I have had times like that/i usually change jobs. IT shakes it up a little but that lingering feeling of routine meaninglessness can be hard to shake

The real casualty loop is falling into the trap of Produce, Consume. We are manipulated from our first day in kindergarten to expect a reward for "good" behavior which morphs into prostituting ourselves for a paycheck to pay for the products produced by some other wage slave on a work, rest, sleep treadmill for the benefit of a few filthy rich oligarchs.

Yeah. I just think it is because the daily grind is pretty mundane and for most of us we are stuck in it. I'd like to get off the wheel but then what.

I worked at Hertz as a manager of two locations. I would get up shower leave my house a seven and get home at seven. eat and go to bed. I would also work four hours on Saturday and Sunday. I did this for four years. Yes I have felt that way. I quit my job in the spring and worked for a friend this summer. I feel great. I didn't realize how much stress I was under. I gained thirty pound working there. I now in the process of starting my own company. I am free and have lost that thirty pounds.

Sometimes.

Right nowI am trying to break out of it-I have a date tonite lol.
