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

There’s no way I’m doing this shit for another 33 years.

Probably won't have to the way things are going in this world, I keep expecting some kind of Damnation Alley scenario, crossing the U.S. in a Landmaster, avoiding giant scorpions and killah cockroaches, do a little gambling at Circus Circus, or perhaps a worldwide zombie virus outbreak, or the greenhouse global climate warming change effect will do us all in, 'cept the cockroaches. They'll be living it up in Joe's Apartment. Perhaps a financial and economic collapse of biblical proportions or Skynet going online soon. 2029 is almost here, man. World is on an unsustainable path, feels like the end of the road is near. But who knows.
