This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Ah yes, Federal employment. Can confirm this is the case for almost all of us.
Any IT positions I can pretend to work at?
can you download adobe reader
Sorry all I know is Google Ultron
Jeez that sounds like work forget I asked.
I can even do that with a chocolaty command
You're overqualified, sorry. What's next powershell scripts?
Well, yes. But I'll have chatgpt make them.
I love chocolatey because i had to deploy with FOG for so long.
Pretend work sucks more than real work
Ok. I'm going to ask for a raise.
I'll take your stapler

Good luck!
Only if you can't fake the pretend work. If I can tab out and play counterstrike while on the clock, then it's cool. But if a micromanager is watching the pretend work to ensure it gets done, then nah fuck that.
Not when you're playing videos games all day.
Yeah it does. Unless your boss is completely cool with you doing so and you don’t have to look over your back.
In that case, rock on!
Work from home, get work done in two hours, just have to be present to answer emails timely while gaming.
I did like WFH, log into the meeting with camera and mic off and then just eat cereal or play games while listening to the meeting
Literally my current job. I'd estimate I only actually work about 30 hours per week on average, and generally spend the rest of the time relaxing. It's a sweet gig, but I just wish the work I do spend my time doing was more fullfilling
