If you automated 95% of your job, but still had to report to an office/cubicle, what would you do with your (40hrs)time? (piefed.social)

A general question that happens to be my predicament at current. I'm a general safety admin/manager that has automated most of my tasks(emails/excel sheets)

Most days I doomscroll fediverse and lurk irc/matrix channels on the work desktop but am curious about more practical or useful things I should be doing instead. It's looking like this will be my life for a good while since job market is abysmal and promotions are hyperstagnate(have also hit a wall in improving my scripts). If anyone has any similar experiences, please share and advise, as I feel quite lost and trapped :/

Spend it all trying to look busy.

But actually, I'd take online courses in something you have interest (learn a new language?) or something you just want to know better (networking? programming?)

Or maybe I'd start developing something for myself. You know that dream app you always wanted but doesn't exist yet? Maybe you can create it?

Or maybe I'd take a look at the currently open issues for the FOSS stuff I use and try to familiarize myself with the code base enough that I can start submitting bug fixes
