My family always asks what I do for work. I give general answers, but they want more details. How much do you share with people outside your overemployed bubble?

yup I would generalize too. Also if you've ever felt you could use support for either J1/2 projects, meetings, emails, stories, and communications, I can fully support remotely and provide you summarized daily report. You can focus on what matters the most and run OE the longest.

I find that patterns get noticed by manages and cause burnout.

I really want to get a second job but I am scared of losing my current one. Both companies are in same field, although not direct competitors so I know it’s technically “not allowed” however, this is the only way for me to get that $$ since I am not paid all that well.

Of course I won’t tell a single friend/coworker. Only my partner. And I don’t post work stuff on social media.
