I’ve worked nearly two weeks in a row. Revolution now pls.
I’ve worked nearly two weeks in a row. Revolution now pls.
I know this seems like baby numbers for some of y’all. It is baby numbers for some of my coworkers who’ve been doing what I’ve been doing for a lot longer - I’ve somehow managed to not get my two jobs to schedule me on the same day so I haven’t had to work too much on a given day. Everyone else I know does that tho.
I finally have a couple days off. But I have so much pending shit to do during then. I don’t have energy for anything.
Revolution soon pls.
The extra stuff is what really gets me. I'm a big time introvert and homebody so after work I just wanna snuggle with my dog and forget the world. The amount of 'mangerial' stuff in our personal lives, on top of work, can feel really suffocating.
Fuck life admin all my homies hate life admin
And its mostly about bullshit that shouldnt need admin anyway.
Is there any way to maintain energy for the extracurriculars in our lives so we can be well rounded humans?
Without meth, of course
Willpower. But meth is cheaper than fixing your nerves later.
Honestly, I get the weekend off every week but even so I’m burned out. Between a 9-5 (that is sometimes a 9-6….), trying to do activism, trying to maintain a relationship, god forbid any other social activity, or recreation…. I feel like I have so little time.
It helps that I’m an introvert so I don’t need that much interaction but still…it does get kinda lonely. The occasional after work hangout or family time is good tho. And I try to get in some reading time or something in between everything else.
nah that shit is crazy. when covid kicked off i did 30 consecutive and it almost broke me. longest ever and not done that since.
my new position is a fixed schedule thank gaawwwd but yes you should rest
revolution as soon as possible for your body's health
Revolution soon pls.
I don't wanna have work tomorrow, so if someone could fit it in before then, that'd be great...
solidarity. I do this once every month or two it seems. fkn sucks.
Too gooddamned tired for revolt. Too tired for anything but feebly pawing at the posting button, seems like.
I absolutely feel you.
I've been working nearly 10 days in a row as well, yet I'm only a part time employee because they can manipulate the schedule so I end a week with 30 hours between Thursday to Saturday then work another 30 hours Sunday to Monday and then it's like you get two days to try to recover from the overworking they do to our bodies. And it doesn't really happen because pending shit gets in the way of recovery.
I've started just leaving my shifts an hour or so early because the extra money isn't worth it..my legs had a dull ache in them just from walking around. My shoulders ache, and I'm falling asleep within an hour of getting home and unable to function. All to wake up at 5am and do it again.
It leaves me miserable and angry at everyone around me.
Yep, work to the bone, it your still part-time so you don’t get any benefits. Your schedule sounds absolutely awful. You should look into compression socks if you haven’t yet. They help you if you’re on your feet all day.
I'll definitely look into compression socks yeah I need anything I can get to help me out.
It's probably due to age, but I don't know how I managed to work all those 10 day weeks or never have two consecutive days off at some jobs.
That sucks I'm sorry.
I've gotten nearly this with just one job before because I got back-to-back scheduled 6 days (Tues-Sun and Mon-Sat). Knowing how they did scheduling where I worked this was almost definitely a lazy accident by an underpaid faux-"manager" and in my infinite wisdom I didn't even try to swap shifts or complain, I just thought, "oh yeah I can handle that okay". It was not fun. Oh and I got a clopen on that Sunday-Monday, as was tradition from said lazy scheduling. Oh, and for ne a clopen meant closing by 2:30 AM and being back by 8 AM. I didn't even notice until that Sunday...
Anyways just letting you know that I feel your pain even though in my case I was a bit of a silly goose that took way too much nonsense for no reason. I'm sure it's a constant balancing act with the two jobs.
you and everyone else just need to accept lower living standards and stop trying to keep up with the joneses as they say.
stop killing yourself for capitalism.
Bro I just want to make enough for rent, groceries and utilities. I don’t want anything else 😭😭😭
bananas are free when you get them out of the overflowing dumpsters full of edible food available in america.
WORK IS A NECESSARY PRECONDITION TO MERE SURVIVAL YOU STUPID FUCKING IGNORANT WORM, OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK THE FUCK AROUND YOU, EVERYONE IS KILLING THEMSELVES TO FUCKING LIVE AT ALL NOT "KEEP UP WITH MUH FUCKEN JONESES" YOU PRIVILEGED FUCKING MORON
WHAT FUCKING MONEY IS LEFT TO "KEEP UP WITH MUH JONESES" WHEN EVERY FUCKING DOLLAR OF IT IS GONE TO BASIC NEEDS AFTER 40+HOURS A WEEK OF SOUL-DESTROYING WAGE SLAVERY?! WHAT FUCKING MONEY YOU TELL ME YOU WORTHLESS DOGBRAINED PIECE OF SHIT??? THIS IS THE FUCKING WORLD WE LIVE IN YOU UTTER TROGLODYTE
NOBODY CAN EVEN SAVE FOR A FUCKING HOUSE TO CALL THEIR OWN THESE DAYS, GO BACK TO REDDIT SO YOU CAN POST MORE FASCIST NONSENSE AND RECEIVE THE SEAL-LIKE APPLAUSE OF OTHER EQUALLY LOBOTOMIZED PETTY BOURGEOIS SUBHUMAN CRACKERS
CRY MORE YOU FIRST WORLD HOG.
your greed knows no bounds.
I have eaten out of dumpsters, lived in availed buildings, hitchhiked everywhere, etc to avoid giving my labor to the capitalist machine. I did this for decades.
I don't do that much of that now, but I do bike to work because I try to save money, even though it sucks. I try to but as few new things as possible because most new goods and made using slavery.
I don't cry when I know so many people in this world have it so much worse than me, a first world american hog.
welcome to the rest of the world, hogs!!!
death to america.
