My work has had me working 10 hour days, 5-6 times a week, every week, since October. When I get home, I'm left with like 3 hours to made dinner, shower, then off to bed so I can slave away at this job for another 10 hours the next day. And then my one free day each week gets slammed with doing laundry and other chores I can't tend to over the week.
The girl I was talking told me today that she's lost interest because I'm never available- my entire social life has disappeared, but this job has allowed me to start tending to my quality of life and doing things that I haven't been able to afford like getting repairs done on my ancient car.
I am so tired of this trap between being too broke to survive and being too isolated to live. I shouldn't have the earn a living. I'm tired of being miserable.
