Don't get me wrong, the job did make me feel like I was making a difference in people's lives and it was very VERY rewarding. However, I got way too comfortable about working 14hr per day shifts and became numb to being constantly burnt out. No time for myself, no time for hobbies or even sufficient exercise; just work, eat and sleep. I got a frightening wake up call over the summer and I asked myself, “WTF am I doing?” I just applied for a job at a new “sort of private” prison in my town that's doing things differently with a lot of new technology. I didn't even think I'd get it but the interview went really well and I got the job as an analyst. I'll be getting paid over double what I was making but now I'm on a salary and I'm working less hours. There's no longer that fear of “if you don't work, you don't eat.” I can call in sick and still get paid. I'm aware some people had jobs like this for years but it's my first time having a job that can pretty much change my life for the better. I've even started making music again and playing video games to unwind. Metro Exodus is one hell of a game!
