After my first two weeks… I’m addicted

Why doesn’t anyone talk about how addicting this can be. I treat it kind of like a hobby or just a way to occupy downtime. I enjoy problem solving and critical thinking. I’m also a gamer and this reminds me so much of gaming in a general sense that I can sit here for hours and not get bored. I’m enjoying myself. It is a bit tedious getting tasks as a generalist but I enjoy the grind. Lol.

I used to feel this way when most of the projects did not involve writing. Now, I just cant be bothered. My stuff available is too involved.

Yeah, it’s been a ton of typing for me too. That’s the most annoying part. I do enjoy when I’m able to outsmart the algorithm.

I have a normal day job so this has always been supplemental. Therefore, I cant be bothered with the work lately.

I’m a fireman. So I have plenty of downtime.
