Dick jokes are one the primary joys of woodworking.

Ofc I can only go by this short description but I'd do it. In my former job I ended up with depression and it took me 1,5 years for recover. I didn't want to do 1st / 2nd lvl support any more but found a place in another city that I liked and it had the opportunity to opt-out of the support work or keep it to a minimum, once you're skilled enough to do other work.

Now work doesn't get less but instead more, colleagues are - on a social level - find and I even made some friends, but they're so hard to work with. I just came back from a week off because I was sick and after 10 minutes reading my emails and teams chat I'd rather turn the computer back off and go back to bed.

I don't hat the tech. Hell, I even tinker with it in my free time, made the switch from windows to Linux even though I'm a gamer. I got pihole and home assistant running and I'm planning on a home server / NAS for Jellyfin and other stuff. I like this things.. but people man.. they drive me literally crazy.

But since I can't do anything else and I need the money to pay rent and buy food I can't just start another, badly payed, apprenticeship. I'm feeling stuck in a job that I despise because of the people in and around it. So if you have the change go get away from it and use the computer stuff as a nice hobby, do it.
