Every time I walk in the city everyone is sad and depressed and unhappy. I work in a call center for 8 hours or 9 with lunch included or 11 hours with dislocations included. Anyway. Most of my work is BS. Makes zero sense and doesn't even have any logic or helps society in anyway. I m tired, burnout and depressed. All works are like that now: impossible objectives and follow 300 rules in a call. I wish ia would take capitalism and this crapy jobs away any time.....i would not care. Of course if ubi arrives.
