    I’m struggling with this now. In my 20’s I worked all the low-wage crap jobs but I was physically moving a lot.

    Now I get paid a lot more to sit on a computer all day at home, and I still love computer programming, web development, building networks, etc.

    The problem is I miss it being a hobby. I’m kind of burned out on our work project and sometimes I daydream about going back to work in fast food. Believe it or not I loved working in the kitchen at McDonald’s during lunch rush — it sounds fucking cheesy but my store manager and I used to race to see who could make orders faster without making mistakes.

    Going back is just not doable now with the cost of living now.

    Edit: I realize writing this makes it sound like I’m calling garbage truck driver a shitty job; my intention originally was to say that I miss physically working (and to an extent being in the world) but I veered off in my late night state
