Can you relate?

I very much appreciate being able to earn a living. However, there are times I just don't want to be there.

I don't work within a particularly inspiring work culture and honestly, it drains the life out of me.

Having to commute 3 hours and then spend 8 in silence among people I wish I'd never met is oddly spiritually exhausting.

*I've applied for another job; (my last offer was rescinded due to some arbitrary HR policy) and am awaiting the verdict. I just needed to get this off of my chest.

Aww yes, I can totally relate. My job has been tiresome for a long time. The work itself used to be a rush, exciting, challenging and always varied and I used to be able to make a difference to people's lives. I loved it but it didn't stay that way - changes in how it's run meant that now I have no real say and then some horrible stuff happened.. and it became a living torture.

Things are a bit better at the moment but it's still something I mostly dread and sigh a lot about.

I hope you can escape from there soon

@AnonymouslyYours Yes and no... I am trying to build a whole new career where I will be self-employed so this means I have to stay there while that happens.. I have applied for sme jobs but my main aim it to build a business of my own.
I stayed there this long as I was retraining at the same time
