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*I've applied for another job; (my last offer was rescinded due to some arbitrary HR policy) and am awaiting the verdict.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

6 hours driving every day? [3 there - 3 home]
I never would have taken the job.
That's a deal breaker for me.

I'm spoiled though. It takes about 15 minutes for me to get to work. And most of it through a National Forest - and it's gorgeous every day.

Oh, no, just 1.5 hr to and fro, which isn't exactly much better but not quite as bad.

It originally was a 15 minute commute.

Then I moved for the job that ultimately got rescinded before I completed all orientation tasks.

(Thankfully, I hadn't quit this one... as I was just about to.)@Budwick
