Reply to comment by [deleted] in I welcome failure because I don’t want to pay the price of playing it safe [Discussion] by TreatThompson

I feel this comment a lot, because I wake up on the daily thinking, if this is all life has to offer me, I don’t think I want it. I have no plans or intentions of doing so, but I get it. If I’ve learned anything about being miserable all the time, it’s this; you make your own mood everyday. You decide if you want to be hyper active crazy and silly all day of if you want to have a scowl on your face all day. If you hate your job genuinely or you hate the pay you make. Start looking at Glassdoor and indeed. There’s jobs everywhere. I just recently changed career directions from us contractor work for the govt back into the direction of collision repair. Start applying for places you like, and go from there. Apply for everything your curious ahout because, fuck it dude why not?

There are no jobs out there that would come close to the money I currently make.

I’ve taken a pay cut for my mental health before. If you can’t make it bearable, and don’t want to leave, then make the job work for you. You don’t work for the company, that company works around you because you have a life.

Life doesn't work that way.

Works for me. I wouldn’t want to work anywhere else because of it.

I could make an excuse up to leave work if I wanted. It’s that easy, and I haven’t done that by the way, just an example. It’s very laid back, I come to work do my job, go home. If my wife calls, I answer it.

Consider yourself lucky. I work every shift...evenings, mornings, and a midnight... during the course of 5 days. I've done this for numerous years.
