What a ****. I had the opposite experience once. Client called in on a Saturday, I happened to be there. He needed something cleared through Customs (my job) and delivered, but he had made no arrangements, last minute order sort of thing. I sorted it all out, took about three hours. Boss called me into his office Monday morning, thought I was going to get a bollicking; he told me that Mister X from Company Y was the MD of that company and he had personally rung my boss that morning to say thank you, and praise me for being such a diligent and helpful employee, who went above and beyond on the weekend to help out an important client.
Don't you just hate me?

Not my problem.

Hit in the feels. Of all the things stopping me from improving my lot in life, one of the biggest is a complete lack of interest in doing anything else. My prediction since at least high school for how my life goes is either a bullet to the brain or ending up homeless, and I really have no optimism to speak of to convince myself otherwise. And so I coast, paying lip service to friends and family who try to get me to change when I know it's probably not going to happen, but I just don't have the heart or balls to tell them all that I just don't ****ing care anymore. It's just not motivating to imagine myself the same anxious, antisocial weirdo just with a decent salary and a nice TV, cause that's really the best I'm going to get.

Eventually your emotions start to die out and it just becomes boring. And so I piss people off to pass the time.

Have you been on antidepressants before? (Just asking out of curiosity; they've never really worked for me, personally.)

I think there might have been one or two, but they didn't have much effect. I'm currently on... something meant to help with epilepsy that's also used to treat bipolar disorder. Helped some, especially with the spirals of negative thoughts, but I think it's effectiveness is starting to subside, and while it helped with my overall mood it never did anything to my actual personality to make me motivated to do anything. Why would it I guess?

Srs ? You've been like that your whole life, or was their an on-setting event that broke your care-o-meter?

Nah, I pretty much always been like this. Even in grade school I felt fatalistic about how my life was going to turn out. I'd say the impetus for the "modern age" of Batlord nihilism probably started in high school when I was sort of at a crossroads where I was highly stressed by military school (I'm a terrible student who could always coast on osmosis but never put any more effort into school work than I could get away with) and figured I could either get my **** together or just say **** it, stop worrying about it, and drop out, letting the chips fall where they may. I went with the latter cause I couldn't imagine actually inventing my own sense of motivation basically from scratch.

It was good for a year or so. My stress level plummeted and I felt a sort of lightness that I couldn't ever remember feeling. Obviously this didn't last and I gradually settled into my current state of numbness and amused detachment. I can't say I regret not going the other route, cause I have no illusions that it would have turned out any different anyway. It would have just sucked more.

The problem with suicide is that when you start getting serious about it you realize that it's going to be really hard not to make it into to some kind of big ordeal. It takes a lot of get up and go. I wish it were easier to die through non-action instead of action. Like starving yourself instead of ingesting a poison. It's bull**** that it's so ****ing hard to have yourself put down as a simple medical procedure. Even that would be so much ****ing work. Shooting yourself seems easy until you find out how easy it is to **** up. Jump off a bridge. Yeah. You gotta drive there. Climb on the edge. Feel the wind. Look down. Heart races. Work work work.
