Former long-time lurker of r/CTH. Just want to chat and post with some comrades. Maybe make some some funny comments along the way.

    I don't like my job because it involves taking care of aging people who are in the process of exiting this world, and while I work I know from what we discuss on this site that we don't really have a future where w we'll live with the same level of prosperity as they did (certainly not one with the same availability of nursing homes as we have now). I feel like I'm a boilerman on a sinking ship being told to keep the boilers going no matter what to keep the lotus-eater machine running for the aging post-war generation.

    I want a better career than this. I at least want to use my degree to do something that doesn't have me work minimum wage. I have to focus on that but, I have no time.

    I want to quit my job some day and pause to breath but, I'm afraid if I do, my dad, who has an insane standard for working (into his 70s and still doing custodial work) will yell at me until I'm back working full time. Really a lot of what I'm doing is to please him so he doesn't explode.

    I also work different hours than most people, so not really any time to do social activities when working on a Friday/Saturday night. That really came to the front when I tried going on that one date with that girl a month ago. We both had such different work schedules.
