Job hunting so it's stressful and disheartening but could be worse
Struggling with my job, mental health, and finances. Things are very difficult right now.
It's okay enough, nothing abjectly wrong in my personal life. My depression has been annoying though, anhedonia through the roof. I've been going to bed by 6 because I just don't want to do anything. I gotta figure something out.
Work-wise: bossman, who is quite a bit of a micromanager, took a week-long vacation. I think you guys can guess what happened lol (almost no one showed up in the office... well the new hire & the lab manager did, also I still came in a few days but anyway)
Also I am fairly certain that the root of my sickness for the past 6-7 weeks was mostly psychological, so I've been trying to go outside & enjoy life a bit more. So far it seems like it's working
My dryer stopped working, but I have a multimeter and narrowed the problem down to a fuse that I can easily replace. So: damp but looking up.
Too much shit, not enough time. I need each day to last like 2 weeks to get through half of what I need to do, I need at least three times the energy to get through one third of what I want to do. There's never enough time, it suuuucks
Besides a bunch of heat-related issues, my week is going really nice.
Are you freezing cold? Because it is soooo cold where I live right now. abnormally extra cold!
