Antiwork

I'm a mid 20s female. Most people my age know how to use computers. Knowing how to send an email is NOT A SKILL and will not make me stand out from other applicants WHO ALSO KNOW HOW TO USE COMPUTERS. My parents are idiot boomers who didn't even finish school. They don't know how to text or use the internet. My mother is an only child and inherited her parents' home at a young age and my father got a settlement years ago after getting injured at his factory job—he now lives on disability because his back hurts.

They want me to work a full 7 days and put in around 50-55hrs of work this week, with 10 hours happening friday and coming back to work 1AM that night until about 5am. They want me to 'take a nap' saturday and continue working. If I don't continue working Saturday, I'm going to have to only take Sunday and half Monday off. After working for 7 days a week, I'l get 1.5 days off. These overnight shifts are some of the most physically demanding things I've ever experienced, not to mention Friday will be a full 10 hours…

I wish I was like the people at work around me enjoying their day and feeling passionate about what they do, it seems easier like going on work every day and actually wanting that. Not just doing it for the paycheck and waiting the day to end, each day for 4 weeks for 12 month by year.
