It takes committed brains about nine months to conceive of water fully. This is how I reproduce, incidentally.

It wasn't too excruciating - the qualification I've got only took two years to finish. Digging holes in the dirt doesn't take a PhD, it must be admitted. 

It's only a shame that my job isn't friend-extendable. I think you'd quite enjoy drilling in the middle of forests with birds singing and sun shining and grass greening and all the rest of it - it may be more physically taxing than a job in a pizza kitchen but the working environment would be a definite step up.

At any rate though it seems that my online age obfuscation techniques have succeeded. Step 1: don't tell anyone your age. Step 2: pretend you're edgy and old. Simplicity wins again.

 Admittedly, my jorb is primarily that of "Go get this." "Put these things here." So, not really all that difficult really than I can say if your job is basically pointing out where the machine that does the drilling goes down.

 It's just.... How many times in a day I have to literally spin on my heels, snap to attention, respond as quickly as possible to barked commands, even halfheard ones, because lest I give anything less than 100% I couldn't stand the judgement. Sigh... I turn around, bam, there's someone else new there whizzing past with some other errand they have to do. Machines in some undetectable corner beeping in my ear for 5-8 hours. It's... taking all my energy.

 I would... find it quite the bonus to at least work near a window so I can see the daylight changing. Have fresh air, possibly.

  ...wait, is "grass greening" a discernible action? I feel that would be frightening, to hear a plant grow in real time.

Hey now, no need for aggressive stares. My job has only recently included supervising machines - the core of my job is hand-drilling those sweet sweet 5-meter holes. Shoving steel poles into the ground for 7 hours is more taxing on the muscles than a day working the pizza ovens, you surely can't deny.

That said, the pizza job sounds orders of magnitude more psychologically exhausting. It's awfully hard to cope with the incessant stimulation and stress that any fast food job entails, and your fine self has a more sensitive mind than most. There are at least a dozen major mind-health horrors that I could name from your descriptions of your job alone - it's certainly not your fault that you've been feeling so horrible lately. It's especially unsettling to hear that you don't even work in view of daylight.

You can't hear grass greening but you can smell it in the air. It's the opposite of what cut grass and salads smell like.
