This, but intersected with work bullshit ("don't forget to follow up on that email!" "Did you put accurate data in that report?" "Boss was cold towards me, she must hate me" "you're gonna lose your job); health poo poo ("stomache ache? You're gon die bitch"); and catastrophic things happening ("you didn't pay insurance on your car" "you're not gonna get that contract extension" "you're gonna be evicted"

My wife has had one job throughout our relationship and I've had, like, a different one every year and they've all been poo poo

Same, except swap wife for husband.

Is it the jobs?

Am I unlucky?

Is it the scourge of capitalism?

Is it me?

If it's me, wtf can I do about it?

Yes, exactly!!
I don't know the answers but I'm glad that someone can relate, unfortunate as it is.
I have, I feel, a variety of hobby-level skills that could be leveraged into career skills but I have no degree/certification and nobody will hire without one.
I'm just tired of barely getting by with nothing to really show for it. I'm not asking for the world. Just enough money to, like, not live in fear, or be able to save up some, or whatever.

3-6am i'm always wide awake. I've worked full time graveyard shifts for almost 2 years now. Money is pretty alright for what i do, and i like it because i'm not a people person, so the only things that talk back are the machines and floors i clean. Lately though, i'm beginning to realize the full price of these shifts, which is costing more than the companies money.

I recently took 8 weeks off work. They shut down on account of the bug going around, and instead of switching to mornings, i opted to take life easy and live off that federal check that went around. During that time, i saw friends i had not seen in forever, and met new people both irl and online. But as i returned, those relationships dissapeared as quickly as my exposure to the sun. My old friends miss hanging out at reasonable hours, and the new friends i've made thought i fell off the face of the earth. I catch them from time to time (mostly the online people) on the weekends, when they can stay up late. But they've already done their gaming/drinking/party for the night, and i only get a handful of minutes before the party winds down and people start heading to bed.

I was fairly content with the work situation before my vacation, but now that my eyes are open and i realize the life i'm forefitting in exchange for work, it's hitting me hard. I'm almost 30, and my friends are living their lives right before mine. Out of state trips, camping and fishing expeditions. Marriages, kids, deaths in the family. All of it is taking a backseat to my career, and i'm being left on the sidelines. A decent relationship also has yet to be found, and it's not going to get easier to find in my 30's.

May this rant serve not only as decent bathroom reading material, but as a potential cry for help. Hopefully it doesn't hit too close to home with anyone else reading this.

Life is too short goonfriend. Take care of yourself and think about recalibrating your work to support your life, not having your life support your work.

This is my most common 3am-6am thought, tbh. I do not like still being awake by then.

By day 3 I'm :smithicide:
