I've had discussions with 4 different OUs. Not one of them has been able to tell me why the firewall is different for this VM. There is no way for me to see the state of each and compare.

That's literally my dream job. I'd spend my day walking around carrying folders and looking extremely busy. Once a day I'd send a "per my last email" email just to make it look like I'm actively trying to get shit done.

Yeah, it is pretty great!

I'm building software to bridge an in house legacy system and a CLI program. It has 1 partial restful API endpoint (no delete, no patch/put). But it does have 3 cyber security suites including one that wraps the runtime. It is not a public API.

I have 4 meetings a week.

Did I mention I work from home?

My job isn't this bad but has the occasional pointless company meeting and the like. I'm fine with it - it's their money they're wasting. I do not look to my employer for meaning - I like the team I work with but I've no love for the work. I'm good at it and try to find joy in it where I can, but it is not my primary source of personal validation.

It's a pretty comfortable life. I've worked for myself before and it was much harder in every way with nowhere near the pay.

This is the way.

I thought I'd love a job like this, and it was fine, for a while.

But you can feel yourself stagnating and you know that when they eventually make you redundant you'd struggle to get another job because you spent too long coasting.

I left it for a job at a startup, much more engaging but also much more work

It's okay even fun at first, but eats your soul slowly over the years. Edit: that ofcourse depends on perspective e.g. what you are doing at the moment. I myself moved from an abusive job to a cozy corporate one, it seemed like heaven at first.

Think of it that way: those nice people are sending you money every month and all you have to do is go there and look busy. Certainly not the most rewarding way to spend your day but having money is nice.

My thing is, as long as I'm not bored at work I'm good. If I'm being paid to look busy but can't keep myself busy I'm going to feel like my brains are boiling away. But if I can actually keep myself entertained and busy and get paid for it? Hell yeah!

Just when you can't take any more; donuts in the break room!
