ah i see, yeah that's true different cities do have different cultures for stuff like that , though i'm hoping that will matter less as remote work is becoming more accepted
i hope you find a role you'll be happy in!!!

mm that's true i think that is common :-/ but not necessary! i've worked at a few and they all had p good work/life balance imo
i've kept the same hours everywhere i've worked and everyone respected that and there wasn't any pressure to work beyond the hours i set
maybe i've just been lucky though? i also prioritize culture quite a bit when i job search

i hope you get the compensation you deserve!! i think we're in the same industry , if you ever want a second opinion on job stuff my pm's are always open :3

mmm ^^ i used to have an everything bagel w cream cheese + coffee every day when i was in school
when i have it now i still kind of associate it with that (..... for better or worse lol)

i've gotten in the habit of eating at regular times regardless of my appetite :0
just cuz i think it'll be good for my body , and i've gone thru periods of not having any appetite but would still make the effort to eat anyway

ah i mean why not ^^
there's probably not much more you could really do besides fiddle with stuff if there aren't any people needing anything from you?

not to generalize but i feel like a lot of workplaces, esp if they're more later-stage career people ,
it's like work is kind of just like do ur time and get paid so you can focus on family / life outside of work lol
so like being speedy just isn't really worth the effort / not really any incentive for it

true true that would be ideal :-/
have u considered like, working at a startup environment maybe? i feel like those tend to be a lot more fast paced and could be more fun/engaging for you

mm true ^^ i was thinking of how like i feel like i talk to internet friends way more than irl friends ... ?
since these kinds of internet spaces are specifically for chatting :0
whereas i might not constantly chat w my friends ... i think bc of the nature of texting it feels like it's like ... i have to reply to every message vs. w online spaces you can dip in/out whenever you're in the mood for conversation

i love doing furniture layout stuff! i'll totally rearrange ur furniture for u lol

and i'm similar abt working efficiently/fewer hours :3 i think it is totally 100% ethical lol
like if someone takes 8 hrs and it only takes u 4 hrs, u should totally take the rest of those 4 hrs to relax / do whatever you want
otherwise i feel like you'd just be penalizing yourself for being efficient?

also i feel like ppl don’t really notice what hours you work too much? like i have no clue what my coworkers are doing and frankly don’t really care lol

like they could be working constantly or not at all and i probably wouldnt notice any difference at all as long as i get what i need from them eventually

i think i read a lot of wfh people end up working more hours lol
i’m definitely working less but also i tend to reply to messages async (like i’ll get to it when i get to it / am checking and probably not right away) and i think people know to expect that from me and respect my work life boundaries

i think i def have more time cuz my commute used to be abt an hour each way
and i prefer working fewer more focused hours over a whole 8 hours but filled w goofing off
(i say as i simply work fewer hours filled with more goofing off)

oohh what kinds of things do you usually do?

tbh i tend to skip virtual events, unless it’s specifically to hang out or chat w friends i feel like they don’t appeal to me as much
like i need the in person aspect to feel engaged, i think it feels too much like work lol
