Anons who are employed, how do you make time for pony?

Anons who are employed... LOL!

>>42342476 (OP)
This is a very cute Rarity I want to pet her and kiss her cheek and smell her snoot

>>42342476 (OP)
I just poni poni on breaks and afterwork.

>>42342476 (OP)
I'm starting to really get into the show now that I'm in my 30 because watching something is the only thing i can do at wirk. But now I wish i got into it when I was still a careless 20yo.

by cutting sleep out of my schedule
>weekday job: work 8:30am-4pm, hangout with gf and watch pony together until about 1-2am, then sleep till 7am the next day
>weekend job (yes i have 2 jobs): work 5:30am-10am or 2pm, shifts vary, then hangout with gf and watch pony together for the rest of the day
days off are for the weak but on the rare occasion i get any, i normally poni

>>42342476 (OP)
I use office time for it.

>>42342476 (OP)
I work out the home.

>>42342476 (OP)
I work out of the home.

>>42342476 (OP)
I set my own schedule more or less, so I have a lot of downtime on some days. I just don't want to poni at the office because I worry about my boss seeing it.

>>42342476 (OP)
It’s not really a problem unless you work a shit ton. Back when that’s all I did and I had maybe an hour and a half of time to myself everyday, I’d still put on ponies every night at bedtime. It’s a bit harder to be involved with the board, because most of it is shit and you need to have the time to go through every stupid fucking thread and find what hidden gems there are to be had, but if all you’ve got is a few minutes out of the day then you can still just pick a thread or three and post there whenever you have a chance. Even a full time job gives you plenty of time to pony though.

>>42342476 (OP)
Go to bed right after work, wake up at 3AM. Now pony is the main part of your day, and work is how you kill time after you're done with pony for the day

>>42342676
This is fucking genius

>>42342476 (OP)
I post ragebait threads/replies here during my shift

My job involves a lot of moving from location to location and has basically zero supervision. There are legitimately days where I have finished calls to locations and not marked them as finished for hours and killed time however I feel like, which includes pony.

I poni after work or during vacations

I don't work

>>42342487

She won't let you

Just tell your coworkers you like ponies and then freely use your work hours alongside pony time

I’m looking at sewing with my free time,
interested in pony plushes, and the skill set i have a little experience in (I sewed a shitty plush during home ec class ages ago)

Weekly ish stream with people i have met at cons, where we what's an episode. Shitposting here, on breaks and when taking a dump on company time. Taking extended weekends when ever there is a con, and then only taking 2 weeks off otherwise let's me attend quite a lot of cons.

I work at a school so I get to do pony projects on the breaks.
The Government pays me like half of my wage to be a NEET every summer so I go back to the school when it re opens in September
I do do pony projects during the work time too but its tough, you look like a retard cross stitching on your lunch break kek.

>>42342476 (OP)
Work/Life Balance.

>>42342476 (OP)
I work 60+ hours a week but much of that time is me being paid to lay around on a bed so I lurk /mlp/ to kill time, occasionally I'll watch a bit of poni on my tablet

>>42342476 (OP)
i get paid for shitposting here

I take hours every day to spend with ponies. Fuck employment. Resist employers. Take every possible avenue to seize power from employers.

I work 7am-3pm. Can poni at work and after work I just get drunk with my roommate and BS. I wish I was involved in the fandom as I once was. My life is pretty shit.

I'm also working about 10 hours a day except for sundays, add commute and it'll end up being 12 hours away from home. So, adding sleep, that's still around 4 hours of free time.
I normally take an hour after coming home from work to sit on my computer and browse my threads, maybe look into the catalog for something interesting, then spend the rest of the day either drawing ponies or playing games with other anons if they're available

>>42344267
>still around 4 hours of free time.
So you don't shower or eat?

>>42342476 (OP)
I get paid time off for religious (pony) reasons.

>>42344284
I'm counting work preparation such as showering and breakfast in the commute, maybe I shouldn't have for clarity, but eh. I don't make lunch because I normally eat out at a cheap place near work. And I normally don't have dinner, it's much more of a bother than it's worth, It's a good way to save up on money too!

>>42342476 (OP)
Bold of you to think I’m employed. Also, I’d be too busy trying to get Zephyr to date Blueblood, and have Rainbow Dash date Soarin.

Do you have a site or samples of your art?

