Taro Thoughts

i never really share about my work (and thats intentional, i dont want stalkers) but wanted to share i recently got a new job!

previously i was working at a grocery store and the job literally broke my body. im talking id go home and be unable to move after showering. my body would be sore head to toe and would lock up if i tried to walk, my feet would ache so much id have to wear compression socks as much as i could, and so much more agony. i even got injured at work once!! fun!!! if youve ever wondered what a liter of coffee falling directly on your shoulder muscles/nerves does, it hurts! and you have to do physical therapy!! im so glad to leave that shithole. i loved the people but absolutely hated what it did to me. the only benefit to the physical work was being paid to workout, but at the cost of my freetime being spent practically paralyzed?? yea no. not worth it.

now i have a consistent and well balanced job! even onmy later shifts i can come home, shower, eat, workout and start to play games, and its only 9pm (the time id get home/shower with the grocery store job, yuk!) and its actually using my college degree?? and pays more>??? and the freetime after my earliest shifts??? theres SO MUCH!! i can do any cleaning or hosuekeeping before its dark out then have the entire night for myself!!

all that to say: now my life is more balanced and i can actually use my freetime for myself rather than purely using it to recover from my job. i can play games without neglecting basic needs, i can go shopping or hang out with frends wihtout ignoring chores, and i can learn new skills like html programming!! also lets me finally cosplay outside of cons again or work on future cosplays/projects. its pretty awesome.

if this is your sign to leave your shitty job for one with more growth and better suits your lifestyle then please do it, its the best choice ive made.
