I work a government desk job where sometimes entire days pass by without anything to do. What's a good way to invest my time?

I would literally end my life.

Because you’re being paid to sit on your ass?

No i'd rather invest my time. I'm learning to code right now desu.

>>16642133
Yes. I've worked on office job similar to what OP is doing. Siting on your ass doing nothing is great at home, doing it in a place you don't want to be is pure suffering.

>>16642151
If you can keep yourself motivated to learn on the job and they don't care then absolutely do so.

But you’re being paid to be there anon...

Fellow lazy government worker here. I'm also unsupervised so I started bringing my laptop to work and play games for hours. I hooked up another router to the commercial internet so I can get online without dealing with NIPRnet bullshit. Sometimes I do stock research or day trade or shitpost on image boards.

Do you work on a military base? Check out the gym and the DFAC. Sometimes I just go out and get chores done or shop at the commissary.

Back when I was better supervised and working in an open office I would do online trainings from JKO and DAU which were accredited and free, then I signed up for an online graduate degree and transfered the credits and used the degree to get the cozier job I have now. There is also GLOSS and Defense Foreign Language Institute if you have a CAC card and want to practice learning a language, while appearing to do actual work.

I worked as a government contractor for a while (tech shit). It was extremely boring with mediocre pay. I now work a much higher paying/high stress job in the private sector. I'm thinking if I still have to wage when I'm in my 40s or 50s I'll try to go back to gov contracting since it's chill as fuck most of the time.
