I don't care about my job anymore: my boss bores me and constantly tries manipulating me so I work more for the same money, half of my coworkers are morons (the other half are fine), clients are demanding and entitled asses. All I think of is excuses not to work, but I don't have enough stamina to quit and find something else. It's like I'm the main character in office space.

Sometimes I think I should be fired because that would force me to snap out of it and find something I might enjoy, but every job is going to be sh*t like the one I have now. I'm following the path of least resistance.

I work because I need money but I've decided I'm gonna half ass it as much as I can and call in sick as much as I can because what's the effing point? I'm gonna get paid anyways and nothing ever changes: my boss is not going to get rid of his gang of favorites, is always going to believe them over those who want to keep the distance, they're going to get away working less because the boss likes them and I'm the asshole working more for the same money.

Another question: If your work includes dealing with the public, have you noticed how they're increasingly demanding? I don't know if I'm the only one feeling like this. It's like spring brings out the stupid side of people.