>>42342476 (OP)
Pretty business Rara.
I work from home, usually 8 hours, on a relatively flexible schedule. Sometimes I lurk while waiting for some processes to complete, but given that the job is wearing me out mentally, usually I browse the board right before sleep and after waking up. That's when I'm most able to indulge in ponies, if you know what I'm trying to say. This is the bigger issue for me, not exactly time itself since I could have enough of that available every day, just need to find those moments when I'm also not numb after work.
It's humbling to see that anons with actual real life jobs spend more time at work (transport etc) and are tired out physically, meanwhile here I am complaining just because of silly code monkeys constantly creating pile of silly issues for an infrastructure monkey. I'm glad I have ponies to take the mind off stress and read about them doing cutesy stuff, like in those one-off threads with some background pony highlighted.
>>42342543
>It’s a bit harder to be involved with the board, because most of it is shit and you need to have the time to go through every stupid fucking thread and find what hidden gems there are to be had
Well said. Filters help, but I still feel a bit guilty about not frequenting specific pony generals, at most from time to time I visit one of them and lurk until thread is over.

>>42342476 (OP)
>Phoneposting at work, more like phonelurking
>Occasionally read fics if I have nothing to do
>Listen to pony (and regualar too, I guess) music so I don't have to listen to the fucking radio that's always on
>Back home with my PC, the world is now my oyster
I have a low-stress, low-effort office job. The only reason for me to be tired like I am is because I stay up late poni ponying lol

>>42342476 (OP)
Don't think of it as working for the ponies, but simply work on the side, and live for the ponies. Let the poni influence you to take up other passions and endeavors in life. Write a fanfic, draw some poni, learn to ride horseback, learn to sew, learn to fly, etc. This is what the ponies were always meant for to begin with, to inspire you and help you throughout your life. Don't just find time here and there to indulge in them a little like its a social media app or whatever the fuck, because that's how ponies, and most other fandoms for that matter, have met their downfall. Persistence is the way and community is key, and given how difficult it is to achieve, it's obviously worth it.

working a night shift job in a locked building where 90% of the time there's only one or two other people helps
also I can very easily draw during my breaks as I have been off and on

only downside being during summers I may be stuck around other people for extended periods of time for group tasks

I'm on call so I have a lot of free time. But I also have a ton of paper pushing to do while I wait. But I can do them quickly and fill my thoughts with pony. Or play a quick game.

>>42342476 (OP)
That's easy, OP. Adults know how to manage their time. It's a life skill. You'd have it if you weren't such a fucking NEET. Both the skill and the money to blow $2,500 on plushies.

>>42342476 (OP)
I have pony stickers on my tool box for work, the guys don't care anymore. There's always time for ponies

>>42342476 (OP)
After work. On my days off. It's not that hard.

>>42343756
>laze in bed for 10-20mins snuggling my Luna plush
you too, huh? I set an alarm about half an hour before I actually have to get out of bed just so I can cuddle a bit longer before I have to go to work.
>>42345133
>the guys don't care anymore
>anymore
kek

>>42342476 (OP)
Pretty easy, I just sneak ponies into anything I can. Even if it's subtle. Plus no one said I couldn't just play episodes or listen to poni music in the background, it's comfy.
Besides that I lurk the board when bored or back home and not numbed out by the job.

>>42345297
How do I get back into poni?

>>42342476 (OP)
easy, I do all of my drawing at the office during my off time, and leave my off hours for other adulting things

>>42345408
Jesus, is this all ballpoint pen?

>>42345413
ballpoint and marker, its all I have to work with lol

>>42345408
I kneel, do you post on any boorus/twitter or whatever? I stumble upon your stuff here from time to time and it's always really impressive

>>42345316
I'd say put on any comfy episode, either when going back home after work or in the background throughout your day. If you enjoy it and wanna watch some more, congrats more poni to poniponi to. Else don't beat yourself over it. It's a show after all.

>>42345408
>>42345433
I like your art.

>>42344154
>no one else knows how to do anything
Is this why planes fall from the sky a lot lately?

>>42342476 (OP)
My job involves a lot of driving, so I like to put on poni music and sing along too.
Besides that I have plenty of time for pony when I'm off.

>>42342476 (OP)
I don't. :(

>>42342476 (OP)
I have some free time, from 6PM to like 12AM basically if we count all the other shit you need to do to just be at peace hopefully
in that time I do all kinds of different things. Go out with friends sometimes, or walk alone, shower, replay resident evil games, play fallout games and all other kinds of games that there are, read fallout equestria, browse 4chan/mlp/ mostly, attempt to get better at drawing
If I didn't have any free time at all life would not be worth living

I had a dream to stay a virgin and create my own videogame and do sequels from time to time like Scott Cawthon and just have a lot of free time and money
I guess that turned out to just be a fatasy because I don't actually enjoy doing it
I can think deeper into it and think that maybe my dream was to not become a game dev specifically, but create some cool worlds and characters. I could try being a writer. But I guess before that I need to be better at wording.

