I don’t know how people can do the same job for decades. I have a cycle where I get a job, the latest one is an engineering tech position, and I do great for around 5 years. I’ve done this with two jobs prior to this one. I’m smart, outgoing and efficient. I get good supervisor reviews and raises. But usually around that time I hit my pinnacle of boredom that has been building for a few years. Everyday seems worse than the last to the point where my mental and physical health starts to deteriorate. I It’s the same thing over and over, everyday. The same drive, the same desk, the same people, the same problems. Another 30+ years of this makes me shudder. I get to the point of rationalizing homelessness. I feel doomed to repeat this cycle for the rest of my life. I just feel like people weren’t meant to live like this. End Rant. I needed to put that out there somewhere.
