It's okay even fun at first, but eats your soul slowly over the years. Edit: that ofcourse depends on perspective e.g. what you are doing at the moment. I myself moved from an abusive job to a cozy corporate one, it seemed like heaven at first.

Think of it that way: those nice people are sending you money every month and all you have to do is go there and look busy. Certainly not the most rewarding way to spend your day but having money is nice.

My thing is, as long as I'm not bored at work I'm good. If I'm being paid to look busy but can't keep myself busy I'm going to feel like my brains are boiling away. But if I can actually keep myself entertained and busy and get paid for it? Hell yeah!

Just when you can't take any more; donuts in the break room!
