with ratio of 1:4 and it was mostly a fight between women , I was scared and lost about what to do , so I took more work to district myself with .
    Day 4 : overtime .....heard the four girl conspiracies to make the lone women quit the job and not leave evidence that that was their doing and they said I was going to rat on them but my co workers intervene and said I was just bystander as I am silent so I stayed silent but I really don't want this job anymore but won't quit until I get fired
    Day 5: the manager came and berated the five of them and the lone women quit , and then the manager swore that he would fire the other 2 , the other 2 got only scolded , in the end of the day I really hate my job and manager and co workers and shiity customers but would still continue to work just for Money
    Day 6: I hate my life ,my job, my co workers and customers and want to sleep for a while. Btw the manager decided to fire 2 of the 4 and hire another 2 after the lone women left , I hate them all everyone and was ranting about quiting the job to my parents and sibling , but they said to stick with it to learn how to deal with customers and stuff and gain experience but all I gained is how to ignore and finish tasks given by customers I want to go home and not go to that copy center again ... Btw the manager is going to decide whether I stay or not tomorrow so yaay I might get fired I am happy
    I will update it for three more days everyday
    Stay tuned and don't work like me

    Make multiple copies of yourself first and then have them do your work. :blobpeek:

    Only interfere when it goes physical, other than that I would ignore them. :blobpeek:

    Oof, you did the right thing! Stay far far away from other people's fights if they have nothing to do with you! :blobpats:

    Ratio of 1:4? :confusedcatblob:

    What if the other copies took the same idea and copies themselves more to avoid working themselves and then ad infinitum...


    Also please don't put your earnings to bitcoin or something. Get better tools to work better.

    To answer the poll, it's kind of both?

    I love feeling productive and I love doing productive things in general... But many of those things don't necessarily pay me anything, so I need to choose to focus on the ones that actually give me money.

    Do I want to work? Yeah, sure.
    Do I want to work only on the things that give me money? No, but I have to focus on those.

    Money is a means to an end, but work itself can be fun if you can work with what you love~

    lol at the two other choices.

    but its a means to an end. before you can live, gotta survive somewhere so you have a platform to live off on and pursue what you want.

    I've always liked working because it satisfies me to do my job well. I enjoyed it even more once I became my own boss six years ago and started solely doing the work I love. I would still work on something even if I didn't have a job, because getting things done gives me purpose and direction. I couldn't lie around and do nothing with my life. I'd feel like I was wasting it.

    Your job sounds shit. Hope you work hard to either get skills to go in a different direction and/or get a better job.
