So, how’s the new job? you ask

The job is exactly the same as it was when I worked there before.

Which is to say: although the computer systems have been upgraded and the work process been observed and tweaked by an efficiency expert, there is still the timeless rhythm of processing items and documentation.

Which is to say: management still wants it faster faster faster and faster still. Oh, and I noticed you slowed down, could you pick up the pace? Here is a pile, are you done yet?

Which is to say: although the job is just as mind-numbingly boring as it was before, I am in a better mental place than I was the first time around.

The job is a GOOD job. (As long as GOOD is acronym for Get Out Of Debt, that is.) Having a specific goal of rebuilding my wheezingly empty savings account helps.

Only having one job this time around helps.
