I’ve got the trifecta of a shit work situation right now: I am unemployed, but I am in grad school doing 20 hours per week of unpaid labor. So, not only am I working for free, I’m actually losing money (tuition, rent, groceries, etc.)
Hoping for better after graduation this spring!

Laid off two months ago from a tech job. Basement flooded over the holiday weekend from a backed up sewage line and my wife threw her back out during the immediate cleanup and had to go to the emergency room. I’ve been playing both janitor and maid while being stressed about severance coming to an end with no real prospects yet.
Fun times!

And it doesn't even have to be this way. It never had to be this way. But thanks to shitty city planning ever since the invention of the automobile, and a slew of terrible federal decisions over the same time period, home unaffordability and wage slavery is the default for all born into existence (at least, in the USA).

Not at all! I clean houses for a living, it's my own little business. I love all of my clients! The lady I'm cleaning for tomorrow is 72. She just lost her boyfriend of 11 years. He got diagnosed with cancer and declined very quickly. I had the pleasure of meeting him three times before he passed. This woman is adorable and so kind to me. She always has her hair done, makeup on point, and wearing some adorable outfit with jewelry to match. She tells me all kinds of stories from when she was my age. She's such a cool lady. A lot of cleaners don't like when their clients are home and they're trying to work. However, I Love It. The majority of my clientele are seniors who genuinely need the help and are so so appreciative. I have become close with all of them. I never knew my grandmother and very rarely got to see my grandfather. So in a way, I have acquired 15 or so grandparents. I feel lucky

Day after a three day weekend, which always sucks at a call center. Plus, the bank I work for updated some systems starting last week and people were already pissed.

I am actually looking forward to it.
I am working on a project that is terrible - but I got approved for an internal transfer. So, I am a lame duck and am gone by the end of the month.
And here's the other thing. This project sucks. It was architected wrong, would cause a shit load of problems if it is put into production, and overall just make my current team's life's miserable if they have to support it. So, I have to get it working functionally, but make it's my team's best interest that I do a shitty job so that they stop funding it.
Also, I'm tired at home. My wife is recovering from COVID, so this whole weekend I had house work, kid duty, and catching up on random shit.

u/Rat-Daddy-Splinter 6h ago
No work tomorrow, but I have a job interview. I’ve had so many interviews over the past four years that went nowhere and it’s starting to feel hopeless. Due to a combination of factors (some admittedly might be my fault, but other things I genuinely have no control over) I’ve never even had a job before, which makes it even harder.
So if I get the job I guess it will not be dread, but a mix of fear and excitement.

u/SunshneThWerewolf 6h ago edited 6h ago
As much as I do every day, which is a lot.
My wife was diagnosed with bipolar with psychosis after two gnarly manic episodes earlier this year. That's after years of battling with my older sons autism and a toddler who doesn't sleep. As far as work goes, I approach every day with a mix of dread and apathy.
After nearly 20 years of doing everything 'right' and continually climbing in my career while still managing to be a decent person, I just... don't care anymore. I don't even know if I'd call it burn out, it's like more than that. All my interest and motivation and energy is non-existent. I do the absolute bare minimum and am really only set up for it because I 'hustled' my way to a senior role, manage a really solid team of individual contributors who handle their shit, and show up for the emergencies and highly visible things.
I just absolutely do not give one tiny shred of a single fuck anymore.

As a disabled SAHM, tremendously.
Tomorrow is the 2nd week of public school.

I may be watching my 8 year old nephew and driving him to school. But my SIL is as bad as me about responding to texts.
My AuADHD (with anxiety) high schooler starts homeschooling tomorrow.
My 1st grader needs to go to the doctor for what I am certain is an ear infection.
I am in a ridiculous amount of pain from arthritis, and fighting a menstrual migraine and a lupus flair. Oh. Let's not forget my former 80+ year old neighbor, who says I am her best friend list her 2nd son yesterday, so I have to be there for her.
