I’m coming to the end of 18 days off. I don’t want to go back. I hate it so much. It’s a constant reminder of how isolated I am. I feel so anxious while I’m there. I can barely function, and people treat me like I’m stupid as a result. And it doesn’t even pay enough to build any kind of life.
But I can’t think of a real alternative. I just want it to stop. I can’t bear the thought of another year wasted there, miserable.

God, I wish I had an answer for you. That sounds awful. I hope you find a way to get out of there. Maybe it wouldn’t be as bad if you could feel less anxiety. Much easier said than done, I know, but if you could work on that it might make things easier. I hope you find an alternative soon.
Yeah, I know how that feels. I feel like my talents are being wasted, stuck in a tedious production environment. I can’t find anything better though. Seems like all employers suck now days. It’s a big game to see how much you can take advantage of your labor.
I know a guy who works in the glass department making vacuum tubes. He’s got so much more talent then a crummy job there requires. He does the most amazing artistic glass work! Everyone tells him he needs to quit and focus on that, but he likes the more steady income.
Anyway, what I’m saying is I understand where you’re coming from. A lot of people have the same sort of problems with their jobs too.
