#oneaday Day 391: I Want to Go Back to Bed

Morning. Sorry I'm already sucking at keeping up to date with these — a fine start to 2020, I must say! In my defense, I'm stressed, anxious, tired and fed up, and as anyone who has suffered any combination of those things will know, it's easy to let things slide when you let your brain get into such a condition — even things that you want to do.

Anyway. I'm here now, having got out of bed at 6.45am to discover "World War III" trending on Twitter. You ever get the feeling where waking up just doesn't feel like it's worth it? Yeah, that.

It doesn't really help that outside of the things I enjoy doing — MoeGamer, videos and that sort of thing — daily life is kind of feeling a bit meaningless and empty right now. I'm sure this is a pretty familiar feeling to anyone in full-time employment, but I'm feeling especially conscious of it right now. I'm the sort of person who likes to feel like he's working towards something rather than just… working, but it feels like the majority of jobs out there — not just my own, which, as I've said a few times before, is actually relatively good in the grand scheme of things — are endless busywork with no real "end goal" in sight. You're never "finished".

I guess that's a good thing, because if you are "finished" then you probably wouldn't have a job any more, but still. Sometimes it just feels like you're getting up, going out and doing stuff just for the sake of it.

Well, in those cases I guess you just have to think of the paycheck and all the nice things that can buy you, huh?
