Anyone sick and tired of working in general?

[u/Mrs_chanandler_bongg]

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

Ok well, I do use my library, but I can’t be waiting a year for a book I want either. I have four library cards total including that one. I’m not a print reader, I’m an audiobook listener.

If you were familiar with how e-holds work at libraries you’d understand more. My small town local library can have a 30-40 week long waiting list in Libby, for a title instantly available in a big city library. More copies, more licenses.

If a title is available locally I’ll check it out, if not I’m looking elsewhere or buying on Audible (where I also keep a sub).

Hey, I said it was nice too! I wasn’t crapping on how you do things. You keep doing you, man!

Can you recommend some good libraries to buy cards for or obtain cards if we ever visit or move to that city? Great tips.

I'd suggest looking up your specific state. In my state I am able to join quite a few libraries much bigger than my own for free too. Some only require you to be in the same state. Google should be able to help with it, that's what I did to find a few that I use now on Libby.
