My wife's workplace tried to have them do dream journaling and then had them come back and report back to the group on what they dreamed about. This is a fortune 500 company that you've absolutely heard of before.
Yeah, at best, that would result in a whole lot of "I didn't dream last night" from me.
You could never do this with an IT team .... every single engineer would answer something like:
"I dreamt of leaving this god forsaken job and moving to a farm in a very rural town with 500 inhabitants then never having to touch a computer again"

See, for me it's not as much the computers that's the issue. It's the people. Oh God the people. Makes me want to go deep into the middle of nowhere where there's not even light pollution
It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste their stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it.
Find you a B2B position .... it's still glorified service desk, but at least you're dealing with your own kind instead of shudders Normies
Edit: I just realize B2B can still be the general computer literate populace ... I don't quite know how to call this type of job. L3 support?
We deal with other engineers, the customer's in house IT team calls us for support with our specific product, but we don't deal with the end users or the stakeholders, only engineer to engineer.
I'm a step off from it at an MSP so it's not like it's just anyone calling in. But the number of c suite people who apparently can't do their job without AI these days is concerning
The one thing C suite execs and AI have in common is that they're both really good at being confidently wrong.
Or I have this recurring dream about the head of HR performing oral sex on me.
That would end that really quick.
I frequently dream about dying in horrific ways.
Okay, so there is this big aspartagus, now it's a moving reckless 8mm european slider from a german window that can open in many ways. One way comes and absorbs itself without any blue ingredients except light pickles that were brought into ransom from andorra in 1800 and 1800BC, the small spring is a irish chair is conscious, it feels warmth.
