Advice on working hard

Treat your life like a good tomato sauce.

In order for the sauce to taste delicious you need to start off with a good base preferrably nice starchy and well done tomatoes (job experience or specialization you can always fall back on).

Next you need to make sure you add the right ingredients as to not overpower the flavor of the tomatoes but enhance it. This is where the freshly picked basel parsley, garlic and onions comes in. Here you need to have a good balance that goes along with the tomatoes (hobbies for fun and potential side income).

NEVER forget the essentials aka that EVO, salt n pepper, the darker the oil the better. As with all in life add a bit of oil, salt n pepper at a time and dont be afraid. (Doing things for yourself, thinking for yourself, caring for yourself mental and physical.)

If you are feeling a bit funky, throw any of these; some meatballs, sausage, ribs, chicken feet, pig skin. Mix and match until you find what you like the most (hobbies or experiences you want to try out).

Lastly dont try and cook it in 20 minutes, the longer it cooks the tastier. (Shit takes time, dont rush it and plan stuff out).

Enjoy your sauce, now add the pasta (enjoy your life with all the extra worry free time you now have.)

It may take a few attempts to figure what works and tastes best for you but sooner than not, your sauce will be oh so flavorful.

Good luck you young piece of shit.

Look out for yourself. Nobody else will do it for you. Decide how your future self is going to look back it thiis time. Is he going to be proud. Or regretful?

Okay. Construction is tough. Ou also said youve hated all jobs. Well, welcome to adult life. The world has NO mercy on you as a male. You need to work. Everyone hates it. At least construction will keep you in shape and make you alot of money. As well as provide you with useful life skills. Time to man up. Childhood is over.

Why can't you get a new job?

Sounds like you need to find a different job.

All jobs suck! thats why they pay money!

If you want to eliminate watching the clock and dread; keep busy at work and apply yourself...

Not for the assholes in management, but for your own knowledge of a job well done.

Establish good habits, they are what invariably carry you thru hard times.

Dont settle for a job you hate. First of all, make sure you hate your job and it's not because you find yourself in a bad spot in life (are you happy outside your work? Hobbies? Friends?); as sometimes we confuse the two.

I read you work in construction and unless you really like to work with your hands or plan on opening your company I would discourage you from working in such a field.

The reason is that it's a very demanding kind of job and unless you somehow advance your career significantly you're gonna find yourself in your 30' physically broken and without any other marketable experiences. It happened to someone I know.

Keep in mind that no one cares for you. They will use you for years of your life in exchange for some money and then they will toss you away. It's your responsibility to elevate yourself to a decent position.

If you are in a job where you are not learning anything new and important or are not making big money, then look elsewhere and leave.

If you can't find a job you like I highly suggest you to go part time giving you at least more time for yourself. Then you can use your new found time to look for other activities that might be more interesting to you. Is there something you'd like to study? Are there courses that could help you get in fields you might like more?

I like my job. That really helps of course. Sure some days I dread going to work, those days I just put on my shoes, roll up my sleeves and stop complaining. On top of that I spend my well earned money on the most important person in my life: me. My advise to find fulfillment in any job is: pick something you like doing ( if possible within reason), be fully engaged in your task at hand. Appreciate your results, big or small. Work is a big part of life, there is no changing that, complaining about therefore is complaining about a big part of your life. I see those people who are quite the opposite of me, they leave strictly on time, long for the weekend and wait for their retirement. They are longing for the "good times ahead. That way of thinking turns work into torture instead of a joy.

Especially when I have to go to work I usually dread having to go to work

Sounds like you need a different -- better -- job.

If you you feel like counting down the clock in all the jobs that you have had then you are the problem. Maybe you haven’t found a job that you like yet but you have to start realizing that if you hate every job you have worked at and don’t do your job well then you will always be miserable. Your attitude has to change first.

I think you're in a job you don't like. Now mind you: no job is perfect. We all have "those days." But if you're day in and day out are "clock counting" it means you're in the wrong spot. In your case at, with all due respect, your age it can mean 2 things. Either you truly have picked the wrong spot to work. Or it's a transitional phase: you just can't do the job just yet. You didn't specify how long you are working there.

Now in the case you're working there for say 3 months I'd say; give it a shot some longer. Perhaps when you get the hang of it you might actually like it. 3 months being a arbitrary "time limit." If your loathing is that present after that, it's time to pick a new path. Ask yourself this question: is it the company I don't like or the job? That's a profound question. If your occupation is, say, in the trades you can work at a totally dysfunctional company while you like your job. In that case: go for your own job elsewhere. If you hate the trades: go and look for something completely different. And no. All said actions don't need to be done right here. Right now. You're a ffing man, so you can easily swallow the BS and take time, build up and change your focus. Even if that's taking 3 years. The best advice I've been given was: "look for work where you find the routine pleasant. Because the routine is per def the things you do the most in your job." And that makes ffing sense! If you do work with the routine is detesting for you with some occasional highlights it's not for you.
