I also sort of wanna quit this shit job and get back into fermented veggies and just sell those. I was making quite a bit during covid just selling for a few hours on Saturdays. Midlife crisis mode activated lol.
I sent my 6 months feelers out asking my various groups if they have any leads. An actual Israeli zionist lviing in Israel in my horror movie discord group suggested I use Indeed. My reply was that over the past 3 years I've probably applied to over 1,000 jobs on there but thanks anyway. The guy has had a stable job since day one though and doesn't get fired or quit once every 12-18 months from autistic burnout like me. Must be nice being so successful. But also death to Israel.
I've probably also applied to another 500 or so jobs on the various other job posting sites. No one wants me, and I can't even do freelance correctly since no one wants to pay for a website.
Last time I went on vacation I started a business
But for real though, I kind of wanna give it all up and stop organizing because it's all turning to shit too. I made the joke a billion times but I almost just want to go start a commune away from all the bullshit of being oppressed in a capitalist society. I'm tired, boss.
My only friend in the field is pretty by the book on stuff so probably wouldn't lie if I use him as a reference and stuff. I do have a friend that offered to be a reference but he doesn't know the first thing about tech.
I'm pretty sure I'm officially in burnout because of work. Last shift, I had a guy take 40 or so stops off of me but still got done when I normally would. Had I not gotten help, I'd have been out until 7pm. That shift was exceptionally bullshit though.
I hate that I've been writing code on and off for 10 years but haven't had a programming job long enough to be worth looking at. I have a portfolio and active github(both linked on my resume) but am consistently getting denied interviews. I just want to make websites because I'm decent at it. But no one local or remote wants to even bother with me. And like, even if I do land a decent paying software job, at this point retirement isn't even an option. I'm now mostly just looking for something that is steady enough to live off of until I die.
I have 4 mobile apps on the Play Store. I have over a dozen websites I've made in the last year, 3 of which are actually live and being used. I'm not sure how big of a portfolio I need at this point to even be considered. I think next week I'm gonna make a fake resume that claims I worked for years at several now defunct companies doing web stuff and see where that goes. Idk. Life just sucks. Ever get the hint that you should just accept your shitty existence for years but still try to ignore it? Not great on your mental health.
A combined income of $75k isn't enough to live off of and save for retirement. It's practically a poverty income once you have kids.
What is the amount you interact with the kid, compared to the grandparent? I'm recently learning through my wife via still trying to tackle gentle parenting, that often times, kids will act out for attention. If the grandparent is using YouTube as a babysitter and not engaging meaningfully with them, this might be part of the problem.
I do this but it's because I get fired once every 12 to 18 months.
You got a ton of answers and they are all right lol. So I'll just say welcome aboard, comrade!
Will check this out, thanks!
That's actually why it's in my library lol. I grabbed it but never made it to the discussions.
I was doing that during covid and was making like $300 every Saturday at the farmer's market. We have a community market event coming up and I'm thinking about whipping up a batch of kimchi for it actually.
