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.

Many boring jobs are overly strict and forbid employees for any form of multi tasking and often not because it would make them worse workers but because the employer has all the power and would rather not take any risks even though the risks are so minimal.

I mean if you pay someone to watch something, you think it is a super easy job, but you want him to do their best.
Still I don't think it's reasonable for someone to be at maximum alertness watching like a store somewhere at night.
But I believe there are many jobs where people don't care. You have to be there and not break some rules, but that's it.
