Blue collar work breaks your soul and your body

just came from a 12 hour workday and physically feel like shit but have mental energy to do my hobbies. Can't say the same when I was an intern in a meatgrinder office, my mind switches off

im not a tradie, but I did do repairs on my car all day long for a few weeks just to stop being a nerd. I can agree, when I worked in an office I came home lobotomized basically, but the physical labor, I was just sore and hungry but still had mental energy.

These

I've basically just fallen into drinking to decompress my last workday and sleeping most of my days off. I'm not on the normie Monday-Friday schedule. There's not much to do on during week days off. Read a book, do some chores and get ready to go back to another ball crushing 50hr week. Can't take time off to do anything. Even if i could, what would i do with one singular day off?

White collar work actually does that more.
All that sitting down at desks all day staring at computer screens affects your health and it makes your spirit numb with all the focus on numbers.
Humans and supplies are seen as elements of mathematical sentences

I work retail and I got sciatica and hip problems and I'm only 33 fuck this shit

If we say that retail and food-service aren't "blue-collar" they're "dog-leash" I agree with this. General labor like warehouse stuff feels like just getting paid to exercise but trying to tank aggro from an endless stream of burger-crazed salaroids will take everything from you

>ohhhhhhh my poor le soul!!!!!!
Lol. White collar work is much better and cushier than blue collar work, what the fuck is this shit.

I remember seeing a bunch of articles and shit a few years ago about trying to find ways to deal with the back problems office workers get sitting down all day. I'm not saying it isn't a problem, but they can go for a walk or do some damn stretches, nobody's tryna figure out how to help our asses standing up and actually doing shit all day.
