Antiwork

Have a great job with good pay and a good boss, still don’t like it but don’t feel like I’ll find something better.

I don't even know what I'm looking for our of this post, but I needed to post it. ​ For the past year, I've been working the best paying job I've ever had, with the best boss I've ever had. I used to work for landlords, now I work in an office and estimate construction projects. Great boss, basically lets you take as many paid sick days as you want, doesn't care how you get your work done as long as it's done. I don't feel abused or taken advantage of. I like my co-workers and don't feel like the work I do supports some evil, oppressive company or billionaire. Making $25/hr, which is mostly a living wage for me (I'll never be out from under debt, but whatever).

Making $25/hr, which is mostly a living wage for me (I'll never be out from under debt, but whatever). The only reason it isn't is because me and my partner got a new apartment when she got a new job making 3x what I did, but she recently got laid off and hasn't found anything new.

Despite all of this, I'm just not happy working there. I don't want to come into work, I come home drained and exhausted. It's a good place, it's just not for me.

I'd look into leaving, but I don't think I could ever find something this good again. As much as some different work might help my mental health, being deeper in debt or under another bad boss would hurt it worse than staying here.

Am I just being whiny and ungrateful here?
