    48 hrs a week contracted. That’s not counting the extra hours needed to keep on top of things. I try to limit myself to 1 hour overstaying at work …the amount of work piling up is getting uncontrollably out of hand since I started limiting myself to these hours. It used to be a routine of 2 hours of overstaying and 1 hour of logging in remotely before bed.

    If you want the full answer to the question of “how fucked are you”, then this work involves constant people “coming at me” (disgruntled and immature employees I’m managing and endless barrage of service user complaints) and needs to fit around 2 young children (1 has additional needs) and a wife who has a nightmare employer plus exams coming up; and a house that has an ever increasing list of maintenance tasks that have been pending. So overall, I think this describes my situation pretty accurately.










  • I’ve just started chatting with someone through DMs on the basis of a post about friends. A lot of users on Lemmy seem to be midlife men, so my cohort is definitely here.

    Although I’ve been across posts 3 or 4 times where people ask about friendship, no one follows through. I make a room in any chat app they wasn’t to chose and it never gets any joiners. One person asked to be added on Steam, but that’s not really conducive to chatting, if just briefly see them o line sometime when they were in the middle of a game.

    My favourite interactions… I just really like that the communities are smaller (than reddit), so it feels like what I contribute counts more and doesnt just get buried. I comment and post a lot more than I used to on reddit.






  • Seriously interested in anyone up for friendship. This would be the 3rd or 4th time i come across this sort of thing on Lemmy, no one follows through. I make a chat app channel and no one joins. I’ll DM you.

    The dick sucking was all online speak, not interested in that at all. No one is going to be able to beat the skills and hotness of my wife…so I’m sorted there.





  • I listen at x2 speed, so a 40 min podcast only takes 20min. Skipping ads, etc brings it down to 18 min or so.

    I don’t go looking through backlogs unless there’s a particularly interesting and specific old episode.

    I don’t listen to all new episodes. If an episode is uninteresting then I skip it.

    It is worth listening prospectively because most do episodes about topics that are relevant on current discourse and current events.

    If I listen regularly then I can keep up just fine with new releases. 40 min to work and back, maybe another 40 min of listening in the gym. Then if I skip ads/titles/endings, and listen at x2 speed, then I effectively get through over 4 hours of content every day.
