"9-5" type workers, do you ever wonder wtf is the point of your life?

[Thelostbrah64]

I know these feels all too well OP.

I am a student actuary and just finished a 7 mth placement there.
BRB introverted job doing coding running model
BRB press a button and wait for hours doing nothing looking at a screen.
BRB no passion
BRB not fulfilling at all
BRB thoughts on becoming a cool maths teacher.

I felt these feels everyday. My life will only become this
.nnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Say it aint so OP.

[midcoastking33]

Honestly if I can find a job where I only need to work 3-4 days a week that only pays 30-40k I'd take that over 40+ hours for way more money

[GenericBro]

more to life than money.

most people (myself included at times) get blinded by "things". it's important to consider the "big picture" of life (could be faith/religion, could be fulfilling personal goals/dreams, etc).

good luck, pls stay safe

[TheJediBrah]

i don't work a 9-5 job but i have an internship that's along the same lines. hardest part is waking up lol. and not being paid. -.-

lol wtf

what has to go wrong in your life to do that

[SmarterChild]

I'd rather work a 9-5 than an 8-430

Dat extra sleep

But I hate my job. Sitting in a "power group" (4 person cubicle) talking about the same chit everyday

92% sure I'm going back to school in the fall

[santal0l]

yeah...thats why all doctors work in free clinics

what does that have to do with anything? You think that just because they like what they do, they should do it for free?

brb paying bills with "feels"

[VaiKing]

8-7 reporting in

brb no cubicle
brb i like what I do
brb i laugh and talk different topics with coworkers
brb i earn a decent living
brb weeks are long and painful, but i YOLO on week-ends hardcore

[DONTeatmybacon]

I enjoy my 7-3 lol

wake up get on my bike, ride to work
misc
write a few emails
misc
poop
lunch while miscing
building report
poop
some more emails
get back on my bike and ride home

same but 9-6.

get a motorcycle opie. makes commute to work/part of your day better.

also, if you fuark up and die, no more 9-5 misery.

[woodzyspl]

LOL 9-5 would suck..


wake up 5.30am
eat breakfast watch news leave home 6.30
start work 7
break at 10.30-11
work till 2.30 go home
no traffic as everyone is doing 9-5
get home by 3 go gym
get home by 5.30 from gym do what ever i want, go to bed at about 10-10.30





not too bad of a life.. a lot time ill finish gym and go work on cars at mates house or take some sloot to dinner..

[deaman]

We just have to realize that life for 99% of us is one big dose of humble pie and emasculation after the age of 25-30.

Exist to pay bills
Exist to appease girlfriend/wife
Exist to serve kids
Sacrifice health and happiness to keep job because everything else depends on it.
Every so often get a glimpse of the hope you once had when you were young and possibilities seemed open and endless.

Essentially work=life except for a couple weeks a year when you travel/vacation and glimpse the world you are missing, a world you are destined to be a stranger to.

That said, outlook is everything. And my outlook is **** today.

[robreynolds1234]

Yeah it does get boring and repetitive, but then how else to find purpose in life? What to do with so much free time?

[DarkOmen]

[most] Docs become docs because they enjoy the chit they do. Not for the money. For the amount of money you have to spend to become a doctor, and the amount of time you put in getting there, only to put in tons of more time afterwards, it's not really great from a financial standpoint.

edit: just saw the md2014 in your sig, gjdm!

Since you're about to start medschool you will read about many articles that state that doctors do their job for 3 main reasons: 1) helping people 2) money and 3) prestige. It's been documented and many articles explain this.

Edit: don't get me wrong medicine is a wonderful field and career and I love helping people. But know that I started medschool at age 19 and I'm about to finish it at 24 and then start residency and finish at 29-30. Most of my friends spent their 20s partying an getting drunk and banging sloot while I focused on studies and gym mostly and had to sacrifice more than the average guy. So at the end of the day I see how making 400K and + could be important to someone.

