Sigh.

Monday, I have to pee in a cup for a job that will pay me $19/hr.

My last job paid over $70K/yr.

On the bright side, I think my at work stress level will be low. I don't expect to have imposter syndrome as my constant companion.

This is my constant companion.

I have a job interview later this week. It's for a job I don't want to do at a place where I don't want to work.

I've been wishing for my former employer to spontaneously catch fire. (FYI, if that actually happens, I didn't do it. I'm not going back there unless they rehire me.)

I've been drinking a lot more lately.

For a while, I had mostly stopped drinking and occasionally drank light THC drinks instead. Now that I'm unemployed, I need to be able to pass a drug test, so HELLO BOOZE.

I am so completely emotionally exhausted.

I was laid off from a job I treasured with absolutely no warning while less productive coworkers junior to me got to stay.

I was the only female in my area, and the company claimed to value DEI.

These constant attacks on DEI are exhausting.

The world may be on fire, both figuratively and literally, but I could really go for some cucumbers and Zesty Italian dressing right now.
