Sometimes its not even avoiding work. Sometimes there is not a lot to do. My core job at this point is very reactionary fixes for a legacy system at a large company. It does not really break though. But like, ysterday I had to replace a 15+ year old server. With another 15+ year old server I had here.
Today, I basically have nothing going on, no calls, nothing to fix. I have been at the office for 2.5 hours dicking around on my phone.
I used to fill the daydoing random training, but I have learned a lot.of what I can and care about with the resources I have. I basically run a couple of teams but they are all not very active. I could find a new job mayne but this one pays great and almost anything else wpuld require moving which I do not want to do for a variety of reasons.
I am the only one even in the building 90% of the time.
It does get old, but its also fairly cushy, and I am very happy to assist others when they message me or whatever for help, which happens a lot.
