Antiwork

feeling crushed slowly by the machine (ramble)

First off I don't even have the excuse that my job sucks. I'm a medical transcriptionist, and it's kinda the chillest job i've ever had. My coworkers are nice, helpful people, my manager is responsible and reasonable. I'm also able to work from home which is a luxury to me. And still there are days I'd rather die than work. Am I just depressed? I work part time (10 hours a week) next to studying full time. I'm falling behind on my studies because I'm so burned out, but I don't feel anywhere nearly as bad on school days. When I'm working, I'm constantly worrying that I'm not doing enough, how much slack there is to pick up, but also I'm stressing over dealines on assignments for uni that I'm not even working towards during the work hours. I want to quit, but then how do I pay the bills,…

Am I just depressed? I work part time (10 hours a week) next to studying full time. I'm falling behind on my studies because I'm so burned out, but I don't feel anywhere nearly as bad on school days. When I'm working, I'm constantly worrying that I'm not doing enough, how much slack there is to pick up, but also I'm stressing over dealines on assignments for uni that I'm not even working towards during the work hours. I want to quit, but then how do I pay the bills, rent etc. I can't take another job that would require even more time from me for what would likely be less pay. As it is I'm worried I'll lose this one just from how badly I've been doing lately.
It's not like I'm great at managing my spare time to get caught up on my studies either. Mostly after I clock out I just try to turn my brain right off. But, thinking I'm just a lazy waster isn't really helping either, so..
