This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Man, I recently quit IT and went back to school and became an electrician. Couldn't be any happier rn
I'm in cybersecurity and being a heat pump technician is starting to sound very appealing. Can't seem to convince my younger brother tho. Guess we all gotta make our mistakes before we can learn.
I consider leaving cyber and becoming a barista on a daily basis
Do it, I left IT to become a chef. The pay is less but I feel so much better about my job. Theres a huge difference doing something that actually benefits people (making good food for people was my path, it doesn't have to be cooking specifically) rather than slaving away for a corporation's benefit. It's awesome when you go out and see people enjoying what you did
YES! This perfectly describes my current feeling about my job!
My CISO has been trying to recruit me for year to his department, but I haven't got the mental health to spare for the cybers.
