I never know what to do with myself when I schedule something at my home, and my social anxiety makes me worried that I’m always going to be judged like this. I don’t have any work because I took the day off for this service. Do I just fuck off and continue gaming while the person is working?
I used to think this way until I considered how they felt. It’s really stressful to have someone breathing down your neck while you work, so I usually just show them where the work area is and answer any questions they have then tell them where I’ll be if they need something.
On the flip side, the only time I’ve judged someone in this situation is a girl who had been sleeping before we came by for maintenance, didn’t answer the door so we let ourselves in (notice given in advance) and she was in the bedroom still half asleep and just awake enough to tell us which rooms were getting worked on for turn. She was literally crawling back into bed and covering herself in a blanket while speaking to us. Wasn’t harsh judgment or anything, more of a “that was a weird interaction.”
I retired at 38 years old (20 years of military service, plus 100% disability got me there) and I pretty much just sit around my house all day now.
I spent 2 decades traveling the world and experiencing an extremely busy, productive life. Now I just wanna sit in my quiet, countryside home and enjoy some peace.
It’s not that I can’t get up and out of the house; I’m not that kind of disabled. I just enjoy focusing on myself for once. Investing in my own hobbies, not being at the beck and call of someone else. No deadlines, no alarms every morning, not worrying about making rent this month or feeding myself. It’s wonderful.
Beyond that…
It’s your life, do whatever makes you feel comfortable. If taking quiet time and just sitting and thinking in your home is good enough for you, fuck the haters, keep doing what you’re doing.
And what if that includes being a degenerate and playing a game nonstop for four days straight? Asking for a friend.
As long as you’re practicing decent hygiene and keeping the place reasonably tidy then fuck it, sounds like a killer long weekend.
I already perfected hygiene awhile ago. Hardly practice it at all anymore.
“These people definitely wouldn’t be doing anything differently if I wasn’t here” uh huh
I mean what else do you expect me to do, the only reason I even have pants on is because a stranger is in my apt doing something.
I peek through a lot of windows each week. You guys would be surprised how many people just sleep in their bed. That’s it. That’s their life.
I used to do location scouting for films, I was surprised at how many people let me into their house and poke around just from knocking on their door with a clipboard of location agreements.
Also, unless they’re going to pay you a lot, don’t agree to be a film set, even the best crews scuff floors and dent walls. Shoot days are a frenzy when you’re trying to jam stuff into the least amount of days feasible
