      True, but there are a lot of people who love monotony. There are people out there who go to work all day and then come home and, as a hobby, grind some numbers on a screen in a video game.

      It doesn’t matter how boring it is or how much you think it sucks, somebody out there wants to do it.

      And most of the jobs that suck so much we might not have enough people volunteer for them can just be abolished anyway. We don’t need McDonald’s.

        I love monotony at work. I love being able to predict how much energy I need for a day and how much stress to expect.

        You need some breaks, and a few different tasks to work on through the day (e.g. sweeping all day sucks but cleaning the same space each day is super chill).

        I often feel like I’d be a legendary peasant lol, I love to work labour outside, then cook, and do handicrafts in the evening for mental stimulation.

        Basically everything tedious in life can be enjoyable if nobody is expecting you to approach it as if you’re a robotic arm on the assembly floor.
