I Have Allowed Myself To Become A Victim To My Day Job For Years
And it took Covid to open my eyes that I need a change
I needed to take a week off of work.
After being sick for days, I still needed rest. My wife was a few days behind me with Covid and she needed rest.
But… but, my workload was looming from my home office. I could feel it pulling at me. I knew no one was working my claims. I knew everything that I hadn’t done would be sitting there screaming at me. Hundreds of people, pissed off because no one did anything for them.
I wanted to go back to work.
Not because I love my job, but because I’ve become a slave to it. The oppression of the work was tugging at the chain it had around my peace of mind. And I was all too willing to answer.
I’ve become a slave to this terrible job. I hate it, but I still feel like I have to work it. It’s the dumbest thing in the world. I never thought I would become one of those people stuck in a job I hate. But that’s exactly what happened over the last eight years.
But, I’m not going to stay like this.
I’m going to quit this year. I’m going to do something else and move on. It’s going to be a path of self-discovery again, but I can’t keep living…
