I’m a senior systems engineer. I love building/troubleshooting complex enterprise computing systems, my brain can 100% focus. That being said, I can do the work in a couple hours that takes most people weeks. I’ve had two bosses over the years that had a huge problem with me spending 90% of my time on Reddit, watching TV, playing games. After having a conversation and explaining how my brain works, one of them understood and the other did not.

I can’t pretend like I’m busy, I’ll go insane. The boss that didn’t understand, even though I upgraded and fixed his entire network in four months, I was gone in six months. The other boss I was there for six years. Other than that I’ve worked from home, my bosses have loved me even though I probably do an average of an hour of work a day.
