Dear Diary,

Hi! I forgot to rant about something that's been upsetting me in the last months. I HATE GOING TO THE OFFICE FOR 5 DAYS STRAIGHT EVERY WEEK!

So we transitioned from a work-from-home setup to working onsite already, and when I tell you, it's not fun. Our office is just a 30-minute walk from where I live. You probably think it's just 30 minutes, but for me, it's 30 MINUTES! It's tiring, and preparing for work always takes up so much of my time too since I don't wanna be late.

As for my workmates, they're okay. I'm actually close to some of them, and we often go together during breaks. I just hope they wouldn't always talk to me. I know it sounds mean, but I'd love to work quietly, so I could focus on my tasks, especially now that I've been given a new one. It's why I try to wear earphones most of the time so they won't approach me. Tho it's unavoidable sometimes, I really hope they leave me alone, especially when what they're going to say isn't important or isn't work-related anyway.

As for the bosses, they suck. They don't really care about their employees plus, they're very problematic coz they have a lot of issues going around that was even escalated to HR. I just find it so unprofessional of them, so I don't want to get mixed up with them as much as possible.

I feel like my work-life balance has just completely gone out of the window. I can't even enjoy my rest days anymore coz I'm always tired already during weekends. Maybe I just got so used to working from home, so I sound so dramatic now... but 5 days straight at the office every week to me is just so damn much. It's exhausting both physically and mentally.

I'm really praying they'd grant us a hybrid setup somehow. That'd be really great.
