I don't think the average office has ever been fun. If the average work someone did was fun then there wouldn't be a strong "slacker" culture. I think a lot of people romanticize "the good old days", like over technology, most things are worse than you remember them being, and you just remember the nicer aspects, unless it was genuinely awful and traumatic. It's like early transistor amplifiers and radios, the first ones were shit. They sounded harsh and thrashy. They got better quickly, but they were expensive to buy and paled in comparison to their valve counterparts for a long while. Even my old man romanticized them until he encountered one in the present day and remembered how bad they really were. I think he just remembered enjoying good songs, thus the quality was secondary to the music itself.
