Another Job to Ruin My Life

I am so frustrated. I got laid off in January, from a job that gave me a lot of extra time. I was salaried, so as long as I finished my work, I was solid. I was also remote, so I was able to make great progress on other passions I had that also made me money. It was such a relaxed job, I really miss it.

I am going to spend 5 days a week doing nothing in an office. I won't have time for my myself anymore. I won't have extra time to pursue my own hobbies. I am going back to a weekend only person.

I guess that's what I get for working in tech during its massive downturn. I got another job. It's a good job. It pays well, I have stellar benefits, and I need it. I just feel so defeated. I am going to spend 5 days a week doing nothing in an office. I won't have time for my myself anymore. I won't have extra time to pursue my own hobbies. I am going back to a weekend only person. It's just so depressing. I hate that I need this job. I hate having to sell my time for money like this. I'm in my 30s, and I feel like I have wasted my life chasing money. No one should be feeling like this. It makes me so angry, I don't even know what to do. I think I am going to try to stick this out as long as I can, and then maybe go back to part-time work. I was happy with part-time work. I didn't feel so trapped.
