Any books that deal with the "daily grind"?

do you mean like fiction about "the daily grind"?
philosophy for how to deal with "the daily grind"?
or maybe something more marxist that criticizes "the daily grind"?

How does anyone enjoy the "daily grind"? I've met people who are proud of it

Anything honestly

It is kind of fascinating to me, I just recently made the shift from student to wageslave and it is not depressing, not satisfying, just meh.

I guess there are a few jobs that actually let you do things that you enjoy?

Dunno desu

Fuck literal wageslaves tho that defend working just because they're bitter and don't want to see anyone else enjoying life.

stoicism is a very materialist philosophy so working people like it.

The Pale King - Wallace
Philip Larkin's poetry
And Then We Came To The End - Jewish guy
The Office (Dutch novel) - Dutch guy
With The Flow - J.K. Huysmans

Microserfs by Douglas Coupland, although you'll only find it relatable if you work in the tech industry.

Do you mean The Evenings (Dutch: De avonden) by Gerard Reve? If so, very good book.

Almost any because most are escapes from it and thus they deal with it.

>stoicism is a very materialist philosophy
Not really, they just say that obtaining preferred indifferents (material goods) should not impede virtuous pursuits, nor should they define you as a person. If a stoic should lose all of his wealth in the stock market, they should not be bothered in the least. Wealth is meaningless as far as a stoic is concerned, it is simply an indifferent that is preferable.
