Corporate office life is killing me?

Been without an assignment for like a month now, sitting here wiggling my mouse, listening to everyone’s half-hearted conversations around me, and trying really hard to look busy and it’s exhausting.

Then you see the people that are so gung ho about what they’re doing and I almost envy them. They probably get the good pay, the hot jobs, like they’ve been kept in an engaging state of productivity for long enough to still feel good about what they’re doing.

Feels like a joke to me. Honestly I worry about my overall mentality towards my career anymore. Like I’m never going to see it in a positive light anymore. It’s like once you’ve seen things for what they are, can you ever really go back on it? Un-see it? I don’t think so… I don’t want to be the lifeless, senior engineer that literally looks like Frankenstein, the walking dead, no life behind their eyes anymore, after I put in 20 more years of this, ya know?

It's a terrifying thought.
