Professional flight simulator pilot. I can fly a Boeing 737, 747, 777, 787, Airbus A300, A310, A320, McDonnell Douglas MD-11, and BAe 146, as long as there are no system failures and I can access my Navigraph charts.

Time compression would be great for those long haul flights as well. NYC to Tokyo in a few hours at 4x time would be sweet.

Is this specifically things we do during work hours more than our actual job? Or what we choose to do with our free time?

Cause if it's slacking off at work, sadly, I am probably now a professional Solitaire player. If it's in my free time... Well, my ADHD keeps me hopping from activity to activity so often let's just call it "Special Projects Manager"...

Without looking too far my prediction is to see 2 varations of replies mostly:

1.) I do something completely unrelated and enjoyable because my job is chill, or I'm good at it, and so on...

2.) I actually do my boss's job and maybe even their bosses' jobs,, because I actually do the work that gets done, but am still paid at peon-level.

Tracing shapes & cutting them out.

It's like 20% sewing, the other 80% being planning, geometry, resource management, tracing, and cutting.

And I often discover that I'm still bad at math! Pain. 🫠

I watch anime professionally? I guess I'm writing anime reviews now, or something?

I really hope everyone’s answer is professional sleeper, otherwise we have some very unhealthy people.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

You misread the prompt, it's during work hours, not the whole day. Unless we'd expect people to sleep during work hours instead of the rest of the day to be healthy.
