I used to do freight packing which was fun, but then i got moved to a horrible position temporarily until i can catch up on the work (that they’re too cheap to staff someone else to do.)
All i do is put parts in a machine, wait 30 seconds, pack them, repeat. All day. It’s been a month.
Those 30 seconds feel like 12 hours, but itstoo short of a time to sit down between parts. The job was designed for someone who works at a slower pace, but that is NOT me. I blow through it so fast that i have to wait, but i’m working as slow as i mentally can handle.
I am mentally dying. I am not even aware of my surroundings half the time. How can i push through this?
I think i’ve listened to every album there is, so i’ve moved to youtube commentaries, but i zone out so hard i don’t even listen to it half the time
I can’t quit because it’s pretty much the highest paying job out there for someone with no diploma, and i can usually afford to pay bills AND eat. I’ve come close to it though.
P.S. are there any interesting youtube commentary, history, or science series with LOTS videos an hour or longer that you guys recommend. Documentaries work too but i hate true crime. Doesn’t have to be work appropriate because we can use airpods.
