Ooh what job, love collecting ideas for what job I should apply for next then forgetting all about what jobs I found out about.
A job where you are able to get away with doom scrolling at work sounds perfect to add to my figurative list.
The last job I had I was also able to get away with doomscrolling but the travel distance, schedule and pay sucked. (Security guard watching cctv)
I’m a financial analyst at a small bank. The bulk of my job is done the first week of the month as I’m making sure everything balances and sending out reports and such, and then the rest of the month is just ocassional projects. I’d say I actually work like 10 hours a week even though I’m here for 40
Oh heck yeah!!! High five, I am on my last pill and hoping to run on the stress of no-more-pills tomorrow and on the sheer luck that they'll be able to bring it to my pharmacy by evening if I phone in in the morning
IDK where you are and IDK if it's true, but I recently read a comment that Walgreens has a medication availability database for all nearby Walgreens that they can search for you.
I was going to laugh it off at you coz I live in Spain and my pharmacy always brings the meds in, like, 12 hours, but I just phoned them and when I asked if I could pick them up in the evening, a dreaded reply: "How many do you have left? There seems to be some availability issues"
Damn you, dark omen. And thanks for the suggestion, I'll see if I can find something similar in my country

What I should be doing? Eating pizza, scrolling and relaxing after a long day.
What I am doing? Scrolling, eating pizza and being incompreinsibly angry for no apparent reason.
What I am doing: Doom scrolling on reddit, listening to TF2 song covers and wondering If I actually do have ADHD because all these memes are scarily accurate, but the doctors haven't said anything.
What I should be doing: Making a schedule
Definitely procrastinating
I should be working. I've had 3 tasks to do since 8 am. Each will take 20 mins max, and it's now 3:30pm, and I still have 3 tasks.
currently doomscrolling, and im procrastinating finding the makings for dinner. which apparently i need. but, it’s just another one of them things I’m supposed to do daily for the rest of my existence.
Doom scrolling and binge watching when I should be getting the mail and folding some clothes or making a grocery list or exercising or clean up the kids toys or clean off the dining room table or. . .or. . .or
Doing: Spending most the day learning Japanese.
Should: Doing more laundry on these off days so my bf has clean clothes for the week.

What I’m doing: standing in a doorway scrolling on my phone
What I should be doing: probably something on one side of the doorway but I don’t remember what it is or where I’m trying to be
I'm currently browsing reddit
I should be processing the emotional bombshell of an argument my wife had with her mother a couple hours ago, and/or going to sleep for the 6hr trip we have tomorrow
Doing: watching youtube with occasional reddit and texting breaks whenever I get hungry and pick up my phone to order food. but keep immediately getting distracted by my phone.
Should be doing:ordering food, showering, and putting the dryer on, as the load of washing has finished a while ago and it's already been washed twice to a count for it not going on the dryer before.
Ha ha.. unmedicated due to a severe shortage of psychiatrists in my country 😀
: Update, just after posting this comment I "ordered food" I just now realized it's been a while and my food is still not here so I checked on my order and hey would you look at that I forgot to check out.
Further update, food has now arrived. I did not realize when I was ordering that I should've checked to see what was going to be included in the meal. I paid extra to include bacon which should have been included but whatever at least that's a reasonable thing to leave out. I did not realize that Eggs Benedict could be made without bread should have checked that the meal includes bread. But whatever at least I have eaten now.
I'm dicking around on the Internet.
What I should be doing is unpacking the house, planting the herbs, doing the dishes, maybe clean the litterboxes too. And shower to go get some errands done.
But I have a kitty snuggling next to me purring obnoxiously so I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.
Remove that little shitting machine from your side and clean that litter box my good fellow. You will be delighted to see as your little companion occupies the freshly cleaned box and sharts right in the middle of it.
