I have had a job since the day i turned 16. I will be 36 soon and for some reason i am really really getting tired of working. I would love to just take a year off and have my wife support me and the kids but i cant. :( she doesnt have the skills to make my paycheck to support the 5 of us.

I think i am depressed. anybody else feel the way i do?

Time to dump the bitch and get a 2005 mustang convertible with the stripper girlfriend add on package. Dont forget the leather driving gloves and hairpiece that almost flies off while driving.

move to another country where your small fortune would enable you to live like a king.

Don't you have other things in your life that you enjoy? A wife and a family seem worth working for. Seems like work is inevitable for everyone but welfare moms, maybe you ought to find something that makes it a little easier to tolerate instead of looking for a way out.

Alcohol is, like, the perfect solution to all of life's problems. It might not last very long, and when it wears off you still have all the problems you started with, but guess what. There's more alcohol! That's right, alcohol is the answer. You heard it here.

I'm not really tired of working, Citrix, but I'm a lot younger than you. I am tired of working for my current employer, though. Problem is, the wife's stuck here for another ten months and I really don't want to leave her and our infant son for a job in another state. So I don't think I'm depressed, just despondant. And tired of this place.

Right there with ya fella.
And I'm only 26. :(

My saving grace is my family, as I understand it, is pretty well off. So someday I'll have a good bit of money and can slow down the pace a bit. But for now??
Man, I'm tired of it. Someone needs to stop the world, I want off.

There are millions of people in your country who would love to take your job and be in your position. Suck it up.

{{raises hand}}

I've had a job since then(~~edit for clarification: I've had 17 or 18 jobs starting from 13 when I worked ten hours a week illegally for cash~~), I'm only 28 but I have three kids, the oldest being six.

I've worked a MINIMUM of fifty hours a week for the past 8 years, sometimes as much as eighty-five, I've held one job and also had a series of part time jobs on weekends and off hours in that time. All my friends have drifted away, and I have no time or energy to develope any support relationships besides family.

I'm "climbing someone else's ladder" as the saying goes. I have no real interest in the job I do, but they pay me far to much for me to be able to quit.

My after-work martinis have gone from an indulgence to a prescription, it's been over two months since my last day off, I'm currently working seven days a week, and I have a baby due in November.

Thanks for starting the thread and giving me an outlet to vent. Carry on.

Completely and totally.
There's more, but I figured I should limit the whining to work related stuff.
