Life is for having fun, it doesn’t mean it awards you fun for lying in bed for 16 hours straight. You have the opportunity to go and make your own fun.

When does the fun start?

You make it fun. And the fun don’t stop.
… Unless you burn out. Burn out is no fun. [<- To be clear, that is “no fun”, not merely “not fun”. Burnout blocks all fun. Which, recursively, is, no fun.]

One of the best things I ever did for myself was find a job I liked doing.
Until I was in my 30s I just thought that I hated working. When I found a good job I could get up on a rainy Monday and not hate myself.

As someone with a 5 month old, who has been laid off and unemployed for 6 months, I just want money. Rather, I need money. Soon bills will go unpaid so we can eat…
Point being, I’m going to hate any job I get because I’m just going to look forward to going home and being with family. This time with them, while super fucking stressful, has been amazing and I don’t want it to stop.

If you are in the US, start applying for civil service jobs.
You won’t get hired right away, but they are worth the wait. Good health care benefits, good unions, and steady work.
Also, this book really helped me.
“Discover What You Are Best At” by Linda Gail.
Pointed me at the job I loved. Never even considered it, and it turned out to be the perfect fit. Your local library probably has a copy.

Canadian. Thanks tho.
Honestly, I’d love to help people or animals with my time. I’ve looked at jobs that would let me do this, we’d have to sell the house and I’d still not be spending that time with family… If I’m going to be unhappy about a job, I should just stay in tech so I can potentially work from home and afford the lifestyle we currently have.
