Managed to have a small miracle in my job hunt and I landed a job as a janitor part-time, aside from data rating this was my quickest onboarding ever. The job is pretty easy so far minus physically, I sweat all shift, and it hurts to lift my arms over my head after a solid week of shifts, but mentally vs retail I feel great. I actually have energy after and before work to do things, vs retail I had to lie and rot to regain soul to do anything. This company appears to just need bodies and dgaf about anything superficial, which is nice for a change. I also earn a little more than my retail job and I get to keep all the coin deposit cans as a bonus, lol.

I'm super tempted to ghost my retail hell job since they started it with the whole 4 shifts a month nonsense, but I'm also getting unemployment, but there will be schedule clashes next month of a single day, and for certain the retail job is done, so there's no point in salvaging anything there, outside of my unemployment case. Then I got pinged for a talking to with unemployment for not finding a full time job fast enough, but the soonest the local unemployment office specialist can see me is weeks after my deadline, so it sort of seems like I'm out anyway.
