Spent pretty much my entire life working from 16 onward. Financially, I'm doing alright, I have enough money that I could pay off my student loans right now and not be on the brink of ruin.

I'm so burnt out that I'm pretty sure I'll kill myself when the money runs out after I get fired. I do not have the emotional wherewithal to start looking for another job in the age of video recorded interviews and 50-question corporate ball-gargling quizzes. I don't want to jump through hoops anymore just to be able to live, to the point that I would actually rather die than try to get another shitty day job. I sort of hope I don't get fired, but at this point I'm too tired to care all that much.
