Rec | A PHYSICALLY, NOT MENTALLY, EXHAUSTING DAY AT WORK

a physically, not mentally, exhausting day at work

This time last year I was working a remote tech sales job and sat at a desk all day riddled with anxiety over dumb fake meetings and linkedin messages. Today at work I walked over 9 miles, washed over 1,000 glasses, carried innumerable cases of wine on my shoulder, broke down 50+ cardboard boxes, filled an entire dumpster on my own with five trips in a golf cart, scraped hot brie out of a recycling bin, and had to take care of a dead robin all within 7 hours. I am absolutely zonked but my brain is blissfully empty.

this is only furthering my conviction that I need to leave my mentally debilitating desk job and do work that puts me in my body

@ROYALLMONARCH there are many ups and downs to both, i think the ideal balance is a mix of the two so maybe two part time jobs? i’m trying to get a bookkeeping job on the side for more money and less exhaustion. but with part time you miss the luxuries of healthcare and PTO… the woes capitalism, as y know. you’re young you have time to figure it the balance!!
