For the older posters here, you know the drill. No struggle sessions, keep it nice.

For the newer folks, hi! I'm Corgi! I made these threads from time to time to see if everyone is doing OK. Got something cool you wanna talk about? Need an ear for venting? This is your space! Just be nice, this isn't the thread for arguments.

I made a down payment for next year's wedding recently, and I've been having a BLAST with the Retroid 3+. I've been going to the bar with the pup the last few days and just sitting with a pint and playing MVC2, Twisted Metal Black, Smash, and Mario. Met another Hexbear IRL recently, that was nice!

Hope everyone is doing well! Remember, you are loved stalin-heart

    I'm exhausted comrades

    I work a job currently that is 60 hours a week... 5 days with 12 hours. No breaks, though the work isn't that hard. And although it's hourly I get no overtime. No paid leave, no sick leave.

    I don't know how much longer I can stand it but there's not really any other jobs that I can pay the bills with around, at least until my SO graduates college and can start helping pay the bills.

    I had a fever of 102° yesterday but still had to go in because I don't feel like I have much choice.

    Also I feel so disconnected from society. I know literally nobody here. I moved close to my SO's school so we could live together. A year and a half later I have no friends, no connections. No social life. Working 60 hours doesn't help either. But it's not a large town and there doesn't seem to be a lot of people around my age or other opportunities to form connections.
