A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Edit: tell me this doesn't sound stupid

There is only two types of jobs:

Doing something someone else doesn't want to do

Or

Doing something a specific other person can't do

The only thing I can think of that someone other than myself can't do is piss my wife off to no end. Not really a job, tho.

It's not incorrect everyone is just playing semantics.

You might like aspects of your job but explain to me why you wouldn't do it for free.

.... that's .... why.... I put it as a shower thought.....

I do it for free. I take old or unused but still good equipment, and help friends setup their home networks.

That prob doesn't qualify as a job.

I'm saying I like what I do enough that I spend my free time helping those up their home network security.

Yeah, it's dope. So why would you associate it with working? Working is inherently unpleasant.
