work is the curse of the working class

[kindkit]

Today was my first day back at work after my week off, and UGH. I'm now painfully aware of how much it grinds me down having to deal with people all day. (And today wasn't even that people-focused.) I'm feeling a burst of unwarranted nostalgia for the old data-entry temp jobs I used to do, where I'd just sit in a cubicle all day, typing in data and listening to the radio through headphones. I never had to talk to anybody!

What really irks me is that it sucks away all the energy I might otherwise have to socialize when I'm not at work. *looks at all the Meetup groups I have never once attended*

Oof. People can be difficult, and that's unfortunate when you have to deal with them and you don't want to.

People really are draining, lol. Even on great shifts at my serving jobs, I'm still very mentally tired when I finally get home ;w; Hope you're able to rest up!
