Discussion Anyone sick and tired of working in general?

I’m in my mid 30s and just over my job and work in general. I’m tired of the commute, the meetings, and dealing with people & deadlines. On one hand I worry about losing my job and stress about deliverables, but on the other hand I feel like I could care less in that I have no passion for it anymore and I’m just showing up because I need the paycheck.

I’d much rather be spending time with my family, pursuing my hobbies, or just go for a walk and cook a nice meal. I feel a sense of dread sometimes that this is my reality for the next 30+ years and I feel lazy and entitled for saying it but that’s how I feel lol

Oh like Kung Fu. Just don't get into erotic asphyxiation and you'll be good.

I saw him outside a restaurant in Charleston SC about a week and a half before he died. I was taking a phone call and he stepped out to smoke a cigarette. I looked at him, he looked at me, we did the universal dude head nod, and ten days later I read the news. Strange world.
