Fix the elevator so that the Close Doors button actually does something. Also reward people for pressing the button multiple times - if you pressed the button outside the elevator 98 times and somebody on a different floor presses it 97 times, then it stops at your floor first (I probably shouldn’t have told those people that this already happens).

  • Napping - professional cuddler

  • Not working - Twitch streamer

  • Quilting - Quitch streamer (Quitch is the new platform you will build in order to stream your quilting activities and get people to ‘sub’ and ‘gift’ other subs so other people can watch you talk your way through quilting choices and executions.)

  • Chatting online with actuaries about non-actuarial topics - paid mod for GoActuary

  • Pensions - YouTube blog where you explain what pensions are and have people call in asking questions about their pension and why it’s not going up like they expect it to.

  • Not consulting - naturally

  • My kids - social media exploitation; video everything your kid does, post it on Facebook and Instagram, and pray that something goes viral so you can become an ‘influencer’ [shill] for blue jeans and dishwasher detergent

  • Binging tv - Start a ‘classic tv rewatch’ blog; set yourself up with a schedule where you watch 5 different old sitcoms on Monday, then write about your experience on your blog. Tuesday you watch 5 other old sitcoms, Wednesday and Thursday are dramas, Friday is back to sitcoms. The big thing is that you only watch one episode of each show each week, and give yourself ‘seasons’, so you don’t actually do like a whole season of Cheers in two weeks. Nobody wants that.
    Host on Substack or Patreon for the $$.

That’s because you’ll be paid in Canadian dollars now, instead of American dollars.

Semi serious answer, try to better understand exactly what stresses you out in your current role, look for a role with less of that, or, if you’re like me, give fewer shits what people think of you in your current role, and hopefully be less stressed about it.

Less serious answer, just farm your work out to gpt 4 until someone notices, spend the free time quilting
