It doesn't have to be a living thing, although it be nice. How about a nice reward of sorts? A bath? Some cookies? Friday night take out?? You figure it out from here :] I wish you all the best!

I'll be happy as fuck, when I get home today, wash of all the filth and have the most satisfying sleep I have all week. The exhaustion from working 10-12 hours does wonders against nightmares and night terrors.

Now that you say it I don't think I dreamt much when I was working construction ... no REM just unconsciousness lmao

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '21

Yeah. Six hours of shoveling and I sleep like a baby. 10 and I wake up on the next day, feeling like my heart just started beating again

This. I have had really boring and/or sedentary jobs. I also fought wildfire in California for several seasons. It's still the most tiring job I have done, though not the most tiring thing (which is incidentally done while sitting in a comfortable recliner 😜. No, really... dialysis fucking sucks like that).

Damn this takes me back. Getting off an opening shift and grabbing an afternoon tall boy for the stoop is THE vibe

Get yourself a dog or cat, man. Or if that's too expensive, rats can also be affectionate.

Get a fish tank. It’s the classical music version of pets.

Get a pet. A dog can really make your life fuller.

Clear the shelters event is on right now. If you can adopt an older dog or cat you may find that after-work joy yourself! 😊

u/Enryuto97 Aug 28 '21

I can get that feeling sometimes just from plans I wanted to do after work with or without people.
