Slave for $8.125 an hour matrix job

Come back home, hungry, exhausted

5:50 pm
Finished eating, take a break

6:10 pm
Finished taking a break, time to start working on my side project

8:00 pm
Feeling exhaustion and stunned, as if i got hit by a flashbang grenade

9:00 pm
Exhaustion exponentially increased. Yawning. Eyes barely open. Extreme tiredness. Head movement started producing motion blur. Body just wants to shut down and sleep

10:00 pm
Start losing concentration while coding my side project. Start making stupid beginner bugs that i fail to debug

11:00pm
By this time i am barely functional so i have to go to bed. Sleep and repeat all of this bullshit every day

---

Is....this...the life thats awaiting me for the rest of my life if i dont earn millions asap? If so then i dont want it. I reject this type of life like satan rejects cross. I do not want to be a part of this clownery.

REALISTICALLY getting 2 hours per day of optimized time and energy to work on my project, is not enough. Even 8 hours a day is not enough. I need full time work on my project. Thats how valuable it is.

This job is draining me. I feel like i signed a contract with the devil to drain my soul. Fuck. Seems like all contracts we sign is the same shit as selling our soul for money? WTF think about this bullshit! Celebrities seem to be the smartest then. They sign contracts to perform satan rituals in exchange for MILLIONS of dollars while we sign a contract to work for satan and get paid $8.125 an hour like fucking losers.

I cant believe nobody warned me about this satanic society since i was a little kid

    nah, that's the life that awaits you because you care too much about money.

    also, if your "project" is actually that valuable - just quit and go all-in.

    @tosensei thats what i was already doing. I went all in until this company contacted me on linkedin to offer me a job. Expecting to get rejected for 700th time i instead got accepted. Not wanting to get a job i got a job. Luck in bad luck

    you do realise that you will have other different jobs in the future? i work 8am-4pm fully remote, leaving me with 6-7 free hours every day, you can too. maybe not right now, but the opportunities are out there.

    You could just get up with a single alarm to gain 45 minutes more sleep or do literally anything else than wasting time

    @devRancid if i do that then I'd be stunned, hit by a flashbang grenade every morning. While i am physically awake and moving my brain would be sleeping. I'd probably forget something on my way to the office. I' be just a walking dead. I need at least 30 min to break the sleep by torturing myself (i am a masochist who grew up by punishing/hurting self in order to force self to do what i dont enjoy)

    Well, my life as an apprentice:

    0630 get up & eat
    0700 leave
    0800 arrive at work
    1200 eat food ($$)
    1300 back to work
    1700 go back home
    1800 arrive home, deal with life shit
    2000 free time and 0 energy
    2300 sleep
    GOTO 0630

    Get paid 500€ a month. With rent & transport you have about -100€ left. Eat rice+beans?

    Things are much better now..

    ??:?? till ??:??: anxiety mixed with work

    22:00: sleep

    don't we all do that?

    The pay is different depending on the armpit of the world we live in, but the routine is pretty much the same. It's tiring. But it pays the bills and, if you do it right, you get to have fun through the day.

    Also, since this is your first job, you're building a portfolio -- low-paid job is OK. My first IT job was also in a huge bank and I was paid 700€/mo (that's what, 700/(8*20)~4€/hr?). These were great times because I had fun and I've gained lots of skills there that make me superior to my colleagues in several aspects in my current workplace.

    Now I have my primary job and a side hustle that pays 7+x better (with the prospect of a client that would pay ~15+x my first salary); + my current employer's salary. All because I bit the bullet and focused on shaping my skills in my early days rather than money and the unfairness of the corps and the world in general

    Point is, sit this one out, learn and grow your brain-muscles. It's a phase.

    @kiki Sounds strangely familiar. But where do I get those magic pills that let me sleep at a regular time?

    @saucyatom my pills do slow me down, as they're designed to do so. Sleep, though… it's complicated. After I take them, I'll become really sleepy in about 20 minutes. BUT, if I miss it and stay awake, the sleepiness disappears, and I'm stuck in an involuntary quirksmode when I'm emotionally tired but physiologically active. That's Lamotrigine + Quetiapine combo for ya.

    If you want sleepy pills that are over-the-counter, consider melatonin supplements, or using anti-allergy pills off-label to exploit their sleepiness side effect. I do the latter when I miss the sleep timing.
