This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I used to fall asleep at my data entry job and they would always get mad at me. I kept telling them it's just to boring. Then they moved me to another job which was qa testing software. I enjoyed that.

There was a Family Ties episode (or was it Growing Pains?) where the girl gets a job doing data entry and brings up a flaw in the logic of what she's transcribing. The supervisor immediately contacts the author who personally comes down to thank her for pointing it out and she gets promoted for being so smart.

Exactly how the world works lol

I actually did end up getting promoted from that for good preformance. I had very high accuracy I just fell asleep everyday.

QA tester it was much more dynamic and so my preformance increased as I was able to focus and I moved to the it support team but I left after a change in management put an absolute boomer terrorist in charge of IT.
