Antiwork

Talking to my mother tonight about work related stress management, and how I don’t want to throw almost a year of sobriety down the drain.

My workload has doubled, I make less money thanks to “we don’t do raises” and inflation. I told my mother I’m so stressed I want to drink myself silly and she asked me if I got paid per project. I said no, and she replied “so…you still get paid if they don’t find you help and a few projects get behind….right?”. She’s right and I will forever be a mommas boy. If I keep saying I can’t maintain 60 hour weeks but somehow deliver then what would management care? So you know once the customer starts asking why I’m late on things I’m just going to copy my boss and say why. I don’t know why it’s so hard for me to put my family and sobriety above work.
