I can read fine, I’ve taken up writing, and I do most of my online-doable chores & blog reading. And reply to LW posts. ;) I suppose it depends on your office but mine is cool.
When I’m actually working it’s a lot of number juggling on spreadsheets, pulling data from databases, and tracking down where money went and why it wasn’t entered into our system the way it was supposed to be. About half of it requires little enough concentration that I can listen to podcasts while doing it. The other half takes actual mental effort.
The pay right now—yeah. Starting pay is lower, I’ve been in the game for a while. And it depends on how you live. After bonus I make aprox 66k/year, which isn’t spectacular, but is more than enough for me, and seems fair based on how much free time I get at work. I’ve had to start investing my money, because it was piling up and doing nothing.
