Be professional, since you earn sh*t load of money for conducting very simple tasks, just do your job. No one promised us exciting work in every project. Sometimes you just need to be a soldier and do your tasks. Sorry but this is the reality of region.

Its not the reality of the region lol its the reality everywhere (im in Canada). Work is work and you’re always bound to have a toxic boss/client/project/job. My advice is Build your life outside of it. Dont make it your life. Have hobbies and things to look forward to after you clock out. Go out every single chance you can. Exercise a lot if you can especially team sports. It personally helped me a lot.
