I took today off for my birthday but my job dominates my mind because of how unpleasant it makes me that I just spend all my time thinking about it. I haven't done anything fun today at all.

If I wasn't going to get a COVID test later I probably would have just canceled my day off and gone into work. At least that way I wouldn't spend all day speculating what's waiting for me when I return (in a weird way work is a distraction for how unpleasant my job makes me, even though it's doing that job that's driving me up the wall).

I really want to quit...

I work as a tier I helpdesk jockey.

I can't quit because I need stable income and this job is overpaying me (I think). I've been applying around for more serious IT work (which I've done before) but nothing's really taken shape yet.

$68K/yr. and...I dunno, medium-sized region? It's not like a major metropolitan area but it's got a decent number of people living here.

I bring home around $950 a week and my monthly bills add up to around...$600, I guess? Ish (I calculated this before but things changed since then). Electricity is the most dominant of my bills but it shifts around (sometimes it's my Internet/cable bill that is more expensive, it depends on the month). I don't have to pay for housing itself, just maintaining the monthly expenses, I own the house outright.

Just play some games or do something to clear your mind for a bit. A day not working is an off day well spent.

Tbh I find myself doing the same thing every Sunday. Just thinking about Monday all day and dreading it until it's time to get ready for work in the morning.

lol if you're mortgage free I'd say just max out your 401k or equivalent match for a couple more years then retire to something part time like substitute teaching

Yeah you sound like you hate your job and that youre very miserable.

I think you should consider looking into other options because wherever you work now clearly isnt right for you.

I guess that's what happens when you take a job just to break the cycle of unemployment. At least working affords me an opportunity to be more particular about what my next step will be.
