Doing excel for 9 hours straight is far better than breathing toxic gases inside a damp,badly lit coal mines tho. Juste saying...

Give it time. Those work conditions are getting gradually worse all over again as the internal contradictions intensify.

I'd love to have a job where I get paid to work with excel the whole day. Not kidding.

It's pretty dope, especially when you get to work from home. I'm usually in my pajamas snuggled under a blanket. Much comfier than dress pants in a cubicle.

I never got why people love working from home so much. Home has so many distractions like my PC, my phone, my fridge, etc.

It also helps to just physically seperate my work from my free time. My home is my fortress where no work shall ever be done, a place for resting and wanking.

Also, work was like 90% of my social interaction and the pandemic really did a number on me.

In a cruel twist of fate, I now work almost exclusively from home, a dream for others, a dread for me.

Have you tried walking to and from work every day? It can help you pretend they are different places.

You wake up and do your morning routine, then you walk around the block and start your working day when you reach your home office. Then at the end of the day walk around the block and home to mark the end of your work day.
