Is Anyone Done With Working?

I'm so done that you don't even know. I just simply don't want to work anymore. I get out of bed, and spend 30 minutes or so convincing myself that it's going to be an awesome day. I get to work and tell myself I'm going to kill it and do my best. Then I go home at night and think, "That was the biggest f'ing waste of my life ever." Then, I do it all again the next day. I don't hate my job, I just hate working. I don't think there is any job in the world I would be happy doing. I just don't want to have to work or report to anyone ever for any reason anymore.

Does anyone feel the same way, or is it just me?

    I think there are jobs I would enjoy more, but overall, yes, I do the EXACT same thing everyday. Every. freakin. day.

    Same here.... I enjoy my home life way to much ... sick of wasting hours working ... for what a check to pay these over priced bills..... Wish things were simpler in life.... I'm sure I will have to work till the day I die!

    I don't want to work. I just want to bang on the drum all day. For me, it started when I was young. Some times I would take it to the extreme and tell my mom that I didn't want to go to school today, that I would rather just go outside and play.

    My job is pretty innocuous, but I'd rather not be here. At least I've worked here long enough to have earned a fair amount of vacation time.

    Let's just say I definitely work to live, not the reverse.

    I hated my job but then I got laid off. Now I'm finding work as a virtual assistant. Much happier and work on the schedule I want to work instead of someone else's.

    I actually don't hate my job, just don't like the company I work for. I'm looking to take my talents somewhere else and waiting to hear back on a second interview.

    Multiple streams of passive income ftw!

    Only reason I've got a day job is for the dang health insurance.

    Yes...I force myself to leave for work and then I count the minutes until it's time to leave.

    Love what I do, just not the people here.

    I USED to feel that way...
    Then I got a new job and realized how bad my old one sucked.

    The problem is there are SO MANY other things I'd rather be doing and work ... is work. It's just so pointless.

    I have two jobs and work 9-9 Mon-Fri and 12-9 on Saturday so I think I'm kind of in the position where A: I"m getting burnt out and B: I really don't have any personal time so any wasted moments at work feel like a waste of my life period.

    Ah well... five more years to go before I can downsize the job...

    I always found it ironic that retirement came at a time when one could no longer enjoy it in the same way that you can when you're young.

    We're a slave to the machine. Ask Marx.

    I hear ya. I love my company that I work for. I like my job for the most part - espcially the paycheck part but overall I could do w/out working if I could afford it.

    It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.

    Life's too short to feel that way.

    Whoever decided that 40 hours (most of the time more) was an appropriate amount of time each week to work can suck it!! I feel everyday like I am working my life away and for what?! I get home there is barely enough time to cook, clean, work out, watch a little TV or have some me time and I don't even freaking have kids. I try to think everyday of a way around it that is still fair to society but nothing yet. Still sitting here. *sigh*

    I think everyone who pulls 40+ hour weeks feels that way sometimes. I certainly do. I work 10+ hours per day running computer simulations and studying for my qualifying exams (all 5 of them) for my Ph.D. By the time I get home, all the things I need to do like laundry, working in my garden, cleaning up my patio area, etc. never get done because I'm exhausted. I feel like most of the weekday is just one big blur.

    I really enjoy what I do, and it's challenging as heck, but it just wears me out completely. I have no time for my old hobbies anymore. Weekends are spent catching up with housework and laundry. When I finish my doctorate, I'll be doing the same thing but (thankfully) better pay for the next 30 years of my life.
