I have a very irregular work schedule, resulting in a lot of free time punctuated by periods of intense crunch. It’s not unusual for me to have a few weeks at a time just empty of work.

I post my hobby/sidegig tabletop commission projects, since I’d have been working on them even without Lemmy. Then since in real life I come across many odd things in my traveling, I’ll make sure to snap some photos.

Then I just have a daily habit of browsing certain sites and feeds related to various Lemmy communities and linking to Lemmy whatever catches my eye.

Slow at work, what else am I gonna do? Work?

I have a job where I don’t do anything ninety-seven percent of the time but I need to be ready for the three percent when shit hits the wall.

My job mostly entails me working in a ticketing system all day. When I’m all caught up and there’s no backlog of tickets, I usually kill time hanging out here while I wait for more to come in.

I have a bad habit of leaving comments when I want to leave none ever. So comments >0 is too many by my own reckoning. I have the free time because depression. I make these comments because I’ve lost my self control in that respect

A while ago, I had A LOT of free time to shitpost on social media, and I was beginning to miss it.

I don’t have as much time anymore. 😭

My job is mostly only busy first thing in the morning. I go around and swap out empty containers for full ones. Then I have to refill the empties. The machine takes an hour to run, so that leaves me a bunch of downtime.

At night, I’ll make a bunch of posts ahead of time while I watch TV and save the drafts so I can post them quick in the morning before I head off to work. Some days I’ll get too much content, and others nothing, so I have about a week’s buffer of post content.

I love seeing familiar faces. It’s like talking to your neighbors. I feel it’s an investment. :)

This is my go-to “too long to stare at the wall, but not long enough to play a phone game” time waster.

Post on company time 😉

I check in throughout the day and scroll a little when I get in-between sorts of moments, also watching for notifications. It’s still just fitting into my regular day though, a couple minutes here, a couple minutes there.

It’s actually a lot better than reddit for that, since there isn’t as much activity, so I seldom get sucked deeply in like you can with something with endless content.

I work from home.

I work in a huge building where I frequently have to walk a lot to get to places, so I comment while walking.

I don’t post a lot but I have a lot of free time due to being T-boned on my motorcycle from someone running a red light. My mobility has been seriously restricted since. When I was working full time and posting a lot on Reddit I was training corporate engineering sw. When I wasn’t training I had a lot of time on my hands at work so I’d scroll reddit. I was also traveling a lot so I was away from home and reddit was sort of my travel family

Company time.
