How the hell do normies do the 9 to 5? I cannot handle all that, especially for low wages.
Honestly how can anyone get motivated to work? A recuiter hit me up and it would be the typical 9-5, plus 1 hr commute there and another hour back. I'd take home about $2200 for the month, but spend $100/week in fuel, so I'd bring in about $1800/month. Weekly, that's like only making $450 - or less than $100 per shift. Now this would be fine if I didn't have bills to worry about, but I do. I'd seriously rather stay home. How the hell do normies do it? Last time I did, It took so much time and energy. I struggled to do anything. Putting on a customer service persona all shift is absolutely taxing. Getting up, driving 1 hr there, dealing with a bad environment, etc I was so drained. I'm happier at home being a NEET where I can take care of the house, cook, etc and pursue hobbies. I just can't fathom giving that much again and having hardly any money left over. Ebay pays double when I put in the work, other than JAN - mid march as they are my "slow" months. Family always cries that I have wasted potential, but these interviews and applications recently have been nightmares. Ideally, a part time job, or any local job, or commuting to a better paying one would work as options- but can't get hired for any of those. It's all meh pay for 1+hr commute. I just need to ride out the slow sales season and get by though. Family constantly puts me down mentioning teaching /counseling as paths for me - but school isn't something I could handle right now and honestly the thing is i just do NOT want to work. It's always been some type of exploitation whether through a toxic place or just pay that's very low. The whole getting "expierinece" thing has not worked for me either no one even reads your resume anymore. All of my friends and family who are normies are all miserable at their jobs. They're machinist, rns, vet techs, counselors, accountants, and teachers. Super stressed, under staffed, and not much free time to actually enjoy their money. Many are in the process of switching careers or starting the back to school route. My nurse friend literally cries before and after her shifts as it's that bad. My teacher friend is so overworked and busy even at home, she has no time off and the kids and parents are very disrespectful to her. I'm so tired of it. People don't get to really embrace their hobbies or creative sides, with these 9 to 5s if you have to commute. It's a shame. Even these applications and interviews have me stressing. Extra cash would be great especially as it's my slow sales season, but I just cannot get motivated to deal with all the hassle of interviewing and commuting and all that! Would rather stay broke at home with my pets and free time.1
