My current public sector job is depressing hence why I am about to jump and come back to spreading which I had to leave in the last recession. Here’s some perspective: in my job I have to work at Xmas/new year/bonfire night you name it I have to work, time I should spend with my kids. I ask to work flexi shift so my disabled son has either my wife or me with him as we get no help with him- I get told no
I get pissed/shat/thrown up on and attacked and just have to take it.
I see lots of people die.
So NO plastering is not depressing and is a hell of a lot better than most other jobs so be thankful
