It isn't that I hate my current job, it's actually pretty easy and pays enough. I just don't want to go. I think even if I were offered my dream job paying quadruple what I make now, I still wouldn't want to do it. People tell me to find a job I love, but even if I loved it, I still wouldn't want to do it unless there's some way to get paid for watching TV - not writing reviews, not being in a focus group, just sitting quietly at my house watching TV and interacting with no one.

That scene in Office Space where Peter says if he had a million dollars he would do nothing? That's exactly how I feel. I just want to eat, drink and sit here in my chair watching TV or playing video games until I die.


People sometimes start getting a feeling like this. It can stem from being so worn out even you do the job you like or from something different. I find it totally normal actually. Because people are not robots and they need to rest for enough time to gather energy and be focused again on their job. Besides, I like it being here too and if I were a millionaire or a billionaire, I would just do some bounty works that I find here and be interested in my job as a hobby. But I'm not saying this for not liking my job because I like doing it. I would just want to allocate much more time to different things.
