re: For those of you working office desk jobs - how do you stay coherent all day?

Working shitty jobs in high school and college made me want an office job more than anything. Now that I have one, working in an office makes me want to blow my brains out. I have another 40+ years of it to look forward to, but I assume it will get better when I'm not doing such menial tasks.

Drink lots of water so you can pee every hour. Gives you a good excuse to walk around.

Spotify...specifically high intensity music.

Netflix if you can.

That's why I love my job now. I get here at 5:30am and leave at 1:30 every day, just as I'm starting to feel that afternoon drag. My last job I worked until 5-6 every day and it sucked so much.

Or, just get the wifi password and mooch off of the company's network.

They won't give that to me.

No one is sitting at their desk, staring at their computer for the full 8-9 hours per day, 5 days a week.

For 99.99% of the people in the world I agree with you on that statement, but there is this old lady at my office who is insane. She is either one of those people who can sleep with her eyes open, or she is a robot. She is legit at her desk for 8.5 straight hours a day, it's insane.

It's really not all that bad. I have my Spotify Premium, wireless headphones, endless supply of bottled water, stocked fridge, dual monitors, laptop docking station, free catered lunches, happy hours, transit subsidiary and the list goes on and on.

When I start to think about how my job, is indeed, boring from time to time, I immediately ponder how shitty life would be making >$40K per year doing manual labor at some shite job. So be proud of the fact you have a college degree and represent the small majority of the educated population. It will get better, because you have upward mobility at your feet.

I been there. I worked with a lawn company for like a year in the middle of the summer and that was enough for me to know working 10 hours a day in the heat was not my thing .

Standing desk bro.

I've tried the desk job thing, it's not for me. I have to have some time in the field, some time in the office. I can't stay glued to one place.

I always take my lunch break. Ill eat for 15 minutes and then walk outside for about 30. A large portion of my job consists of selling so I like to stand up while In on the phone.
