Fe₂🦀₃⋅H₂🦀 (taking it SUPER easy) on Nostr: It's taken me a solid month of rest before my brain has even considered crawling out ...

It's taken me a solid month of rest before my brain has even considered crawling out of the burnout abyss it's been in for the past year. All that 80 hour work week stuff they've been yapping about on twitter has been my reality for a very, very long time now. The results of said lifestyle are highly questionable. I've gained a lot of experience from it, but I don't think I need to inform anyone here that skills and work ethic are tangential to hiring for a livable wage.

I know for a fact that I need to take an abnormally long break from it all to recollect myself. What's causing me grief is what comes after that. I try not to think about it but how can I not? I know that I have support that I can fall back on if I really, really need it. I doubt it will come to that.

In trying to get my mind back together I'm forced to evaluate what possible futures look like. They all suck.
