There were shadowy conspiracists lurking in the dark alleys of Washington, and hiding from the glaring sun in the High Desert of California, but they were laughably easy prey when the Martian lizard people, the subterranean Vril-empowered mole-men, and the globalist pedophile Commies did show up.

    When you do more than necessary, one or more of the following will happen:

    • Your coworkers stop doing their most unpleasant tasks, knowing you’ll pick up the slack.
    • Your more ambitious coworkers start sabotaging you, viewing you as a rival to the next higher position.
    • Your less ambitious coworkers start sabotaging you, cause your effort shines a light on how little they get done.
    • Your boss notices unrest in his team and boots you to restore the peace.

    Free career advice: Do the average team member’s amount of the assigned work.
    If you have the time and motivation to do more, use that to improve your efficiency through automation, self-study, researching methods that reduce friction, etc. If you’re in a job that lend itself to automation, you will at some point be able to spend most of your time for studying.
    Share your new tools with the team to help them.
    When you feel limited by your role, apply somewhere else with your new skills.









  • I eventually gave up trying to make myself exercise every day.
    But I am fortunate enough that I could chose to live within cycling distance of my work.
    Now I bike to work every day, which is technically transportation, not exercise, so I don’t mind it.
    This summer I’m going to move into an apartment 11 miles from work. I’m really looking forward to it.
