I feel so burnt out lately. I work 30h a week so 4 days and I've been doing this job for about 3 months now. I like the job, it's a bicycle repair shop and i really like building and repairing bikes.

But i don't want to have to be there on their terms. It's always the same, the company structure is bad, everybody blames each other for all the same problems and the guy who's the main mechanic is a person i cannot stand, since he's always pissed about everything and just not a nice guy to be around.

I called in sick once so far (i really was sick) but I'm thinking about just calling in sick today because i simply cannot get my head around going in today.

I had the same thought last week and on friday i just didn't go and didnt tell anyone. Which no one even noticed because my boss is on vacation and other people don't really care.

This way i just collect negative hours which i have to compensate for sometime.

Right now I'm chillig in bed waiting for a spark of motivation to just go to work. I can basically come and go when i want, as long as it's within the opening hours.

What should i do? I would appreciate any advice or motivation.
