I just know that everyone thinks I'm a freak weirdo because I am not a normie.

Your bosses will notice you aren't a degenerate normie who spends all day on Facebook and going on Starbucks runs. You will be punctual, productive, and low liability. After you've proved yourself for 12-24 months you will be promoted. If you have an actual boss, or managers, soon enough you'll stand out for being a truly decent employee. I know the feel anon. Stay true. Or, shoot the entire place up- take your pick.

lol don't forget the morning routine which adds another 1-1.5 hours to the whole fucking thing, along with every other activity you do after work like putting gas so you can go to work or buying a new shirt that you can wear to work. It never ends, anon.

I can't live this way...

>>2054955
I feel that in spades.
Just landed an underwriting gig at a p good insurance company.
I'm not stoked or anything, but the salary is more than most of my friends out of college are making.
I can't really be upset about that, just gonna squirrel a lot of it away and invest.
Best case scenario? Alts like GNT turn out not to be a scam and I retire at 35 with almost a mil.
Worst case scenario? I take all my shit out at 50, tour the world, then blow my brains out.
No prob.

>Live 5 minutes from my office
>Show up 30 minutes late everyday anyway - no one cares
>Drive home and take an 1.5 hour lunch break
>Leave at 4:30 and have the evening to myself
Move closer to work, nigger. This shit changed my life.

To add to this. Get yourself promoted to an intermediate-level position and chill.
>Get assigned the somewhat important (but not really) projects.
>No one gives a shit what you do as long as your projects stay on schedule and your work gets done
>Pay is decent
>Laugh at the entry-level workers who slave away at bitch work for 8 hours a day while being micromanaged
>Laugh at the senior-level workers who are under ungodly amounts of stress with high-visibility projects and multiple fires to put out
Fucking comfy.

>wonder where i'm gonna be in 5 years with no real skills
life's a bitch anon. I feel like my life has no meaning being stuck in the rut. All I do is pour drinks in a glass. I'm gonna go back to school in January because i'm sick of this shit man. I worked in IT for a few months and left because it was full of people sucked into their computer screens. Probably gonna get drunk, go for a walk, and listen to Tribe Called Quest again.

>Not everyone can live close to their job, faggot.
Why not?
There's no jobs available close to where you live?
There's no apartments for rent close to where you work?
There's no houses for sale close to where you work?
I'm definitely fortunate to live 5 minutes away, but this fucking meme that you need to work 30 miles from where you live is so ridiculous.
>>
>>2055072
I can't tell if this is sarcasm, but despite basically living like a NEET and getting everything I wanted (games, going out to eat, collectibles, etc.) while going to college and putting in zero effort, but I was still miserable.
I know a lot of other people here are in the same boat.

>An 8 hour work day is never 8 hours. Variables such as preparation for your specific job, breakfast, packing lunch, and commuting make an "8 hour work day" actually 10/11.
Take into account 8 hours of sleep and you only have like 4-5 hours of free time including eating dinner, running errands, etc.
Why even bother living as a wagecuck?

>Its very real in metro areas anon
I live in an immediate suburb of Boston (which has an atrocious public transport system and even worse traffic), don't give me that shit about metro areas. Even my worst commute where I had to take a train to the financial district every morning only took me 30 minutes because I specifically chose a place to live based on ease of commute.

>Get frustrated and go to bed at 11
>Wake up angry with chest pain at 5:45
It never stops, OP.
I'm going on three months of legitimate work, and I'm ready to fucking die now.
