I have a desk job where I’ll legit sit for 9hrs each day. I used to have hobbies on the computer, like video editing, writing code for side projects, sketching out app ideas. Lately I can’t stand to be at my desk anymore after work. Been watching too much tv instead. More so seems like it’s due to being in the same location for so many hrs each day. Interested in hearing thoughts about separating work desk from personal desk, and other hobbies you picked up to get away from the screen

I am based out of one office but my office put me to work for another office when I joined Of course I got to know the people there and bonded with them. They helped and trained me.

I don’t speak badly of my office but I’m not going to speak badly of the other office that made me feel welcomed… I kind of feel left out and chewed on both ends. How do I navigate?
