I've heard this a lot but I don't put too much weight to it. It's too easy to forget that you had bills to pay and just think "if I had just quit my job everything would have been sunshine and rainbows"
depends on the job and why you're doing it. a lot of people are working jobs they hate to provide for people they love, who they don't feel loved by. and that's some fucked up shit.
what's weird as a dude, i find personally, is that if you aren't suffering for your job, you're considered an underachieving. I don't get it. there is a weird fetishization that men must be miserable at their jobs, or if they love their work, they must be working 80 hours a week at it.
i work my 35 hours, my bills are paid, i am enjoying life... don't see why this is so offensive to folks.
There are places outside that provide cool and shade. I found a small freshwater canal through the dense trees, which nobody cares about. wonderful place to cool down and stay until the mosquitos rise in the evening.
Just one mind to flip and change to uplift another to spiritually ascending greener pastures via joy and laughter in this capitalist hellscape dystopia by unleashing my algorithmically proven one-word mid-dark gallows humor response... WOULD!

Actual most common regrets include wishing you hadn't worked so hard and living a life you wanted rather than one others expect of you.

Impression I get is that its more don't treat your career like its your life. Which is absolutely something a fair few people do.

where i live you're a social freak if you don't treat your job as your identity/purpose/reason for being.
it's wild. And yet... all these people are miserable as far as I can tell.

Yeah, that is probably the sort of thing to avoid.

It really is sunshine and rainbows... and rain, and sleet and snow. because youre homeless, and have no roof over your head.
Remember, this is how we are when there is hardly any scarcity. Just imagine how things will be when its metal on metal.

Your murderbot fanfic needs a little more plot, but pretty good otherwise

Thinks of going outside
Opens door
Get slapped with a wave of heat akin to opening an oven
Nah, I'm good staying in.
