What does "over the grind" means?

Question

I searched on Google and YouTube, but I didn't find any results about "over the grind" at all. And I'm not sure what it means. However, I found "grind (down)" which is perhaps a synonym (but again, I'm not sure and would like clarification.) Finally, the example I saw from an Australian newspaper

if you're over the grind of your 9 to 5 job and longing for an adventure, this story might just be for you!

Answer 1

“Over the grind” has no meaning; it’s not a phrase.

The phrasal verb here is “to get over [something]”, where something is a difficulty or a loss or a disappointment, such as a poor job evaluation, the breakup of a relationship, a death in the family, and the like.

In this sentence it’s “the grind of your 9 to 5 job,” which you perhaps used to like but no longer do. Thus you may be ready for something more adventurous.

Answer 2

Over

no longer interested in or concerned about (someone or something)

MW

Grind

DRUDGE

MW

Drudge

to do hard, menial, or monotonous work

MW

9-5 (nine-to-five)

a job with regular daytime hours

The intended parsing can be paraphrased as being no longer interested in the menial work of your job.
