    Get a job you like.

    People get into a trap where they think that all jobs are the same.

    I used to think I hated working, and then lucked into a job that actually used my skills and talents.

    A job that makes person A happy might be completely wrong for someone else.

      Solid advice! I’ve never regretted more coffee or a good lunch. Maybe a walk outside if the weather’s nice.

    Look into the mirror and slap yourself, murmurring “I want this, I WANT this”. Then play a soft soulful version of we’re not gonna take it and then proceed to work whilst taking it

    One of the silver-linings of the whole COVID thing is that we finally got to WFH. When the pressure to return to the office started, I was among the first to volunteer to come in 3 days a week and chose Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. This arrangement has remained and I’ve gotta say, WFH on Mondays really takes the edge off. I feel productive (sort of), yet the week feels less jarring when kicking it off from my own house.

    Keep busy, not that it’s a choice mostly. But I don’t need to make it “bearable”. It’s a day like any other.
