Question

Is it normal to dread going to work everyday?

It's Saturday and thankfully I have the weekend off form work so don't have to go back into work until Monday morning but I dread every Sunday night because I know that when I go to bed Sunday night I will have to get up Monday morning early and go into work which I hate and dread.

I'm glad that I have a job and can pay the bills but I wish I could somehow earn money working from home instead of having to go sit in an office for 8 hours making my boss more rich.

I hate having to be in a rush in the morning just to get to work on time just so I can pay the bills.

It also sucks when I'm stuck inside the office working on the computer when the weather is so nice and sunny outside.

I look out my window and envy all those people I see out on the benches of other buildings sitting there enjoying the weather and sun while I'm stuck in the office.

Yes it's very normal for you to dread going to work everyday and you're certainly not the only person who dreads work unless you're the person who has a job that you love to go to.

Some people are lucky enough to have jobs that they enjoy doing and so they can't wait to get back to work everyday but others like you and me aren't so lucky and are stuck in jobs we hate.

I'm currently working in an office on the computer for 8 hours per day and I hate the work and can't wait to quit the job.

Since I really don't want to have to go back to another job I started a blog a few years ago and am currently working on it during the weekends or when I get home from work or in the morning before work when I have the time.

It's slowly making a little money and I'm hoping that in a few more years I'll be making enough money blogging to quit my 9 to 5 Job and work on my blog whenever I want to and not have to be tied down to my desk and computer at the job I'm currently at.

I'm sure that I could have already been making a good amount of money blogging if I had the time but I still have to work my 8 hour office job and can only work part time on the blog.

I hope to have the blog making passive income in the next few years but it may take another 5 to 6 years to get to the point of it making enough money for me to quit my job and just blog for a living.
