Every job I’ve ever had has been a soul-sucking, unrewarding time sink. Getting out of bed every day feels physically painful at this point, and my job isn’t even that bad relatively. I get paid $22-28 dollars to basically sit on my ass for 8 hours a day but even that feels excruciating somehow.
I have never held a job for longer than 7 months because it makes me so agitated by the end, like some wild animal in a cage. The idea that people stay at the same position for several years and manage to wake up happy and content even half of the days is absolutely inconceivable to me.
The grimmest part is that everybody I’ve talked to feels the exact same way. We’re all tired, frustrated, downtrodden and burdened with the absurd reality of wage slavery, and the nonexistent retirement that our generation will likely earn at the end of it. Is there anybody out there working blue/white collar work that is actually able to maintain their sanity?