[squeak419]

9-5er checking in...

I don't mind it... Good money, means I have a schedule and a routine.

8AM get up and get ready for work
9-5PM work with 30 minutes for lunch
5:30-7pm - Gym (3x a week)

Then tea, a little chill time before bed at 10-11pm.

5x a week, I have ZERO work I have to take home and no work on weekends. Then the weekend is where all the fun is at, I have a huge list of hobbies which I regularly do.

Would prefer to win the lottery and do whatever the fuk I want, but that isn't realistic.

Try to focus on the other 16 hours bro...

[Swizzard]

wake up, get ready and put on your stupid button up shirt and dress pants
sit in traffic with the rest of the 9-5 drones
arrive at office. Say hi to your pathetic camry-driving, boring, mediocre coworkers.
Look at them in disgust. Imagine how they sit here and work all day just to pay their bills and send their kids to school
Go to your cubicle, turn on the computer and get started on your meaningless work
brb coffee break
brb more work
brb go to the same damn restaurants for lunch every day
brb more work
drive home sitting in traffic with the rest of the 9-5 *******s
Get home tired as f*ck and eat pre-workout meal
Muster up the energy to go lift
come home eat dinner and shower
misc and sleep
Wake up and do THE SAME F*CKING SH*T AS THE DAY BEFORE


brb, you look back and realize your youth is gone and you will live out the rest of your days like this.

Every day I wonder what's the point of even living life like this. Who knows these feels?

Everyday, brah. Everyday. I love my company, i've been treated well and have great benefits. But there's no personal fulfillment/satisfaction. Just seems like 40hrs of busy work every week. Making no real difference or impact. I'm just here.

[cheezile]

yeah think about how much better it will be once you put in work. it sucks but if you have a goal that you're working towards it will make it much easier.

[TheJediBrah]

what does that have to do with anything? You think that just because they like what they do, they should do it for free?

brb paying bills with "feels"

not sure if trolling or doesn't know what free clinic is

[Tweedurr]

Been living the 9-5 life for six months now, fuark I wanna kill myself. Can't wait to go back to school.

I'm on year #9. As long as I don't end each day with a gun in my mouth I call it a win.

[SmashR]

It's easier when one actually likes their job

[retiredrunner]

Imagine living life as a prehistoric hunter-gatherer, covered in dust and flies every waking moment of your life, sifting through mammal dung to track, facing the possibility of an impromptu lion attack out of long grass (which is everywhere) while all you're trying to do is not succumb to starvation... your very rare instances of sheer bliss coming from finding an ungulate carcass which hasn't yet been infused with maggots and rot...

So yeah, it could be worse

what do u do

[neowolfe]

i would kill for a 9-5 desk job..

[Lendogg]

know that feel brah... luckily its only an internship...

Interns= bitch work

[fuelnerd]

it could be worst - be happy your not working at costco or something (no offense to those that do)

my plan is to save up enough to have around 20 motorcycles that I'm always flipping.... I think i'll be happy if I reach that point and still working 9-5.

Hard to save up when one of my paychecks goes to rent though...

[jamesbwbevis]

OP is right, being unemployed and hopeless is so much better brahs

[syddbrahh]

Self employed brah checkin in 6-2 all day err day and Friday's are 6-12:30

[manmore350]

- oh god this feel
- 3 years past smashed like 6 mediocre looking girls
- college years smashed tons of hot girls, dating lots of beautiful girls, etc
- no opportunities to meet cute young girls in all facets of life
- too tired to explore hobbies after work, used to have so many hobbies
- go to bed at 10 every night, have around 3 hours to myself everynight
- do not have as many friends as in college - everyone busy working
- feel like im in my 40s
- i lift, yet wear work clothing 24/5 no one notices gains

[SmarterChild]

[Thelostbrah64]

Not luckily because I hated it, and it only get harder, more stressful and more lonely for me.

This job does not suit me one bit.
