This is how I feel about work. I got a new job, I liked a lot of the tasks, they feel meaningful and it’s a heckuva lot better than the one that I used to have!
Less than six months in and I’m like "Okay, this is no longer new to me. I’ve already peaked here. Sure it generates currency but I have to come back already?? "
I’m trying to remind myself I don’t want a job that’s consistently a new and novel challenge, because that will burn me out on choosing new and novel challenges for myself.
Still! Frustrating. If this was skilled work like the 2014-ish tech industry I could just jump in 6 more months and double my salary, but it’s not. Lol
