          You need to invest in a couple of these:

          If it matches, I would suggest changing your user name to something more appropriate?

              I don't agree with that. Part of the point of spending time getting well-educated is having the luxury to find work that is interesting AND pays well, rather than just having to take any old job. Having said that, loads of people enjoy pretty "low skill" jobs... but yes personally I find variety makes a big difference.

                But then you are one weird little chappie with no friends, so work is your only excitement. No?

                  I'd still rather be doing something else, but I don't see work as a relentless drudge.

                    I spent years trying to get Mrs V to surprise me in the Bedroom, she came in with a positive Pee stick and shouted SURPRISE! As we have 2 teenage kids I was looking forward to getting the bathroom back.

                      stressed mainly because I did not think i was doing a good enough job so I would work long hard hours trying to please everyone so I would not get sacked (have missus and 2 kids)

                      anyone hit 40 and had a bit of mid life crisis moment

                      and i just then thought why the fook am i getting stressed about

                      so had a word with myself and now I do not stress pretty much come and go as I please, wfh a day or 2 a week.

                      I realised it was not the job i was in but my attitude to it - do not get me wrong early on a few of the more 'choice d1<kheads' who i work with started trying to make a big deal of it - had a few choice words and they fe<ked off back into the woodwork

                      then had a chat with line manager and one of the directors and they said doing a great job, good to see you have started to be less rushed and more considered in your approach keep it up and things will continue to go well etc

                      so there you go was not the 'job' but my attitude to it
                      Yep suspected heart attack, scary.

                      Cut back, WFH, work my normal hours and don't suffer users.

                      They still pay me and grade me OK so much happier.
