Current. I work for a small company and wholly manage one portion of the business on my own and the everything I do is technical mumbo jumbo to the owner, so I'm left to do as I please as long as I make money and am helpful to clients and coworkers. Pandemic has really cleared out the office so I work from home 3-4 days a week. The work is complex, but I've done it for long enough that I can smoke weed and listen to podcasts all day long and still do most of my work at a very productive rate.
Being so autonomous has had a dramatic impact on how I see myself, the business environment and even the world at large. Downside is being responsible for so much BS and taking a vacation is such a pain that I rarely string more than 3 vacation days in a row, because juggling my schedule to clear off a week or two is a nightmare
