This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If we cut the bullshit from office jobs we could have everyone doing maybe a day or two's worth of work and getting the same amount of actually productive stuff done. Get all these newly underemployed office workers to do some actually productive work 2 days a week and then all the construction/manufacturing/frontline workers can work less too.

Imagine no longer being chained to the desk and actually getting to teach kids or help old people or cut trees/replant forests for a bit every week. Actually doing something worthwhile, and maybe even touching some grass.

I love programming but I hate how it's basically my whole life now.
