To be honest, I’d just be happy I could smoke cigarettes again.
Would depend on the person.
When Hawaii got the ballistic missile alert a few years ago, it was essentially a test of this scenario and people went both ways.
Orgy time.
No. I like to work. Or at least I like to create things, which work is at least correlated to on an average day.
Also all the things I made being broken would make me sad. I want them to thrive and be useful to people. Or at least bring them joy.
yeah, my self preservation would outweigh it (despite the many suicide “jokes” I “like to” tell)
Tbh I feel like I would still have to go to work tommorow.
Fear? I would be happy it’s going to be all over!
“If the world was ending you’d come over, right?”
Seriously though I think you need to look for ways of changing your workplace if it’s possible. We probably only have one life.
I’m in a good place at work. I just want to be exploring my creativity. Unfortunately, that will never pay as much.
Do you need it to pay as much? I hope that someday you get to have as much creativity in your life as you want, friend. And that it’s not only at the end of the world.
Just trying to survive, and god forbid thrive, out here
I hear ya.
Glad you’re okay, the original post was giving Melancholia vibes.
They say to never do what you love for work or it’ll become a chore. Make time to be creative, even if it’s only one weekend a month, it’ll refill the creative juices and balance out the balance
They also say to do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life. They say lots of things, many of them contradictory.
I think your advice of intentionally setting aside time is wise, though. I believe that too often we take for granted that things will just happen, and also overestimate the chilling effect of “not being spontaneous”.
I didn’t say I wanted to do it for work. I just would rather be doing it. Even in the case it made me money it wouldn’t be enough.
Man, my only fear would be regarding any suffering involved in this ending and my relief would be that the whole humanity thing is ending
I think I would be happy. And just relax.

Everything ending would definitely outweigh not having to go to work. Outweighing in the sense it’s so much more calming lol
OP, you sound like you need to talk to someone. Not on the internet. In real life.
Luckily the 9 to 5 mentality has already changed a bit after the Covid-19 pandemic :-)
Yeah, every hour is a working hour! Every space is a workplace! I’ve even switched to ignoring days of the week. I can work whatever days would be best!
It’s been pretty great honestly. I can work or take time off as needed.
That’s cool.
