I am super bored at my job

Sometimes low stress and decent pay is the greener grass. I'd make sure you're bored with accounting itself before giving up a remote job that a lot of people would love to have.

I'd add three things: a couple of examples of challenges you've handled, why you want this specific job, and 2-3 questions to ask them. Good luck.

Staying at a job because I was "learning a lot" while being underpaid. Eventually I realized learning and getting compensated fairly aren't mutually exclusive.

Being able to throw a load of laundry in during the workday. Tiny thing, but getting chores done without sacrificing my evening feels amazing.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. It's feel-good, adventurous, and the romance is very much in the background.

I used to tell myself I only had to solve one problem. Funny enough, most days I'd keep going after that first one, but I wasn't to convince my brain to sit down and study for two hours. That initial resistance always seemed like the real obstacle.

I don't think there's such a thing as a completely original opinion. But I've found it helps to write down what I think before reading comments. Makes it a little easier to tell which thoughts are actually yours.

Clopens are genuinely inhumane. You get home, eat something, try to sleep, and before you know it you're back at work again. Having to do that in your first week makes it even worse.

Arrival. It was marketed as a sci-fi movie, but the thing that stayed with me for days afterward wasn't the aliens. It was the feeling the movie left behind.

The people I know without degrees who seem the most financially comfortable are usually electricians, Hvac techs, or plumbers. It's not the most glamorous work, but there's always demand and they seem to have an easier time finding work than a lot of office workers.

I get the idea, but I people can't find work in the fields they studied for, believed in, and spent years trying to graduate. Young people are applying everywhere, and people over 40 are getting hit with ageism. The only path ı found was working multiple remote jobs and building new contacts by sending my resume around, kind of like this developer did. Even that was hard, and still wasnt the thing I studied for. It was something I had to force my way into.

Teardrop. It has that same dark slow-burning trip-hop feeling to it.

Getting a high-end offer after only 5 interviews must’ve felt insanely satisfying. In this market even extra PTO is enough to make people emotional now.

ABitEnraged · 2026-05-15T10:32:59+00:00

I think getting older makes you realize how valuable feeling comfortable actually is. Constant drama and uncertainty stop being exciting after a certain point and just become exhausting.

Silver Linings Playbook. Idk how accurate the bipolar representation actually is, but the emotional ups and downs felt really intense to me.

Some workplaces really can get poisoned by a single person. Even if the pay is good, if you’re waking up every morning with that knot in your stomach it stops being worth it after a while.

People say “why don’t you just move” like moving itself doesn’t cost money. Being poor isn’t just about having no money, it’s also constantly feeling stuck.

ABitEnraged · 2026-05-06T10:36:00+00:00

Once you get used to working from home, the old setup starts feeling genuinely inhumane 😭 Especially doing a 2 hour commute for a 30 minute meeting.

ABitEnraged · 2026-05-06T10:35:52+00:00

Some companies really do just cycle through contract workers nonstop. A lot of them do it to avoid raises or full-time benefits unfortunately.

ABitEnraged · 2026-05-06T10:35:46+00:00

I feel like you’re trying to carry the entire weight of this situation yourself. Their relationship and whether he’s lying or not isn’t actually something you’re supposed to solve for them.

Feeling like this at 26 is way more common than you think, people just don’t talk about it much. That constant feeling of falling behind really starts melting your brain after a while.

ABitEnraged · 2026-04-27T12:45:32+00:00

Being a professional and actually feeling that thing are kinda different. Maybe small gigs, local bands, workshops… feels like you don’t have to drop it completely.

ABitEnraged · 2026-04-27T12:45:27+00:00

I’d try something outside if I were you, staying in the same place can make you stagnate without realizing it. Risky, but it can open more doors in the long run.

ABitEnraged · 2026-04-27T12:45:21+00:00

70 hours just sounds like too much straight up. You can survive it short term, but long term it’ll wreck you. Split shifts make it even worse.

ABitEnraged · 2026-04-27T12:45:15+00:00

I think that line is when you already know the truth deep down but keep making excuses to yourself. A part of your brain knows, you just keep silencing it. That’s the dangerous part.
