A) if the situation is so dry and boring that you’re joking all the time, find a more exciting / engaging / challenging situation. I know your job is great, you _are_ engaged, excited, yadda yadda yadda (so was I). But when you find something that really knocks your socks off, and demands you to be your best, you’ll joke less. You’ll probably still joke some, but the jokes are less, better timed, and hit harder. The crowds usually better in these situations too. Comedy’s a powerful tool.
B) I don’t recommend this to the uninitiated, but you can try just getting kinda high before the boring situations. This helps because 1) you’re a little stoned, so inane details seem more vivid / interesting. And 2) you’re probably a little paranoid about whether other folks know you’re high, so you joke less. Being high all the time killed my dopamine though, so I quit permanently after a couple years. Got me through the boring stuff (shoutout school, my first couple dev roles), but much preferred the sober exciting stuff (option a).
Throwaway because well, you know, the above is very personal experience.