>>42344292
Based if true

College student here, still don't wanna think about less time for poniponi in my life soon but the wagielife is coming and is unstoppable

>Don't just find time here and there to indulge in them a little like its a social media app or whatever the fuck, because that's how ponies, and most other fandoms for that matter, have met their downfall.
You are bringing in a very good point, anon, but I had to learn the hard way that it's okay to just lurk ponies, so that I don't feel guilt from not creating anything for them. That made me very miserable, because as you've mentioned, I felt the downfall of poniponi would be imminent if everyone was just lurking, and I - technically with lots of time to spend on ponies - wasn't helping. That's too much to put on one's shoulders, this responsibility needs to be carried by many anons together.
I hope that one day I'll find something I can give them from my heart, not from fear of losing them, but I need to avoid being stressed out by this. So I just lurk almost every day and try to use my remaining brain cells to post a few green words in threads. I'm thankful for anons who do get inspired by poners and create for them, live with them. I guess I'm just not there yet. I hope you understand, anon.

>>42345433

>Teacher, right?
>Any advice for me, who will soon be one?
Hell no I'm retarded!
I work in the schools cafeteria as a dish-pig/ cleanup duty mostly, no High School diploma even needed!
I guess I got one thing but its situational. Look now on how seasonal unemployment works in your country, in mine I could NOT register the first year I worked there but every year since its super easy.
It scares me a future teacher is on 4chan, be careful not to have this shit up on your school wifi connection, use data/ personal hotspot.

>>42346727
it's unironically my dream job, maybe not in a school because kids are annoying but I'd love to be a jannie somewhere, at least for a while, you contribute to society more than 90% of office workers, I hope the pay is good enough to sustain you and all your pony endeavours

>>42346789
I love it! Don't love the "low class work" stigma but I enjoy cleaning grime, getting my hands wet with soapy water, its like meditative after you get in a groove.

>>42345819
No
Yes, most of my job involves unbreaking the shit the unlicensed mexican contractors break while they work on the planes.
Ironically you're safer flying Spirit or Frontier because at least their planes are new, Delta and United have 737s that were flying in the 80's. That's 40+ years of dumbasses working on them versus Spirit who finances a new airliner that has yet to be royally fucked by one of the Hernando Rodriguezes, DaQuan Jeffersons, or Bill Earl Jameses I didn't get a chance to doublecheck the work of.

>>42342676
I unironically do this. It's not even as an alpha grindset thing. I don't work out or trade crypto or anything during the wee small hours. Just read fics and rewatch episodes.

>>42344154
Why do you have management busybodies if you have the AI wagie monitor? Also airports are so liminal space I might be willing to trade places with you.

I used to janny at a courthouse and the people who frequented the place were just awful. A place full of grown fucking adults was messier than any school I've been to.
And a good 75% of my coworkers were snakes and/or borderline retards.

I have heard this too. I used to talk to one of the janitors at my college sometimes. Her building was at the edge of campus, and she said she was lucky that her assignment was the upper floors. College students weren't always clean, but in her opinion they were okay. The janitor for the ground floor, though, had to clean up after people who wandered in from the street. For him, cleaning the floor drain after someone shit in it was a regular thing.

Well I never had to clean shit out of a drain, but once upon a time I saw a fat black lady take a greasy shit on the stairs of one of the side entrances.
Thankfully, I wasn't the one who had to clean it up.
Then there was the roach toilet. That one I had the misfortune of being responsible for.

I used to work in a cinema. People can be disgusting. My motto used to be "If it can be swept, it's a nothingburger", doesn't make much of a difference to sweep a little popcorn or a lot, but it's frustrating to try wiping cheese sauce or salsa off the seats (most of them fabric, not faux leather), or soak up spilled cola seeping into the seats or carpets. Still, it was an everyday occurrence, so was brushing toilets now and then or cleaning the concessions every day. Mopping up vomit was rare, luckily.

The single most disgusting experience happened just outside of the actual cinema building. Somebody walked into our staff-only side entrance and took the nastiest liquid shit on the WALL, it stunk up the whole staircase. It was greenish, oozing down the wall and had a stench so wretched, your knees felt weak. Whoever did that must have been deadly ill and/or drugged up. Out of a handful of wagies, only one person beside me had the strength to approach it, wearing three layers of face masks and gloves, holding our breath yet still choking on the stench. I barely remember how we went about cleaning it, but we did it fast, with lots of paper towels and swinging a bucket of water at the wall to mop up the diluted death. We bathed the area in disinfectant, too. The wagies who were there will never forget.

I don't. I have the first chapter of a fic 90% finished and don't have the energy to finish it. Even if I did it would mean I have to rewatch large swathes of the later seasons to make sure I don't fuck up any of the lore/details for future chapters.
