    I'm definitely not myself in this place. I'm like a machine. I'm basically on auto pilot all the time.
    I can't motivate myself or get excited about anything. It's like I have no emotion when I'm here yet as soon as I'm home I'll think to myself why can't I feel like this in work.

    I mean I don't expect to it feel like a holiday, but I just can't even be alert.

    Do a lot of people experience this in work?

    I hate my job. I get paid a poor wage for what my position is, to do something that I dont know, that nobody else can help me or understand.

    I get to be evil and have some authority, it compensates for the crap money.

    Great, I'll take your job so. Mind numbing is easy to tolerate for me, I worked in call centers for ten years.

    All jobs have their boring, repetitive elements.
