Sometimes I passive aggressively complain about work from time to time, probably because pop culture and television have conditioned me to believe passive aggressively complaining about work is just the norm. People (family) keep telling me to go find a new job if it's that bad. But I never say it is, because it's not. I'm just exhausted and bitching because that's just what I thought was an average life when I was growing up.
The only issue is a rift between my boss and myself about whether or not performance should outweigh punctuality when determining whether your year end review constitutes a raise (at fucking all) or not.
As you might surmise, I'm losing that battle (unjustly IMO because I am the only shipper, the guy who makes sure every customer gets their product on time, but that's beside the point).
I've sort of given up fighting that battle because I'm just tired. I can live with what I've got, because at least I've got it. Complacency is something I've learned to live with because I have job security and ZERO desire to start over anywhere from square one.
I just don't have the energy to hate what I do, so I'm fine with doing it. I've been exhausted for 5 years and I can't be bothered to care about unattainable prosperity at this point.
But the pay is alright, it's livable. And I've got decent coworkers. A couple of us play D&D every week. Why leave that behind?
Edit I know somebody is gonna say something about the punctuality issue, but I have made clear with my boss that I have a medical condition that makes my mornings… Difficult… It's not currently an issue I can control. I have plans to seek treatment in the near future.
