I knew returning to work would be hard.

What I didn’t need or expect was a reminder that I don’t like my work anymore. Maybe I haven’t for a while now. Mindless tap tap into a screen to solve a puzzle for someone else. Cash in at the start of the next month. That’s all this is to me.

Everyday, I wait for the clock to hit 1pm. It’s time to panic.

When will the numbness kick in?
